Beyond technical: Research into cinematography as art
More than just a category at the Academy Awards, cinematography as an art form is rich for research exploration according to a University of Southern Queensland filmmaking expert.
Dr Daniel Maddock, an award-winning cinematographer and academic, has stressed the significance of the field and has helped spearhead a new journal dedicated to its study.
Cinematography in Progress is an open access online journal published from Belgium with the support of the Free University of Brussels and the International Federation of Cinematographers (IMAGO).
Dr Maddock is the journal’s Australian representative and recently wrote the editorial feature for its first issue, Reaching Out.

Recognising and sharing military service stories
Memories or objects of war and military service are often shared between family members as an opportunity to reflect and remember.
University of Southern Queensland researchers are working on bringing these kitchen table discussions to the broader community to honour the service and sacrifice of Australian service personnel.
As part of a Department of Veterans Affairs ‘Saluting their Service’ Community Grant, Associate Professor Martin Kerby, Professor Margaret Baguley, Dr Daniel Maddock, Richard Gehrmann and Dr Alison Bedford are investigating Australian military history with a focus on how it’s represented in local communities through artefacts, monuments, memorials, letters and diaries.
