----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear Jeremy Butler: Could you please post this to your discussion group if you think it appropriate. Thank you. I am interested in compiling a list of scholars and other interested persons engaged in teaching, researching, writing or just thinking about Australian Film --or who are interested in doing so, especially writing about. I am especially anxious to learn of anyone with particular interest in the textual or contextual examination of individual feature films of the New Australian Cinema. Rather than only contacting practicing academics, I would like to contact a broad range of interested persons, including post graduate students, industry professionals and journalists and free-lance writers on the area. A reply to the e-mail address indicating name, type of interest and/or work/publications/research activity in Australian film would be greatly appreciated. Neil Rattigan, University of New England, Armidale 2351. [log in to unmask]
