*American Reference Books Annual*
This is a cogently written reference work with more than adequate
cross-referencing.
*Screening The Past*
The film industries of the two countries are treated in separate
sections in this reference, which is intended as a resource for
further research rather than an exhaustive encyclopedia or a record
of all films. For each country, coverage includes a listing of
acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introduction, and a
"dictionary," which consists of entries ranging from a paragraph to
several pages (e.g. the entry for "masculinity" in Australia) on
significant films and their personnel and relevant themes. The
bibliography is extensive and is organized by subject. There is no
index. Authors Moran ((Griffith University, Queensland) and Vieth
(author of "Screening Science: Contexts, Texts and Science Fiction
in Film") are both based in Australia but have extensive knowledge
of New Zealand as well.
