Local Hollywood
The pioneering story of Australia's own Hollywood. Hollywood films and television programs are watched by a global audience. While many of these productions are still made in southern California, the last twenty years have seen new production centers emerge in the US, Canada and other locations worldwide. Global Hollywood has been made possible by this growing number of Local Hollywoods: locations equipped with the requisite facilities, resources and labor, as well as the political will and tax incentives, to attract and retain high-budget, Hollywood-standard projects. This new book gives an unprecedented insight into how the Gold Coast became the first outpost of Hollywood in Australia. When a combination of forces drove Hollywood studios and producers to work outside California, the Gold Coast's unique blend of government tax support, innovative entrepreneurs and diverse natural settings made it a perfect choice to host Hollywood productions. Local Hollywood makes an essential contribution to the field of film and media studies, as well as giving film buffs a behind-the-scenes tour of the film industry.

The Past and Future of Public Value
Public interest and public priorities frame laws and the work of regulatory institutions that shape and monitor cultural production and marketplace behaviors. This chapter utilizes Moore's notion of public value to focus attention on the value created by the instruments and instrumentalities through which public interest priorities are realized. Notions of serving and facilitating the public interest have long underpinned a range of regulatory and facilitatory policy measures in screen media. Meeting social and cultural objectives is only one type of public value creation in screen media. For their part, industry and consumer developments have played an outsized role in shaping regulatory attention and outcomes in screen media. Changed methods and practices of advertising have been coupled with new combinations of the media system's basic components. The difficulties inherent in regulating online media and global digital platforms are no justification for abandoning longstanding principles of public interest in each of media production, distribution, and consumption.

The End of Cinema? The Return of Cinema?
Even when cinema seemed in trouble over the past thirty years, from video, from television, and in some markets from pay-TV, we could take for granted a number of certainties about it. These were certainties about its pleasures, its locations, its running time and the technologies it's produced with. Over the last decade a series of developments have made these certainties less certain. We are witnessing a changing ecology of cinema, television and video, with practices of exhibition and distribution displaying simultaneously remarkable continuity and signifi cant discontinuity. We are also witnessing a changing balance between public and private space for the consumption and celebration of audio-visual images. What follows is an essay about our old technological, screening, distribution, business and film appreciation certainties and those emerging certainties which seem on a number of fronts to be vying for their place.
