	OZ CINEMA.com : Articles : Australian vs New Zealand Film
		In nations such as Australia and New Zealand, which (in global terms) are relatively young in terms of cultural and technological development, the creation of an appropriate national myth lies largely in the hands of the cinema.
		Other similarities between New Zealand and Australian cinema are their focus on discovery, exploration and the inter-relationship between the indigenous peoples and the "newcomers." Since both nations have been discovered (by Westerns) in the last 210 years or so, the vast, unconquerable landscape, endless unpredictable roads and clashing cultures emanate throughout both nation's films.
		Many of the recent Australian or New Zealand films convey a sense of the grandeur of the landscape, portraying the white man's attempts to conquer it (and its people) as futile and absurd — often leading to a sense of hopeless isolation or, more common in New Zealand cinema, madness.

	MJA: Rosen et al., From shunned to shining: doctors, madness and psychiatry in Australian and New Zealand cinema
		Cinema's fascination with modern psychiatry has been intense, with the two fields emerging at about the same time -- movies were first demonstrated publicly by the Lumière brothers, Edison and others in 1895, the same year that Freud wrote Project for a scientific psychology, the prototype of his later theories.
		The cinema imputes both genetic and environmental factors in the development of mental illness, consistent with current belief, but tends to emphasise environment.
		The relatively large number and appeal of recent "psychiatric" films from Australia and New Zealand is encouraging, as are the new messages of hope, resilience, rebellion, self-determination and triumph.
