The Hybridity of Filmmaking in Australian National Cinema: Formulating a Cinematic Post-diaspora
Rama Venkatasawmy
Honours Dissertation, Communication Studies, School of Humanities, 1996
How is a film's attribution of an Australian identity by some critics legitimised? What is "Australianness" and how is it expressed filmically? Is there such a thing as some kind of "pure" form of "Australianness"? How and where is filmmaking positioned within the sphere of Australian national cinema and culture? How does it relate to and fit into the broader international cinemascape?

Chapter 3: The changing definition of "Australianness" on film
