Melbourne on Film: Cinema That Defines Our City
Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is Australia's most revered celebration of cinema. It is one of the world's oldest and most storied film festivals, continuously running since 1952. MIFF's 70th edition will include a specially curated program of films depicting the iconic and little-seen moments where our city and our cinema meet.

Australian Film Festivals
This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the history, operation, and growth of film festivals as a cultural phenomenon within Australia. Tracing the birth of film festivals in Australia in the 1950s through to their present abundance, it asks why film festivals have prospered as audience-driven spectacles throughout Australia, while never developing the same industry and market foci of their international fellows. Drawing on over sixty-years of archival records, festival commentary, interviews with festival insiders and ephemera, this book opens up a largely uncharted history of film culture activity in Australia.
MIFF 60
Take a look back at the art surrounding MIFF for the last 60 years with our MIFF 60:The Graphic Art of The Melbourne International Film Festival publication. Complementing our forthcoming exhibition, the book will feature full colour reproductions, with particular attention paid to the 'golden age' of Australian graphic design, when MIFF was famous for its distinctive artistic style. With graphic design heroes such as Max Robinson (designer MIFF 1958) and Brian Sadgrove (MIFF 1974) offering insight into MIFF's visual language and discussing the design process of their MIFF commissions, this publication is sure to charm both MIFFsters and art lovers alike.

Dangerous Space
Dangerous Space is a collection of seven seductive stories by Kelley Eskridge, whose novel Solitaire was a New York Times Notable Book, with an introduction by Geoff Ryman (author of Was and Air). The opening story, ?Strings, ? takes us to a world that tightly controls musical expression and values faithfulness to the canon above all else. By contrast, in the title novella, ?Dangerous Space, ? we see the full power of music unleashed to sexually enthralling as well as risky effect; original to the volume, this tale features Mars, the intriguing narrator of ?And Salome Danced? (short-listed for the Tiptree Award), on tour with an indie rock band on the verge of breaking out. Closing the volume, the moving, edgy ?Alien Jane? (a finalist for the Nebula Award and adapted for the SciFi Channel's Welcome to Paradox series) delves into the importance of pain for the human organism and finds hope in the most unlikely of places.
