Looking forward to sharing some pretty new (in every way) research into Nic Roeg's Walkabout, settler colonialism and cinematic/geologic/colonial timescales, as part of the @StAndrewsFilm Speaker Series.

Join us at 4pm on Weds Nov 10, free and online: https://t.co/2UsmQ3ae2A

@robotissy @DistShoresConf It was worth staying up late for this! A great end to the conference & perfectly timed for Halloween too 🎃 Massive thanks Issy for all your tweets tracking the discussion over the 2 days of #DistantShores 👏

@AntipodeanWyrd @robotissy @stemorgs @LadyLiminal1 @DistShoresConf @Andy_Paciorek I tell people over and over, there's no Hookland without my childhood of being brought up by Australian film on British TV., but they just don't believe me.

It's the vibe of the thing...

And back at @DistShoresConf this morning to see @robotissy discuss LONG WEEKEND's place in the larger eco-horror cycle of the 1970s. An excellent exploration of the film as an example of both national and transnational genre cinema. #DistantShores

[Distant Shores: Intl Perspectives on Aus New Wave @DistShoresConf]

Finally for our first genre panel is @robotissy (one of our esteemed co-convenors) with their paper on LONG WEEKEND and eco-horror, which seeks to transcend its associations with Ozploitation #DistantShores

[Stephen Morgan @stemorgs]

Haven't been tweeting much about #DistantShores @DistShoresConf for various reasons, but absolutely stoked with how it's going. So many great papers and discussions, including Martin Holz brilliant dissection of MAD MAX I/II as westerns.

A nice companion to our roundtable on the Gothic in Australian cinema later today! #DistantShores

If you want to get really spooky in the last days of Spooktober, take a look at this Anthology of Australian Gothic!

Brilliant first day of @DistShoresConf! And given I was wearing this t-shirt, and passing through that station, I couldn't not take a sneaky selfie! #DistantShores
