The Lonely Spirits and the King: An Australian Film Book Kickstarter campaign is now live!

We are delighted to announce the arrival of our newest book, Lonely Spirits and the King: An Australian Film Book, which has just been launched on Kickstarter.

To support this massive 700-page journey through contemporary Australian cinema, head over to Kickstarter here and secure your own copy. Or buy one for the movie-loving fan in your life.

Award-winning critic Andrew F. Peirce takes you on an unforgettable journey through the vibrant landscape of contemporary Australian film. From heart-pounding horror to intimate documentaries, epic historical dramas to laugh-inducing comedies, check out over 50 films that capture the resilient creativity of Australian filmmakers in the early 2020s.

The book features over 70 Australian filmmakers, including visionaries Plato Theodoris, Saliana Seven Campbell and Alex Proyas, and Australian filmmakers including Natalie Miller AO, Al Kosar and Matthew Eales. We dig deep through in-depth interviews with film distributors and curators, as well as insightful reviews. Into the heart of Australian film production. Explore the creative processes that shape the Australian films and festivals we love.

What does it mean to be an Australian filmmaker today? What stories are told that led to the success of “The King,” and how do they shape our cultural identity? “The Lonely Spirit and the King” explores these questions and more. We seek to answer your questions and provide a unique and insightful perspective on the ever-evolving world of Australian film.

This is the second Kickstarter campaign following the successful Kickstarter for Australian Film Yearbook. If you’re looking for a Christmas gift for yourself or a fellow Australian film fan, Lonely Spirits and Kings will arrive in plenty of time, as we’ll be packing and shipping the book by mid-November. We hope you will support our campaign to bring Lonely Spirits and Kings: The Book of Australian Cinema to life.
