1 The 1927 Royal Commission in Rockhampton: a Window Onto Regional Exhibition Jeannette Delamoir , 2015 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , vol. 9 no. 3 2015; (p. 283-297) 'Of all the Australian states, Queensland had the highest number of exhibitors who gave evidence to the Royal Commission, with 22 out of the national total of 53. In Rockhampton, the three exhibitors who gave evidence represented all five cinemas in the town. These exhibitors spoke from the perspective of different exhibition models: the large chain, the family business and the second-run suburban cinema. With brief comparisons to evidence given in other Queensland towns, this study of the Rockhampton exhibitors' submissions reveals the concerns of regional picture-show operators and the likes and dislikes of regional audiences. While exhibitors found much to complain about in the Americans' large-scale, centralised business practices, there was a surprising degree of acceptance, suggesting that further close exploration of the Royal Commission evidence can reveal much about regional Australia's interactions with local, national and global culture.'
1 Introduction to Re-evaluating the Royal Commission into the Australian Moving Picture Industry, 1927–1928 Jeannette Delamoir , Stephen Gaunson , 2015 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , vol. 9 no. 3 2015; (p. 225-229) 'Welcome to this special issue on ‘Re-evaluating the Royal Commission into the Australian Moving Picture Industry, 1927–1928’. Although nearly 90 years have passed since that Royal Commission, the concerns it addressed remain relevant today: how to protect the local film industry, and how to regulate the dominance of American movies. It is perhaps this reason as to why researchers, scholars, students and teachers keep returning to the Commission as a way to make sense of the complexities that continue to define the Australian cinema industry.'

1 Sweet Dreams : Queensland, Sugar and the 1927 Royal Commission into the Moving Picture Industry Jeannette Delamoir , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , 24 August vol. 5 no. 2 2011; (p. 107-119) 'The impetus for the 1927 Royal Commission into the Moving Picture Industry was the US film companies' 'stranglehold' on the Australian film industry, the effects of which were perceived as undermining both Australian film businesses and Australian national identity. The Commissioners took evidence in seven Queensland towns, some quite small and isolated, with almost all exhibitors from these locations represented. This evidence constructs an in-depth picture of film business and consumption in regional Australia, as well as a social, cultural and economic portrait of the country on the cusp of the Great Depression. This article takes as its starting point the Commissioners' repeated comparison of the film industry and Queensland's sugar industry, and their suggestions that the film industry's problems could be solved by replicating the intervention and support given to the sugar industry by both State and Federal Governments. These references, the article argues, reveal the Commissioners' understanding of the film industry, and conjectures that these conceptualizations may still influence the way Australian films are watched today.'
