The book delves into the interplay of gender, race, and place as depicted in significant Australian films across different eras. It examines works starting from Charles Chauvel's 'Jedda' in 1955, through the New Wave period films of the 1970s, to the contributions of Indigenous filmmakers since the 1990s, and into the current landscape of transnational productions in Australia. This exploration highlights the evolving narratives and representations within Australian cinema.
