North Of Hollywood North: Bowen Island And Screen Production Networks, Rebecca Coyle
Dr Rebecca Coyle
Bowen Island is located close to the British Columbian metropolis of Vancouver, in southwest Canada. Its proximity to Vancouver’s audiovisual studios and screen production services has enabled several professional screen industry workers to reside on the island and commute for employment. At the same time, the island attracts film and television productions from the Vancouver-based ‘Hollywood North’ due to its convenient location and highly attractive land and sea environments. These productions offer some social and financial benefits to islanders, while creating portraits of island life that are disassociated from locals’ experiences. Meanwhile, resident screen producers (and other cultural workers) create …

Marking Time In The Barry Mckenzie Films' Music, Rebecca Coyle, Michael Hannan
Dr Rebecca Coyle
This article examines aspects of the music of the Barry McKenzie films directed by Bruce Beresford (The adventures of Barry McKenzie, 1972, and Barry McKenzie holds his own, 1974), with particular regard to the ways in which the music places the films in a set of historical contexts. First, the music composed by former advertising songwriter Peter Best, reflects a particular approach to film music associated with the revival of the Australian film industry. Second, performance numbers in each film can be heard in the context of collections of sea shanties and bush ballads. The bawdy nature of the songs …

Radio Norfolk: Community And Communication On Norfolk Island, Rebecca Coyle
Dr Rebecca Coyle
IntroductionMy interest and research into the radio service on Norfolk Island commenced with a three-month residency in 1999.[1] Both my research and my experiences on the island brought to mind the contradictions and tensions between public and private, as well as between global and local, which seemed significant then and still affect island identities today. These aspects pertain to the radio service on the island insofar as Radio Norfolk is both a highly localised service while at the same time a conduit for broadcasts from elsewhere, some of which represent Norfolk Island back to itself through news coverage of island …

Showing Some Fight: Kemira’S Challenge To Industrial Relations, Rebecca Coyle, Lisa Milner
Dr Rebecca Coyle
Inspired by the ‘Work Choices’ policies initiated by the Coalition-led Australian Federal Government in 2006, this paper offers a historical overview of Australian documentaries associated with industrial relations. Our paper will case study the 1984 film Kemira: Diary Of A Strike (dir. Tom Zubrycki) documenting the 1982 BHP sacking of 400 miners, and the 16-day occupation of the Kemira pit by 31 miners. As a government-funded, union-sanctioned and award-winning film, Kemira holds a particular place in Australian documentary genre. We will outline how the perspective of the film, which focused attention on the miners' families, was conveyed via the diegesis, …
