Structured CREDITS 5 around a living-room conversation between writers Mona Oikawa and Leleti Tamu, contrasts and convergences between Japanese Canadian and Black communities are shared, and more particularly, lesbian community affiliations emerge through the evocation of the literatures (Audre Lord, Makeda Silvera), artworks (Grace Channer, Sharon Fernandez, Stephanie Martin) and music of women of colour (Ahdri Zhina Mandiela) that are woven through this short eight-minute film. Notwithstanding the pressures of such an auspicious career launch and moniker, what emerges from Mohabeer’s broader reflections is her desire for her films to be considered for their poetics, their experimental aural and visual strategies—what she has described as a “hybrid-pastiche blurring of experimental documentary and narrative forms” (Cooper 45). Indeed, in Mohabeer’s films, form and content are inextricable one from the other.

    Celebrate 15! CaribbeanTales International Film Festival Screens Award-Winning, Critically Acclaimed Feature Generation Lockdown Nine Nights of 30 Short and Feature Films Live Streamed on CaribbeanTales-TV For Immediate Release: (Toronto,ON) – Told through the eyes of an 11-year-old American boy, Generation Lockdown will have audiences rivetted on the second night of the CaribbeanTales International Film Festival (CTFF). “Truth to Power” Night takes place on Wednesday September 16th on the CaribbeanTales-TV (CT-TV) platform starting at 7:00pm EST. Directed by Sirad Balducci, this film sheds light on the gun epidemic in the United States and the effect it has on young children. Written by 11-year-old Caleb Brown, his story starts off as an average day that quickly turns into him trying to save his best friend’s life during a “Code Red Live Shooter Lockdown.” The Short Films for the night are: Life and Death (Sonja Dumas), Fear (Yoram Savion), K.I.N.G. (Rashad Frett) and Flight (Kia Moses) “We are very excited to screen Generation Lockdown. This is the Canadian Premiere. It has won several awards, including Best Social Awareness and Best Actor,” said Diana Webley, CTFF Festival Director. “The truth in this film is raw and the power is what emerges to encourage change after audiences watch what life has become for today’s children.” On September 23rd, “Love Regardless” (LGBTQ+ Night) heralds in Queer Coolie- tudes, an ethnographic documentary that examines the slur “coolie” through a powerful collection of testimonies. Directed by Michelle Mohabeer, this film embraces the complexities of Creole (mixed-race) identities, gender/genderqueer identity, age, and mobility which are portrayed in nuanced ways.

In what ways is this process inflected by race, ethnicity, class, and national identity? This course will investigate the crucial role of normative and “deviant” genders and sexualities in the history of cinema production, distribution, and reception. We will investigate the way audiovisual texts use formal means to make gender visible and the display of gender difference pleasurable. We will also consider the gendered politics of labor in film industries and the ways that genre systems (like the romantic comedy) produce gendered meanings and forms of address. The course will also investigate the ways that feminist, Indigenous, transgender, and queer filmmakers have inventively rethought cinema and video for poetic and political ends. Learning Outcomes By the end of this term, students will be able to: Give a nuanced account of gender and sexuality that takes into account historically- and geographically-specific meanings and a wide array of gender expressions and identities. Notice the narrative and formal elements of an audiovisual text (e.g.

LIX 1 THE CAS NEWSLETTER CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SLAVISTS • ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES SLAVISTES ISSN 0381-6133 NO. 114 FALL-SPRING 2016-2017 VOL. LIX Address by Dr. Alison Rowley, President of the Canadian Association of Slavists Dear Colleagues, Members and Friends of the Canadian Association of Slavists, In early June 1997, I attended my first CAS conference at Memorial University in Newfoundland. The young woman I was then could never have envisioned that one day I would be asked to write the opening piece for the CAS newsletter, and to give the President’s speech at our organization’s AGM. She was just happy to make a few new friends and to try out her ideas about how Kandinsky’s colour theory may have influenced Soviet writer Yuri Olesha as he wrote his important novel, Envy. But that moment in Newfoundland was a pivotal one in my career as a scholar and I think the stories I shall briefly mention below are indicative of the ways in which CAS has influenced the lives of many of us. For example, at the Memorial conference, I met Dr. Gust Olson, a long-standing book review editor for Canadian Slavonic Papers/Revue canadienne des slavistes, at a panel on Russian women writers and he asked if I would be interested in reviewing a translation of Evdokia Nagrodskaia’s Wrath of Dionysus for the journal. That review was my very first publication. I have gone on to write many more reviews for our journal and even to serve as a book review editor for a number of years under the direction of CSP’s current outstanding editor- in-chief Dr.

  • John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948
    John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948 by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer 2019 John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape Erin Elizabeth Scheffer Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores John Weinzweig’s incidental music for radio and film and its context in Canadian cultural life. Between 1941 and 1948, Weinzweig composed music for nearly one hundred CBC radio docudrama episodes and for four National Film Board documentaries. Weinzweig’s time at the CBC and NFB was his first large scale success as a working composer, following his graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music. Weinzweig’s incidental music was publicly broadcast across Canada, and can be interpreted in light of how it represents Canada during an anxious and difficult yet significant time in the nation’s history through the Second World War and the immediate post-war era. These works, featuring new music broadcast by organizations in their infancy, helped to shape audience perceptions of a rapidly changing country. I begin by situating Weinzweig’s documentary music both temporally and philosophically. The opening chapter explores his biography, the musical context of the 1940s in Canada, and the creation of the CBC and NFB, and it closes by discussing significant themes in the works: indigeneity, northernness, dominion over the landscape, and nation and national affect. The subsequent three chapters divide Weinzweig’s docudramas and documentaries by topic: World War Two propaganda and postwar reconstruction, Canada’s north, and finally a discussion of Weinzweig’s only radio drama The Great Flood , which premiered on CBC’s ii cultural program Wednesday Night in 1948.
