  • MACAU's BRIDGING Role BETWEEN CHINA and LATIN
    Sonia Chan Prado*1 UDC 327(510:8) 327(512.318:8) doi:10.5937/MegRev1901193C Expert article Received 9.4.2018. Approved 21.9.2018. Macau’S Bridging ROle between China and Latin America Since the beginning of the 21st century, sustained and rapid growth in relations between China and the Latin American and Caribbean countries has been witnessed. It is widely believed that a stronger tie with a promising future can be envisaged. Historically, Macau has been a Portuguese trading post in the Far East for over 442 years. After the Handover in 1999, Macau was officially returned to China as a Special Administrative Region. At present, Macau is the “world’s top gaming capital” and a part of the Greater Bay Area of national strategic importance in southern China. By capitalizing on her core strengths and special privileges, Macau can go much further, not only as a gaming and tourism city but also an effective and efficient platform between China and Latin America. Furthermore, with the new mega structure, the vast logistic network and the endorsed Greater Bay Area initiative, Macau can serve as an effective soft-power hub of the nation for helping build an extension of the “Belt and Road” to Latin America in the Pacific Rim. Keywords: Macau, Special Administrative Region of China, Greater Bay Area, Belt and Road, China-Latin America Relations 1. Introduction From the historical point of view, we can presume that contacts between Latin America and Asia have always existed, although mostly commercial ones, having in mind that Spanish and Portuguese empires kept expanding their colonial power and administration in the Philippines and the Pacific Rim.

The deal offered by the specialty division of Universal was reported to be in the ‘seven figure range’ (Fleming 2011). The film’s executive producer Spike Lee, the launch at the hit- making festival and the studio- affiliated distributor put this case study firmly within the realm of commercial- independent cinema that has evolved in the US since the 1980s (see Perkins 2012). Yet Pariah is as oriented toward community as it is toward commerce, and festival buzz is only one dimension of its publicity. Made by first- time director Dee Rees for under US$500,000, Pariah tells the story of a sensitive African American lesbian’s coming of age and to terms with parental and peer expectations in current- day Brooklyn.

  • Middle of Nowhere
    MIDDLE OF NOWHERE Written and Directed by Ava DuVernay WINNER! BEST DIRECTOR AWARD SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2012 PRESS CONTACT: Tilane Jones | AFFRM | 818.995.0050 | [email protected] PRESS QUOTES NEW YORK TIMES January 27, 2012 | "Amazing Child, Typical Grown-Ups" by Manohla Dargis "Further under the radar though far more successful is "Middle of Nowhere," a heartfelt, slow to build, slow to burn drama from Ava DuVernay about a young married woman, Ruby (Emayatzy Corinealdi), keeping body and soul together while her husband, Derek (Omari Hardwick), serves out his sentence in a California prison. Working with the terrific cinematographer Bradford Young, Ms. DuVernay fills her movie with long shots and meticulously framed images of casual beauty that reflect the quietly evolving inner life of her heroine." LOS ANGELES TIMES January 30, 2012 | "Sundance Film Festival: From 'Beasts' to 'Ice,' wonder wins out" by Kenny Turan "…At the other end of the spectrum is "Middle of Nowhere," winner of the U.S. drama directing prize for Ava DuVernay. This is classic filmmaking of a completely different sort…" THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER January 20, 2012 | Review by John DeFore "Strong performances and a restrained script sell drama about a couple separated by prison walls. Solidly crafted by budding writer-director Ava DuVernay, it should find a warm reception at fests and in a niche theatrical run." LOS ANGELES TIMES January 20, 2012 | "Meaty Roles for Black Actors in MIDDLE OF NOWHERE" "It's a real challenge to find African American characters with depth," Oyelowo said at a post-screening Q&A, "But when I read this, it was just like 'Do the Right Thing,' or 'She's Gotta Have It,' the characters just lept off the page...
