Golden age of genre films leads Australian industry revival
The Australian film industry is in the middle of a renaissance, with locally produced popular genre movies riding a wave of success, from action, comedy and sci-fi films to crime, thrillers, and our unique horror productions, says a QUT researcher.
Associate Professor Mark Ryan, a lecturer in film, screen and animation, and a chief investigator with QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre, argues the study of film genre has been long overlooked in Australian film studies and deserves more attention.
He adds that despite some exceptions, critics in the past have largely relegated local genre films to B-movie status and celebrated Australian movies that contributed to a sense of national identity and history; films like Sunday Too Far Away, Breaker Morant, and Gallipoli.

Focus on little communities to make big impact
A University of Southern Queensland researcher is turning trash into treasure in a new project in the Lockyer Valley.
University of Southern Queensland post-graduate student Christine Blanchard is successfully combining her day job with doctoral studies to make her corner of the world more environmentally prosperous.
As the Waste Coordinator for the Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Christine is involved in trial funding under the State Government’s Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) program.
“The trial will be based on providing 900 households in Gatton and Laidley with an additional rubbish bin that’s specifically for food scraps and garden waste,” Christine said.
