Third Take: Australian Film-makers Talk

"This collection of articles and conversations among Australian filmmakers explores the place of Australian cinema in a globalized world. The role of Australian filmmakers working in America is discussed, and interviews with cinematographers such as Don McAlpine of Moulin Rouge and John Seale of Harry Potter and the SorcererÆs Stone are included. Filmmakers discuss with their colleagues the issues and concerns usually raised by journalists and critics. Also included is a detailed description of the classic Australian film of the 1970s, Newsfront , in an extraordinarily candid, witty, and eclectic mosaic of the making of the film with contributions from the film's producer, scriptwriter, and director, Phillip Noyce."
