Ana Kokkinos is an Australian screenwriter, producer and director who has worked in film and television for almost thirty years. Best known for her fictional films – Antamosi, Only the Brave, Head On, The Book of Revelation and Blessed – her work is often bold and confrontational in its exploration of the alienation, estrangement and visceral distresses of those outside the mainstream.
In the first major study of the director, Ana Kokkinos: An Oeuvre of Outsiders offers new readings of and across her fictional oeuvre by broadly tracing the deployment of the outsider as an organising motif.
Kelly McWilliam is Senior Lecturer in Communication and Media Studies at the University of Southern Queensland. Her current research focuses on contemporary screen media with emphases in Australian, queer and genre cinemas, as well as screen media impact more broadly. Her previous books including contributing to Jane Stadler’s Screen Media: Analysing Film and Television (2009) and co-editing Story Circle: Digital Storytelling Around the World (2009) with John Hartley. She is the Immediate Past President of the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia.
