[csaa-forum] Jane Campion book launch invitation

[Deb Verhoeven]

Dear all,

You are invited to the launch of

Deb Verhoeven's

Jane Campion
(London and New York: Routledge, 2009)

To be launched by Radio National's Julie Rigg.

The Book
In this detailed account of Jane Campion's career as a filmmaker, Deb 
Verhoeven examines specifically how contemporary film directors 
'fashion' themselves as auteurs - through their personal interactions 
with the media, in their choice of projects, in their emphasis on 
particular filmmaking techniques and finally in the promotion of 
their films.

The Presenter
Julie Rigg began her career as a print journalist working for Sydney 
Daily Telegraph and then as a foundational journalist at The 
Australian. Since l988 Julie has worked as a critic and arts 
broadcaster for ABC Radio National, specialising in film. In l990 she 
won the BP Arts Media Award. In 2003, she was awarded the prestigious 
Geraldine Pascall prize for critical writing. Julie's skills as a 
movie reviewer, her interviews, and her passionate advocacy of film 
criticism were cited as the reasons for her being an obvious choice. 
She served on the executive of the Film Critics Circle of Australia 
for four years, and was president for two. Julie has also served on 
FIPRESCI (International Critics Federation) juries at the San 
Sebastian Film Festival (l990) and the Toronto International Film 
festival (2002). She currently presents MovieTime and her film 
reviews and interviews also appear once a month on Radio National's 
The Deep End (weekdays at 3pm).
