Melanie Hogan (born 8 July 1977) is an award winning film director and producer, known for her works in Australian documentary cinema. Hogan became first known with her directorial debut ''Kanyini'' which premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in 2006. The film came out of Hogan’s personal realization that she had not learnt anything about the history of her country, Australia, from an Aboriginal perspective despite studying in Australian Institutions right through to tertiary level. She also lamented the fact that she did not know anything about the world's oldest living culture. ==Overview== Since 2004 Melanie has made groundbreaking documentaries in remote Aboriginal communities exposing often challenging stories at the highest level. Her first documentary ''Kanyini'' (2006) was distributed in cinemas in Australia by Hopscotch Films. It won the 2006 Discovery Channel Inside Film Best Documentary Award, the Independent Spirit Inside Film Award and the Best Documentary Award at the London Australian Film Festival (2007). Melanie's other documentary films ''Yajilarra'' (2008) and ''Tristan'' (2011) both premiered at the United Nations in New York and at Government House with Australia's Governor General, Quentin Bryce as host. ''Yajilarra'' received a standing ovation at the UN and stimulated much discussion. In 2009-2012 Melanie directed, produced, wrote and edited an online project for the Australian Federal Government called the Stolen Generations Testimonies. The site's purpose is to assist the nation to heal from one of its most horrendous chapters. Further testimonies will be recorded in 2014/15. Melanie is currently working on another documentary set in the remote communities of the Kimberley and writing her first feature film. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melanie Hogan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
