What The Boomerang Misses: Pursuing International Film Co-Production Treaties And Strategies, Brian Yecies

Dr Brian Yecies

This paper illustrates some of the dynamic ways that members of the Korean, Australian, New Zealand and Chinese creative and cultural industries have engaged with international instruments such as co-production treaties.
