The trailblazing McDonagh sisters were the first women in Australia to form their own film production company. Between 1926 and 1933, this remarkable trio produced four feature films and a number of documentaries. The youngest, Paulette, was one of only five women film directors in the world. Phyllis produced, art directed and conducted publicity. And the eldest, Isabel, under her stage name Marie Lorraine, acted in all the female leads. Together, the sisters transformed Australian cinema's preoccupations with the outback and the bush -- and what they mocked as 'haystack movies' -- into a thrilling, urban modernity. In Those Dashing McDonagh Sisters, Mandy Sayer reveals the sisters' remarkable story, from daughters of a respected Sydney surgeon with a love of theatre and the arts, to their first feature film, Those Who Love (1926), an instant hit, to their controversial final film, Two Minutes Silence (1933). Today, their most famous feature, The Cheaters, is frequently screened at international film festivals around the world. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Award-winning novelist and non-fiction author Mandy Sayer won the fellowship in 2021 for her biography of Australian silent filmmakers, the McDonagh sisters. It was published in 2022 as Those Dashing McDonagh Sisters: Australia's First Female Filmmaking Team, and was shortlisted this year for the 2023 The Age Book of the Year in the non-fiction category.
As you can see from the cover design by Debra Billson, the publishers have signalled the era of the book with Art Deco motifs, but what you can't see from the cover is the clever internal design by Josephine Pajor-Markus. Chapter headings are in 1920s style Cinematic fonts, and the Table of Contents includes a 'Trailer', 21 Main Features and Extras (i.e. a filmography, a bibliography, notes and acknowledgements.)
