"Dutch Tilt, Aussie Auteur: The Films of Rolf de Heer" is an auteur analysis of the twelve feature films directed (mostly written and produced) by Holland-born Australian Rolf de Heer. From the children's story about the restoration of a Tiger Moth biplane, "Tail of a Tiger" (1984), to his breakout cult sensation "Bad Boy Bubby" (1993) which "tore Venice apart," to the first Aboriginal Australian language film "Ten Canoes" (2006) which scooped the pool at the AFI awards and won the Special Jury prize at Cannes Film Festival, de Heer has been consistently unpredictable. However, Starrs' close study of his work suggests that Australia's most innovative and respected Arthouse film-maker has a signature pre-occupation with giving a voice to marginalized, non-hyper-masculine protagonists. Demonstrating a propensity to write and direct in a European-like style, de Heer's "Dutch tilt" is very much non-mainstream Hollywood, but is nevertheless representative of a typically Australian world-view. "ENGAGINGLY WRITTEN AND PERCEPTIVE ... A BLEND OF SYMPATHETIC APPRECIATION AND INFORMED CRITICISM" - Professor Greg Battye, the University of Canberra, Australia.
