'An essential and long overdue companion for anyone interested in Australian cinema. In years to come Second Take will be valuable documentation of one of the most exciting periods in world cinema. I wish someone had done a book like this when I was first starting out as a film-maker.' Bill Bennett 'Film-making is like building a mosaic. The thoughts behind how those myriad of pieces are put together---the choices, accidents and inspirations-can often be as absorbing as the finished film.' Gillian Armstrong Australian cinema has been in resurgence over the past two decades, hitting the front pages and winning awards worldwide. Not surprisingly, there has been a substantial amount of writing about this increase in the popularity of Australian film, and about the development of an Australian aesthetic. However, there have been no forums for informed alternative voices, especially those which sustain the film industry's existence---the 'voice' of the film-maker. Second Take gives the film-makers a voice, and allows them to engage with the issues and concerns usually raised by journalists and critics. Including contributions about the many and varied processes of making both feature films and documentaries, Second Take encourages experimental and creative forms of writing from established film-makers---writing that dares to be unguarded, eclectic, heartfelt, and as imaginative as it is knowledgeable. Contributors include Gillian Armstrong, Bill Bennett, Bruce Beresford, Jane Campion, Richard Combs, John Duigan, Richard Franklin, Scott Hicks, Philip Kemp, Richard Lowenstein, George Miller, Chris Noonan, Mike Rubbo, Martin Scorsese and Tom Zubrycki.
