BADIG2005 Australian Screen in Global Contexts

What is Australian screen content in a global media landscape? The concepts we use to understand what is Australian on screen are changing in todays digitised environment. This intermediate-level unit examines the contexts and development of Australian screen content and industries in the twenty-first century. Using examples from television, film, video games and online videos, the unit invites students to have an active role in interpreting and contributing to current discourse about screen media. After an introduction to cultural nationalism and government funding, the unit gives attention to factors and challenges facing Australian creators in a global context. Topics include international genres, transnational productions, ethnic and social diversity, Indigenous content, non-fiction and fictional content, and global platforms. Students learn concepts and frameworks for identifying and reflecting on challenges and issues for Australian screen productions in changing environments.
