Abstract
ABSTRACTFollowing the release and broadcast of his recent essay documentary Indonesia Calling: Joris Ivens in Australia (2009), writer-director John Hughes offers a pictorial essay reflecting on aspects of Ivens' 1945–1946 project, a work that engaged with great urgency with contested relations within an Australian social formation divided by class and attitudes to race, and between Australian political leadership, its European war-time allies and the anti-colonial ambitions of the Indonesian Republic. A more detailed account of Ivens' Indonesia Calling (1946) and its impacts on Australian film in the early post-war period was published in Senses of Cinema 51(2009).
