Australian Screen Texts and Industries

BAFLM3002 Australian Screen Texts and Industries

This advanced-level course provides an overview of Australian screen media, including film and television. An introduction to the organisation and development of Australian screen industries is provided. Screen productions, including films and television programs, are studied both as texts and in relation to their contexts. The unit explores contemporary examples and other significant developments in Australian screen media by analysing screen works in relation to cultural debates and key themes. Course content encompasses fiction and non-fiction, and diversity in terms of gender, class and ethnicity, including Indigenous screen production. The unit fosters understanding of Australia¿s relationship to the international screen industry by introducing students to cultural, social and economic contexts in which Australian industries operate.
