Description 93 pages ; 22 cm Summary Marcia Langton analyses the making and watching of films, videos and TV programs by Aboriginal people in remote and settled Australia. She introduces theoretical perspectives to investigate concepts of Aboriginality and presents case studies of films such as Jedda, Tracey Moffatt's Night Cries, Brian Syron's Jindalee Lady and Ned Lander and Rachel Perkin's film of the Warlpiri Fire Ceremony Jardiwarnpa. The central requirement is to develop a body of knowledge on representation of Aboriginal people and their concerns in art , film, television or other media and a critical perspective to do with aesthetics and politics, drawing from Aboriginal world views, from western traditions and from history Analysis Aboriginal Australians in mass media Ethnic mass media Australia Mass media and race relations Australia Aboriginal Australians in mass media Aborigines Aesthetics Case studies Ethnic mass media - Australia Films Mass media and race relations - Australia Racial discrimination Television Videos Notes Title page: An essay for the Australian Commission on the politics and aesthetics of filmmaking by and about Aboriginal people and things Bibliography Includes bibliography (pages 87-89) Notes Out of print Copy 2 - donation from Tom Austen Brown collection Subject Moffatt, Tracey.
