Modernity, Landscape and the Technological Uncanny in Lake Mungo (2008) (original) (raw)

Cinema at the End of the World, South of the West: Southern Screens Research Network, Monash University , 2015

Abstract

My paper will explore how the Australian film Lake Mungo (2008) represents sacred space as well as the way it ties technology to the depiction of Australian landscape. My paper will unpack the way the film disclosures trauma, grief and death through the use of technological communication devices, such as mobile phones. It will also explore how the film uses natural landscape in a way that is unique in the history of Australian cinema, suggesting shifts in the cultural imaginary of Australian space.
