Mia’s Optiscope is the story of a girl with a big heart and bigger imagination, a story of morality, fantasy, adventure and quest to discover the parallel world of Nilimbia. Newly arrived in the bustling suburb of Kingsford, in Sydney’s east, Mia feels lonely, missing her friends. Walking to school up Meeks Mountain, she makes a new friend and finds herself the Keeper of the Optiscope. Before she can learn its true purpose her mysterious friend is gone, leaving few clues about the Optiscope’s powers. With her grandad’s help, Mia uncovers its secrets and the Dream Team embark on adventures to Nilimbia, an awesome world of Dream Weavers and endless magic, where a little imagination and hope makes the impossible possible.

Mia and her Grandfather return to the parallel world of Nilimbia to a curious welcome by their hybrid guides. As they tour the realm they are rewarded with glimpses of grandness, moments of magic, and flashes of colourful history between Nilimbia and the Land Down Under. When Mia creates a dream to save an endangered species she is appointed Dream Weaver. The acts of a few change everything though, and a mission to prove her skills forces Mia to make some difficult decisions. Can Mia follow her heart and imagination to unite the magic of Nilimbia and bring humans and hybrids together?

A beautifully illustrated, heart-warming story every child will be able to relate to, about the creative ways we found to connect and spread joy when we all had to stay apart.

When the Summer Fair comes to Brook Meadow, there is confusion and upset amongst the animals. Does the day end well?

While moving image advertising has been around us, everywhere, for at least a century, the topic has tended to be overlooked by cinema studies. This far-reaching new collection makes an incisive contribution to a new field of study, by exploring the history, theory and practice of moving image advertising, and emphasising the dynamic and lasting relationships between print, film, broadcasting and advertising cultures.In chapters written by an international ensemble of leading scholars and archivists, the book covers a variety of materials from pre-show advertising films to lantern slides and sponsored 'educations'. With case studies of advertising campaigns and archival collections from a range of different countries, and giving consideration to the problems that advertising materials pose for preservation and presentation, this rich and expansive text testifies to the need for a new approach to this burgeoning subject that looks beyond the mere study of promotional film.
