Book excerpt: The pioneering story of AustraliaOCOs 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.

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 CoastOCOs unique blend of government tax support, innovative entrepreneurs and diverse natural settings made it a perfect choice to host Hollywood productions.

Download or read book Exiled in Language written by Walter Tonetto and published by Academica Press,LLC. This book was released on 2001 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exile is ubiquitous in 20th century literature whether temporary expatriation or permanent flight. This quartet of self-exiled German - Australian poets/writers provides an unusual exile of second remove and an extraordinary study in language praxis. These gifted poets and critics fled to Australia because exile meant life and Nazi Europe meant death. They remained despite the lazy suspicion of many native Australians that these scholars were "worse than the pommies" (a terrible thing to be called in Oz) and were "prancing poufter poetasters". One of the exiles returned the compliment by calling Australia "hell...with bad white wine". Professor Tonetto describes the individual achievement of each writer and the contribution they made to the world class and confident Australian literature of today. Their brilliant gifts in two languages and their influence on contemporary Australian and German/Austrian writing is also analyzed
