Alternative Titles Index
VHD Index - 02 9/29/04 4:43 PM Page 715 Alternative Titles Index While it's true that we couldn't include every Asian cult flick in this slim little vol- ume—heck, there's dozens being dug out of vaults and slapped onto video as you read this—the one you're looking for just might be in here under a title you didn't know about. Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

Us Premiere Beijing Flickers 2012 有种
US PREMIERE BEIJING FLICKERS 2012 有种 OCTOBER 23, 2012 8:30 PM Co-presented by the UCLA Confucius Institute and REDCAT Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater California Institute of the Arts US PREMIERE BEIJING FLICKERS 2012 有种 Tue Oct 23 | 8:30 pm Jack H. Skirball Series Director/Producer: Zhang Yuan. Screenwriter: Zhang Yuan, Kong Ergou, Li Xinyun, Yang Yishu. Cinematographer: Zhang Yuan, Cai Tao. Production Designer: An Bin. Editor: Wu Yixiang. Sound: Zhao Bo. Cast: Duan Bowen, Lv Yulai, Shi Shi, Li Xinyun, Han Wenwen. HDCAM, color, Putonghua with English subtitles, 96 min. With his 13th film,Beijing Flickers, one of the most original and audacious voices of the Sixth Generation/Urban Generation of Chinese filmmakers returns to his inspiration in the 1990s, and artfully mixes documentary and fiction to delve into youth subculture in a society changing at full blast. In the last 20 years, however, disparities between rich and poor have become even starker. And Zhang Yuan is no longer the skinny young man who didn’t have enough to eat. In Beijing Flickers, he makes a cameo appearance as a drunken “big brother” that a penniless young driver has to bring back home - one generation of misfits looking the other in the eye with gentle irony. The film stems from interviews Zhang conducted with hundreds of 20-somethings when he was working on his photography exhibition; the sitters’ stories are the foundation of the screenplay. Dumped by his girlfriend for a rich man, San Bao descends into a self-destructive spiral and meets several other kindred souls: a narcissistic drag queen addicted to cosmetic surgery and poetry; a female singer kicked out by her band because the other musicians hope to win a record contract by hiring someone else; a girl jilted by her corporate boss/lover. -
The Historical Trajectory of Individual Life in Three Films Adapted from Wang Shuo’S Novels
From Youth to Midlife: The Historical Trajectory of Individual Life in Three Films Adapted from Wang Shuo’s Novels By Shuyao Zhou A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Alberta ©Shuyao Zhou, 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis takes three films, Kanshangqu henmei 看上去很美 (Little Red Flowers, d. Zhang Yuan, 2006), Yangguang canlan de rizi 阳光灿烂的日子 (In the Heat of the Sun, d. Jiang Wen, 1994), and Yuanjia fuzi 冤家父子 (Papa, d. Wang Shuo, 1991), all adapted from Wang Shuo’s works of fiction, as cases in which to explore the cinematic representation of individuals’ lives. It deals with three different life stages: childhood, teenage years, and midlife, analyzing some complicated connections between the individual’s daily life and Maoist/Post-Maoist historical discourse. Although much effort by scholars has been put into examining In the Heat of the Sun in isolation, barely any attention has been devoted to the films Little Red Flowers and Papa, and there is no discussion among scholars of these three films in conjunction with one another. This thesis contains a chapter each on Little Red Flowers, In the Heat of the Sun, and Papa, revisiting the particular status of the individual’s life trajectory under different historical circumstances from the 1960s to the 1990s in China, and arguing that there are resonances among these three films. Chapter One gives special attention to the disciplining of young children’s bodies in kindergarten during the 1960s and how the filmmaker in Little Red Flowers disdains the attempt to utilize children’s body for propagandistic display. -

Die Vorbereitungen für das nächste kleine Filmfestival der ungewöhnlichen Art gehen in die heisse Phase. Am 6. und 7. Juni 2009 lockt die Schauburg in Karlsruhe zum “2. Widescreen Week- end”. Thema der nostalgischen Retro- spektive mit filmtechnischem Schwer- punkt ist das “VistaVision”-Filmformat, das in den fünfziger Jahren von Paramount lanciert wurde. Viele große Filmklassiker wurden in diesem Format, dessen Kernstück ein horizontal durch die Kamera laufender 35mm-Negativfilm war, aufgenommen, darunter einige der besten Filme Alfred Hitchcocks. Kein Wunder also, dass Hitchcocks Original VistaVision Logo VERTIGO – AUS DEM REICH DER TOTEN auf dem Programm steht. Das Besondere daran: VERTIGO wird in Stück beinhaltet nicht nur alle vier einer restaurierten 70mm-Kopie mit 4- RAMBO-Filme jeweils als 2-DVD-Set, Kanal DTS Sound präsentiert.

Operation Mekong 《湄公河行動》 a Film by Dante Lam
OPERATION MEKONG 《湄公河行動》 A FILM BY DANTE LAM Running Time: 124 Minutes Directed by: Dante Lam Producers - Huang Jianxin & Candy Leung Executive Producer – Yu Dong Action Choreography - Wei Tung Language: Mandarin, English Subtitles Starring: Eddie Peng, Zhang Hanyu, Carl Ng, Ken Lo, Pawarith Monkolpisit, Jonathan Wu. UK Distributor: Trinity Film Synopsis: Adrenaline pumped and hard hitting, Dante Lam’s latest film presents the ultimate takedown of a major crime ring, by a small but unrelenting crime combatant team. Forming this elite squad is Fang Xinwu, (Eddie Peng – Call of Heroes), an intelligence officer in desperate pursuit of the drug trafficking ring, driven from having seem the impacts of the drugs first hand. Partnering with the bold Captain of the narcotics task force, Gao Gang (Hanyu Zhang, Assembly), together they and their specialist team embark on a mission to take the war on drugs to the kingpin’s doorsteps BACKGROUND: The Golden Triangle, situated at the intersection of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand, is often associated with the drug trade. Its difficult terrain - 95% mountainous, a lack of accessible routes and a dense forest - makes it a safe haven for criminals. The emergence of new drugs has lowered the threshold for production, solidifying the region’s reputation as a narcotics empire. Over time, the burgeoning drug business also nurtured the development of other illegal activities, including prostitution, gambling and arms dealing. Violent clashes between gangs have broken out over these illegitimate businesses. The fight against the criminal elements has greatly destabilized the Golden Triangle, making it a dangerously volatile and complex region. -
Film Reviews
A Zhong Dir: Zhang Zuo-ji, 1996 A review by Ming-Yeh T. Rawnsley and Gary D. Rawnsley, University of Nottingham, UK The Taiwanese director Zhang Zuo-ji could not generate enough income to make his film A Zhong (Zhong zai). With money to cast only amateurs with little or no acting experience, Zhang decided to use people similar to the characters. Thus the central character, A Zhong, is a trainee in the folk act "Ba Jia Jiang" (Eight Family Generals); the actor cast in the role had also learned and performed the act. A Zhong's mother is an amateur comedy actress who has experience only in street performances; likewise the actress who plays her. The search for A Zhong's younger brother proved the most difficult. As this character is a retarded child, Zhang and his crew visited many special schools. However, since most parents who have children with disabilities in Taiwan are very withdrawn, Zhang was turned away numerous times. But one day he met a particular child at one of the special schools who showed both curiosity and friendliness, and his parents finally agreed to let Zhang cast him in his movie. Consequently A Zhong's brother, A Ji, has become one of the most delightful and unforgettable children in recent Taiwanese cinema. Moreover, Zhang was keen to cultivate the sense of "family" among his cast, and he thus arranged for them to live together for a month before shooting began. Such methods, some deliberate, most forced on the director by the lack of money, turn A Zhong into an extremely convincing and powerful story. -

In this article, three curators involved in the selection explain how they were first received. efore discussing the question of “independent” Chi - nese films in the Hong Kong International Film Fes - Btival (HKIFF), it should be pointed out that the term “independent” has become, over the years, an almost mean - ingless label save for marketing and academic purposes, or to “lionise” independent films in China. Some filmmakers in China submit their films for censorship and some don’t.
