A SPINIFEX FEMINIST CLASSIC

Australia's film industry was amongst the earliest and most innovative in the world. Don't Shoot Darling brings together more than forty women film-makers, film critics and theorists to create an important and fascinating record of independent women's filmmaking in Australia. The book contains essays and statements by film theorists and film makers. Barbara Creed writes about feminist film theory; films by Gillian Armstrong and Jane Campion are examined; while film makers Pat Fiske, Solrun Hoaas, Alison Tilson, Sarah Gibson and Sue Lambert write short statements about their film career beginnings. An essential document for understanding the history of film in Australia.
