Chasing the Runaways

Foreign film production and film studio development
By Nick Herd

Australia is proud of its film industry. Government has invested millions. Our stars win Oscars. Are we receiving the benefits of our investment? Is our industry thriving? Or is it swamped by foreign ‘runaway’ productions from other people’s film industries? Who controls the films we make? Nick Herd examines the controversies surrounding our film studios, the forces of globalisation and the tensions between the cultural and industry imperatives.
