Talks about how Australian films must fit the American commercial criteria in order to be funded if they wish to be picked up by U.S. outlets.
The U.S. control most of the major outlets and are committed to selling their own product. |
| Synopsis |
Brian Kavanagh talks about the 'fail factor' for Australian films screened during the death watch period of October/November when distributors release the "also-rans" before the Christmas blockbusters hit the screens.
Suggests the A.F.I. Awards should be run earlier in order for Australian films to reap the benefits of their success for a longer period.
Suggests Australian filmmakers seek the illusory prosperity offered by America but adhere to the European concept of cultural expression. |
