Abstract
Although women are a minority in key creative areas in Australia, they have played a major international role in relation to perceptions of Australian cinema and industry, and as creative talent within global cinema. This article outlines how Australian women have facilitated the global flow of film industry practitioners as they work with international money and talent, and exchange ideas through their films. It examines key patterns of the international reception of films by Australian women, and explores their contribution to ‘cinematic internationalism’. It argues women film-makers have been central to the reception of Australian cinema and industry internationally, and a small number of women have had extensive reach through films that communicate female perspectives.
