'Queensland’s role as a location for film productions, a setting for film narratives, and a locus for local, national, and cinematic identities is the theme of Allison Craven’s Finding Queensland in Australian Cinema: Poetics and Screen Geographies. Craven’s work ‘pose[s] the idea of region as a source of cinematic identity, and … examine[s] how location affects a film’s meaning’ . Using films made and/or set in Queensland as her primary texts, Craven advocates for progressing from a generalised vision of Australia on film towards a vision that foregrounds regional space and identity. In doing so, she considers how these Queensland-based productions contribute to national identity in these transnational times, as well as how Queensland figures into representations of Australia within the broader context of film as a dominant commercial art form and global storytelling practice.'
