  • Fabulous! the Story of Queer Cinema
    The Independent Film Channel Presents: An Orchard Films Production Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema Directed and Produced by Lisa Ades & Lesli Klainberg PUBLICITY AND ARTWORK, PLEASE CONTACT: Sophie Evans Manager, Consumer PR Kristen Andersen – PR Coordinator T: (917) 542-6336 T: (917) 542-6339 E: [email protected] E: [email protected] Synopsis: Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema explores the emergence of gay and lesbian films from the beginning of the gay rights movement in the 1960s to the “New Queer Cinema” of the 90s, the proliferation and influence of gay and lesbian films festivals, the discovery by the film business of the gay market; the explosion of gay images in the mainstream media and the current phenomenon of all things gay. The story of gay and lesbian cinema is closely related to the world surrounding it, and the use of popular culture is a backdrop against which the film examines important cultural, political and social moments- and movements that intersect with gay life. “Sex on the screen means something different for gay and lesbian audiences than for straight audiences because we’ve never been allowed to see it. If bodies that we can’t imagine being together are together, if women are rolling around in bed, if men are doing something more in the locker room than just simply taking a shower…all of these groundbreaking scenes of explicit sexuality have a meaning and a power that go beyond similar scenes for heterosexuals. It has to be there for audiences because for so long we were told ‘Oh no, they aren’t really gay because we have no proof that they ever did that’ there’s a sense that’s like – show me the money!” - B.

The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • Myth and Patriarchy in Deepa Mehta's Heaven on Earth
    223 Manjeet Roden: Deepa Mehta Myth and Patriarchy in Deepa Mehta’s Heaven on Earth Manjeet Ridon University of Nottingham _______________________________________________________________ This article analyses how Heaven on Earth (2008) uses Indian mythology to expose the reality of culturally driven violence against Sikh Punjabi women in Canada, occurring as a result of transnational marriages between diaspora-based Non-Resident Indian (hereafter NRI) men and Sikh Punjabi women. Referring to Bruce Lincoln’s theory of myth as ideology, I argue that the film explores how some of these women have experienced marginalisation and how a discourse of abuse can be challenged through myth. _____________________________________________________________ My analysis of Deepa Mehta’s Heaven on Earth (2008) focuses on the fictional depiction of a poor, working-class, first-generation Indian family, living in Brampton, Ontario, which provides a microcosm of the pressures and realities of everyday immigrant life affecting the family from within. The text represents the ancient Indian myth of the Sheesh Naag, the King Cobra, with the ability to shape-shift and transform into human form, to raise awareness about the issue of culturally driven violence against women in South Asian Canadian communities, which is on the increase in Canada’s immigrant communities (Papp) and, along with the incidence of gang rape,1 an even more alarming trend in India (Lakhani). Mehta’s interpretation of the myth is based on Naga-Mandala (1994), a popular play by Girish Karnad, a South Indian dramatist heavily influenced by ancient Indian mythology. Karnad’s play is a story about the mythical figure of a cobra, which, in human form, rescues a lonely bride from an abusive husband and empowers her through storytelling.

  • The Evolution of the Film and Photography Industries
    Join us for a fascinating panel discussion that traces the trajectory and evolution of the Film and Photography Industries For Immediate Release Avid Learning presents The Changing Face of the Image: The Evolution of the Film and Photography Industries – a live session on how the image making industries of film and photography have changed and evolved – over the years – with the advent of newer technologies and the emergence of fresh artistic perspectives, philosophies and concepts. Award-winning Photographer and Installation Artist Samar Singh Jodha, Award-winning Filmmaker and Photographer Sooni Taraporevala and Oscar-nominated and Two-time National Award-winning Filmmaker Ashvin Kumar will be in conversation with Media Expert and ex-head of the SCM (Social Communications Media) Post-Graduate Course at Sophia Polytechnic Jeroo Mulla. Please read on for more details: Photography and film are two genres that share many synergies and which have both had an interesting history, first being connected to science and the various iterations and adaptations of light, then struggling to be recognized as fine art, and now, with the digital age, the concept of what these two fields entail is constantly changing as are the practitioners themselves. Our cell phones are now packing image making tools that surpass the technology of most digital cameras from fifteen years ago. The shift from analogue to digital photography has elicited diverse reactions from media scholars. While some have written the obituary of photography as the dominant visual medium of the modern world, other scholars see digitisation as merely a means for the continuation or enhancement of this dominant medium.
