Jews and Films in Australia

Abstract

Until recently there has there been a dearth of Jewish filmmakers, as well as a paucity of Jewish representation in Australian feature films. Why? This question first interested me when as a Jewish film reviewer J became aware of the role played by Jews in creating Hollywood, and the extent to which Jews have contributed to cinema in other countries of the Diaspora, particularly France, Britain and Canada.
