  • Engendering ASEAN Identity: the Role of Film*
    ERIA-DP-2015-75 ERIA Discussion Paper Series Engendering ASEAN Identity: The Role of Film* Jose Miguel R. de la ROSA Communication and Social Marketing Expert, Philippines November 2015 Abstract: The role of film, which is used here in generic terms to include audiovisual images as well as animation, in engendering the much-sought after Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) identity is a necessary ingredient in the general framework of development leading to the realisation of the ASEAN Community. Film is an economic tool as it brings unquantifiable benefits to sectors participating in the industry. It is an effective information mechanism translating messages in more meaningful ways that appeal to the emotions. Film mirrors the cultural lives of people and reflects their heritage, values, and traditions. With the advancement in technology, film now comes in different platforms and formats, and is not confined to cinema or theatre. It becomes accessible through personal gadgets, the Internet, television (TV), cable TV, and digital versatile discs (DVDs). Thus, the reach and influence of films are vital in the people-oriented and people- centred agenda of an identity search and ensure that stakeholders down to the community level in all ASEAN member states (AMS) benefit from this approach. The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Blueprint clearly identifies the goals and strategies that AMS should support through the multilevel mechanisms in the Committee on Culture and Information (COCI), the Senior Officials Meeting Responsible for Information (SOMRI), and the ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI). This set of goals and strategies can be facilitated and implemented by collectively engaging government agencies in charge of film development in the AMS under the management of a technical expert group for this area and referred to as FILM ASEAN.

  • Film Package
    3TKARMA www.tina3t.com FEATURE FILM In pre-production and will be shooting on location in Vietnam and Canada. Feature Film Synopsis 3TKarma tells the miraculous story of Tina Tran, a strong-willed Vietnamese immigrant to Toronto with a hard past. It is a portrayal of her struggles and successes as she tries to support her family and live righteously in a new country. Being raised in a family with a Buddhist & spiritual background, her soul is known to be the same as Snow White, not the Disney masterpiece, but an ancient Vietnamese commander from the past. It is also believed that her late brother, who died when he and Tina were children back in Vietnam, had also been her one and only soul mate. Being lost without his spiritual guidance, Tina finds herself entangled in the fast life of sex, drugs, and To- ronto’s underground rave culture. Soon finding herself as a high roller in the nightlife scene, she is pushed to a point at which she knows she is in over her head. Through the effects of law enforcement and violence, her organi- zation starts to crumble until it is she who is in legal trouble. Tina’s arrest led her to discover her love 3TKarma through a Vietnamese lawyer, Anthony. With the help of Tina’s sister, Minh, Anthony is realized to be the carrier of her long lost soul mate’s spirit. However, the disparity be- tween the spiritual world and the physical reality we know brings upon peri- ods of denial and conflict that occur within the family.

    Gender and the Nation in Popular Cambodian Heritage Cinema A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES MAY 2014 by: Jessica Austin Thesis Committee: Miriam Sharma, Chairperson Barbara Watson-Andaya Jonathan Padwe Jonna Eagle Keywords: Cambodia, Cinema, Gender, Nation, Popular Culture, Sihanouk ii Dedicated to: My families, both near and far. iii Acknowledgements In researching this project for two years, I have been incredibly fortunate to receive the help, guidance, and friendship of a vast network of people living and working in Cambodia, Hawai'i, and the United States. None of this would have been possible without the support of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa, and generous grants from the Moscotti Foundation. I am also indebted to Severine Wemaerae, Gilles Duval, Rithy Panh, and Davy Chou for allowing me to naively interrupt many proceedings of the Memory! International Film Heritage Festival 1st Edition so that I could dive head first into the world of film archives, preservation, and filmmaking in Cambodia. The employees of the Bophana Audio-Visual Archive in Phnom Penh were extremely patient with me while I watched films and asked them incessant questions about film heritage, for which I am so very grateful. The youth organizations I worked with, Kon Khmer Koun Khmer and Preah Soriya student group at RUPP, were extremely generous with their time, and I extend my gratitude to all of the members of those groups.

  • Baahubali –A Milestone of Indian Cinema: Digital Marketing Case Study
    Baahubali –A Milestone of Indian Cinema: Digital Marketing Case Study Sakshi Kotecha Namrata A Patil Giri Y. L SandipRakshit Sanjay Ghodawat Institute ([email protected]) ([email protected]) ISBN: 978-1-943295-08-1 ([email protected]) ([email protected]) Baahubali, advertised as the most expensive film that the country has ever produced. That it has clocked in 300crores ($48 million) worldwide in barely nine days at the box office. What’s more interesting, apart from the film itself, is that to achieve this feat without going overboard with aggressive marketing campaigns – yeah, no shoving down of paid-and-planted news down our throats, no nauseatingly incessant promotional tours by the cast on every other channel. What the makers did leverage, however, is the power of social media — not just around the release but also before it even went on floors. The result – Much like the meaning of its title – Baahubali – one with strong arms, the film created an organic hype, riding on its own shoulders. Thus, Baahubali is a great example of the power of digital marketing. For almost more than two years, the question ‘Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?’ became a household topic of conversation and flooded social media with mimes and fan theories. Interestingly, two years before the release of the first part, a digital marketing team worked tirelessly to build its online presence and generate interest around the film since 2013. It went on to create the first Telugu hash tag on Twitter. Today, Baahubali has over 36 lakh likes on the Facebook page, 2.54 lakh followers on Twitter, 4.52 lakh subscribers on YouTube and still increasing day by day.

  • Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity During Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970
    Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair Professor Kerwin Klein Professor Penelope Edwards Summer 2019 Abstract Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair This dissertation examines novels, essays, films and songs of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum period, 1955-1970, to explore the layers of meanings Cambodians held of Phnom Penh. After the Geneva Accords in 1954, Phnom Penh emerged as the capital city of a newly independent nation-state, the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city under French colonial rule was secondary to Hanoi and Saigon, but once Indochina dissolved, its population exponentially increased. Phnom Penh was at the center of Cambodia’s road networks, its banking system, and was home to the best universities and schools. The many jobs and opportunities attracted rural migrants to the city. The population boom was one of the many ways Phnom Penh transformed. Norodom Sihanouk, then the head of state, made Phnom Penh the epicenter of government modernization projects. Under his watch, the capital transformed from being a marshy, provincial hub into an exciting scene of cosmopolitan innovation. Urban Cambodians combined ideas from Le Corbusier with traditional Khmer architectural details to design their “modern” buildings.

  • Thai Cinema As National Cinema
    Thai Cinema as National Cinema: An Evaluative History Patsorn Sungsri This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary educational institution ……………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation considers Thai cinema as a national text. It portrays and analyses Thai film from the introduction of cinema to Thailand during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910) up until the present day (2004). At its core, this thesis adopts the ideas of Higson, O’Regan and Dissanayake in considering the cultural negotiation of cinema and the construction of nation. In this study of Thai National Cinema two principal methods are employed—economic and text-based. In terms of political economy Thai National Cinema is explored through the historical development of the local film industry, the impact of imported cinema, taxation, censorship and government policy, and the interplay between vertically and horizontally integrated media businesses. Special attention is paid to the evolving and dynamic role of the ruling class in the local film industry. The dissertation’s text-based analyses concern the social and ideological contexts of these national productions in order to consider extant characteristics of Thai nationhood and how these are either reflected or problematised in Thai Cinema. Of particular relevance is this dissertation’s emphasis on three resilient and potent signifiers of Thai identity—nation, religion, and monarchy—and their interrelationship and influence in the development of Thai National Cinema.

  • KON. the Cinema of Cambodia
    Preface The editorial team in front of DMC building / Neang Eric on”, the title of this magazine, means “film” in Khmer. In this magazine, we want to talk both about the past and the present of Khmer film. The Cambodian film industry so far has not recovered from K the historic catastrophe of the Khmer Rouge reign of terror from 1975 to 1979.
