1 RAN : Remote Area Nurse: SBS Protocols, Grassroots Collaboration and the Quality Miniseries Jane Landman , 2013 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , October vol. 7 no. 2-3 2013; (p. 201-213) 'RAN: Remote Area Nurse is a six-part mini-series first broadcast on the Australian Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) in 2006. Described by co-producer Penny Chapman as ‘the first screen fiction set in Torres Strait islander [sic] culture’, the series is loosely based on the work of the health centre on Masig, a tiny island in the central group of Torres Strait Islands. This article traces the working modes of the largely non-Islander production team, as they followed the guidelines and strategies laid out in SBS’s ‘The Greater Perspective: Protocol for the Production of Film and Television on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities’ (1997). In light of interplay between protocol and the production team, the article explores how a modally conventional mini-series nevertheless successfully made space for Islander collaboration, and attracted online engagement and approval from both Torres Strait Islanders and others.'

1 Decolonizing Settler-Colonial and Pacific Screens Felicity Collins , Jane Landman , 2013 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , October vol. 7 no. 2-3 2013; (p. 95-100)

'While postcolonial critique has been a remarkably fertile field within the humanities, the concept of the postcolonial has been problematic when applied to the peculiar situation of settler-colonial nations. In such nations, the colonial period has been largely relegated to the past. Yet, unresolved issues of treaty, sovereignty, native title and reparation for discriminatory policies such as child removal provide clear evidence that the nation states that replaced colonial regimes have yet to be decolonized.'

1 Borders of the National Family in King of the Coral Sea Jane Landman , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , vol. 3 no. 1 2009; (p. 61-73)

'This article examines the genial 1950s matinee-styled adventure, King of the Coral Sea, a film set on Thursday Island. With Chips Rafferty playing pearling lugger captain Ted King, the film extends Rafferty's previous iconic national repertoire of digger, drover and bushman in an unprecedented (in entertainment cinema) imaginative 'nationalization' of the Torres Strait. The article proposes that the narrative - concerning the protection of the nation's daughters and borders from the threat of shadowy European illegal migration - can be read as a fantastic reversal of power relations in the post-war Pacific, where Australian multiracial enterprise is ably supported by American muscle. It locates the production and reception of the film within the discursive habitat of popular illustrated magazines, focusing on the visual deployment of race and gender in respect to assimilationist anxieties that form part of the imagining of a modern 'Australian way of life'. It further considers how this discourse shapes the deployment of the Torres Strait in a diegetic and extradiegetic relay, in order to imagine an established nationhood for Australia.'
1 2 y separately published work icon The Tread of a White Man's Foot : Australian Pacific Colonialism and the Cinema, 1925-62 Jane Landman , Canberra : Pandanus Books , 2006 Z1407087 2006 single work criticism 'This book explores Australia's cinematic engagement with the Torres Strait, Papua and New Guinea in the light of Australia's colonial project within these territories from 1925-1962. It is concerned with the part played by the cinema in imaging Australia's emerging colonial nationhood...as well as the ways in which colonial attitudes and anxieties played out in the regulation and censorship of cinema in the nation and its territories.' - from author's Preface (p. ix)
