And even when something decent is made it is usually pastoral boredomkino about depressed farmers that only your mom goes to see more for the principle of supporting Australian film than any actual interest.
The real Australian film industry though is offering tax breaks to American studios for shifting production to Australia.
The general public is more than happy to just watch American stuff alongside localized versions of reality tv shows.

We used to make everything here for ourselves, literally everything. Then the Japanese needed industry so we bought their crap, even though it was utter crap at the time, made in Japan meant what made in China does today, rinse and repeat with South Korea and now China. Meanwhile all tariffs on imports of all kinds of goods are removed by successive Australian governments, even farm produce, now here we are obscenely rich but hamstrung by ourselves, not allowed to have ambition as a nation, not even allowed to celebrate our national day, told our flag is racist, i'm fricked if I know what the overall plan is, I just know that it doesn't include an Australian nation.

Continuation of governance for western powers if the northern hemisphere is rendered uninhabitable during WW3. In the meantime the country is just a collection of shantytowns on the edge of strip-mines and US military bases trying to delude itself that it constitutes and independent nation.
>Australian media was decent in the 80s and 90s. Now it is just reality tv trash and American crap.
There's a new show about Australian and European women that move to the US to marry American violent prisoners and most of them speak with American accents.
One Australian girl left her husband and her child to move to America to marry a guy from Ohio that spent 23 of the last 25 years in prison. He was only out for less than 3 months before he was sent back to prison.
>Why doesn't Australia have a film industry?
hollywood sucks all the oxygen out of the room. tf are you going to do as a talented writer or actor in australia? frick around making low-budget shit in the outback? no, you're going to move to LA where all the money and opportunities are located.

News did a segment on the next Liam Neeson movie and how it's being filmed down in cucktoria even though it's set in Nepal and they got the directors or something up to say "we're only here for the tax offset" kek
Official policy is 400,000 students a year and they can stay for at least 8 years doing whatever the frick they want if they get a degree. More than that will come in though
Even South Africa has a better film industry than Prison Island. Worst of the British Dominions. Hong Kong and New Zealand and Canada are all better too. Heck even Scotland. Probably on par with Jamaica.
Australia has many a-b list stars in mainstream movies, now more than ever. I assume it also does have excellent directors/writers whose creativity is being stifled by mediocre DEI nonsense.
Because it's a cliquey gated club and unless you tick all the boxes and lick all the taints - which also ensures you can't actually produce anything good - you won't get a Guernsey.
Nothing can compete with the American juggernaut. A lot of young people take American aesthetics as the standard now to compare everything else to. There are still good Australian films, they're just rarely on the scale of an American blockbuster and get overlooked.
Aus films that get a lot media attention always seem to focus on Australian stereotypes or the aesthetics of rural Australia. Something tied into the tourism board probably.
Inability to access large amounts of funding.
The Australian film industry relies on state funding (Screen Australia etc..) and they get hamstrung by the things you mention, diversity box ticking, "Australiana" bullshit like every Australian film always has a fricking Kookaburra sound effect in it GUARANTEED.
And of course aborigines can not be portrayed in a villainous light or in their true nature.
Add to that an artistic scene maybe more pozzed than Hollywood and we haven't made a decent film in over 25 years.
too hot
too busy getting fricked up the ass by their government and emu's, c**t
It does. It just fricking sucks.
Most Australians have bad/pedestrian taste
>t. australian
This
Also this
wdym we make pure kino
Government interference.
Why do you make these threads across Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile?
anyone who has wealthy enough parents to attempt to make acting a career moves to LA
Australian media was decent in the 80s and 90s. Now it is just reality tv trash and American crap.
Australian culture is fricking dead. It really is.
>walk into local milk bar
>say g'day to the man behind the counter

rip australia 1901-2007

What’s the Australian version of the council on foreign relations called?
The Order of Fair Dinkum

No one with a functioning brain thinks that.

Pretty much this. Daisy Ridley is in my small shitty coastal town that nobody has heard of filming a movie at the moment.
This is the most recent Australian flick I watched
Their movies have a really bad influence on people. I fricking hate these loud c**ts.
Government interference in every industry is borderline criminal here.
It had early Mel Gibson
Doesn't get much better than that
I can't really remember any interesting media that came out of this country in the last decade.
It was destroyed by the rise of Hollywood.
See also: the British film industry, the Canadian film industry.
because the actors leave for America where they get paid as 1/3 as much as locals to do terrible accents in network TV shows
You c**ts have gotta stop copying threads from Cinemaphile
aussiebros....is it true you have as bad of a pajeet problem as the canucks?
It's an issue all across the Commonwealth
Not yet, but will very soon. They are flooding this country with shitskins. A million will come this year, easy.
I have no hope for the future of this place. It's over.
how do we remove the jeets? pls help they fricking stink and have no common courtesy

according to wikipedia:
>57% european
>34% Oceanian
oceania includes australia
A lot of white Australians mark their ancestry as Australian not European, so the real white percentage is closer to around 75%.

Australian film of 70's 80's was pure kino
>friday night
Why are you here?
no one there is literate, and you have to be able to read a script to do anything in film
Even South Africa has a better film industry than Prison Island. Worst of the British Dominions. Hong Kong and New Zealand and Canada are all better too. Heck even Scotland. Probably on par with Jamaica.
The future is australian anime
The Australian film industry is where my wife got her start. They are mostly British/Sky tier series.
Australia has many a-b list stars in mainstream movies, now more than ever. I assume it also does have excellent directors/writers whose creativity is being stifled by mediocre DEI nonsense.
They created Bad Boy Bubby then realized that was all they ever needed
>muh government
Silly excuse. And there has been major blockbusters in recent years that are Australian anyway, like Mad Max Fury Road and Elvis.
