Advance Australian Film - New Kanopy video now available

The Library is pleased to bring you access to the online video Advance Australian Film

Advance Australian Film is an investigative, thought-provoking documentary that explores the inner-workings of the Australian film industry, celebrating some of our key successes and examining the changes occurring across the global filmmaking landscape - with crowdfunding social media marketing and video-on-demand platforms empowering filmmakers like never before and changing the way movies are being produced and accessed.

The Library provides access to a selection of other streamed videos in the Kanopy database, including:

The Examined Life Series, which offers learners an in-depth analysis of the wisdom of the Western world, The Examined Life studies the "Great Questions" that have intrigued philosophers from antiquity to the present. Using writings of past philosophers and interviews with more than 50 contemporary thinkers, the course episodes underscore how these great questions - What is art? Does God exist? What is the meaning of life? Does the end justify the means? - still reverberate in society today.

The 1905 Act and personal experiences. This program is intended as an introduction to Aboriginal culture, the experience of invasion and colonisation and the ongoing struggle of Aboriginal people to maintain their identity as the first people of this land. Against a backdrop of the account of the Western Australian 1905 Act, Leisha Eatts, Walter Eatts and Caron Farmer tell how this Act has shaped their lives and indicate how it reverberates still in the daily experience of Aboriginal people.

 Access these online video collections via the Notre Dame Wall on the Kanopy platform.
