Australian post-war documentary film
The post-war period in Australian history was rife with critical debate over notions of nation-building, multiculturalism and internationalization. Australian Post-War Documentary Film tackles these issues in a considered, wide-ranging analysis of three types of documentaries: governmental, institutional and radical. Charting the rise of progressive film culture, this volume critiques key films of the era, including The Back of Beyond, and retells film history by placing these documentaries in an international context.

Interview with Cecile Starr
[...]I loved the teaching that I was doing, and I felt I had a real affinity to showing films that so clearly demonstrated the point I wanted to make that they hardly knew that they were learning anything, they simply absorbed it. [...]I tried to get Barnouw to hire Shirley Clarke for a summer session to do a production class, and his attitude was \"never heard of her.\" Because I had a master's degree, which I'd obtained at Columbia Teachers College as part of the work I did for this magazine, which was published by the Institute of Adult Education at Columbia Teachers College. [...]I put the book out, and the publisher who agreed to take it on, I urged them to try to put out six films that would go with the book that the teacher could actually show.

Digital Transmedia Forms and Transnational Documentary Networks
This chapter seeks a better articulation of the concerns that arise for Australian documentary studies from the shift to a discourse of transnational film studies in relation to this shift in topics for Australian documentaries. It also considers the ways in which these documentaries have appeared in the digital era. While it is important to acknowledge how the scholarly discourse has shifted, it is equally important to understand this phenomenon in relation to the substantial changes that have occurred in what is euphemistically termed the Australian film industry. In order to undertake this articulation, it is important to recognise how documentary film in this country has been understood as part of a national cinema and to trace the international characteristics of Australian documentary. The chapter also examines the discourse of what the author calls a transnational documentary network as it operates in Australia, focusing on Steve Thomas and Lisa Horler's Freedom Stories.
Book Chapter
Ghost Stories Book Review
The Summer Exercises is Gibson's literary iteration of his and Kate Richards' Life After Wartime Suite series, which has included the Crime Scene exhibition at the Justice and Police Museum, Sydney in 1999, the improvised performance Life After Wartime Live with The Necks (2002-03), and the Life After Wartime CD-rom (2004).3 Published in the University of Western Australia Press's New Writing series, which 'encourages the ongoing production of creative and speculative writing by new and established Australian authors', Gibson's latest book is a poetic and aleatory work of improvisation, a lyrical rendering of a story sparked by a decade or so of finding a means of expression in a jumble of images, many alone, unbounded by tags, or titles or names.
