Education Events: Learning Resource 10+10 Dir Hou Hsiao-Hsien and 19 others | Taiwan 2011 | 114 min Synopsis This anthology is the response by ten emerging and ten established Taiwanese directors when asked what they perceive to be the nuniquenesso of their homeland. Positioned in the Journey section of the Festival programme, this selection of five-minute vignettes provides a fascinating insight to both an island and its cinema. Genres vary including comedy, drama and documentary, and touch on themes both universal and specific to the Taiwanese experience. Amongst the twenty tales are Chang Tso-ChioU thrillingly vivid view of wartime memories, a dark sci-fi comedy about the erasure of bad memories from Chen Yu-Hsun, bullying exposed across the generations in the highly KORCEVHWNn4GXGTDGTCVKQPoD[%JWPI Mong-Hung, and a leading figure of Taiwanese cinema, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, contributes a beautiful short on the value of family ties and memory, a theme central to many of the films. The filmmakers THE RITUAL (Wang Toon) SPARKLES (Chang Tso-Chi) A GROCERY CALLED FOREVER (Wu Nien-Jen) UNWRITTEN RULES (Chen Yu-Chieh) DEBUT (Wei Te-Sheng) 100 (Ho Wi-Ding) OLD MAN AND ME (Cheng Wen-Tang) GREEN ISLAND SERENADE (Hou Chi-Jan) BUS ODYSSEY (Shen Ko-Shang) KEY (Leon Dai) DESTINED ERUPTION (Wang Shaudi) REVERBERATION (Chung Mong-Hong) HIPPOCAMP HAIR SALON (Chen Yu-Hsun) THE SINGING BOY (Yang Ya-Che) THE DUSK OF THE GODS (Sylvia Chang) SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE (Hsiao Ya-Chuan) THE ORPHANS (Kevin Chu) LANE 256 (Arvin Chen) THE DEBUT (Chen Kuo-Fu) LA BELLE EPOQUE (Hou Hsiao-Hsien) The most high profile director amongst the twenty is multi-award winning director, Hou Hsiao-Hsien (born 1947). Hou studied film at the National Taiwan Arts Academy (1969-72) and his films are often concerned with his experiences of growing up in rural Taiwan in the 1950s and 1960s. His awards include the Golden Lion Award at Venice Film Festival (A CITY OF SADNESS, 1989), FIPRESCI Prize at Berlin International Film Festival (A TIME TO LIVE, A TIME TO DIE, 1985) and the Jury Prize at Cannes Film 10+10 - BFI London Film Festival 2012 - Education Resource by Declan McGill Festival (IN THE HANDS OF A PUPPET MASTER, 1993). Six of his films to date have been nominated for the Palme d'Or (best film award) at the Cannes Film Festival, the latest THREE TIMES in 2005, though the prize has so far eluded him. Hou was voted "Director of the Decade" for the 1990s in a poll of American and international critics put together by The Village Voice and Film Comment. Despite such acclaim, his work remains rarely distributed in the West outside of the film festival circuit. Though there are only two women directors from the list above, Wang Shaudi and Sylvia Chang, there are many strong and sympathetically drawn female characters within the collection.

Curiously each section was originally intended to be shot by three different directors but financial constraints resulted in Hou taking charge of all three. In Our Time (Dir Tao Te-chen, Edward Yang, Ko I-cheng, Chang Yi| Taiwan 1982 | 106 min) Often referred to as the film that launched the Taiwanese New Wave, this earlier example of Portmanteau filmmaking is made up of four segments written and directed by four new filmmakers at that time, exploring Taiwan's development from the 50s to the early 80s.

    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

    Intermedialtranslation As Circulation

    Journal of World Literature 5 (2020) 568–586 brill.com/jwl Intermedial Translation as Circulation Chu Tien-wen, Taiwan New Cinema, and Taiwan Literature Jessica Siu-yin Yeung soas University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract We generally believe that literature first circulates nationally and then scales up through translation and reception at an international level. In contrast, I argue that Taiwan literature first attained international acclaim through intermedial translation during the New Cinema period (1982–90) and was only then subsequently recognized nationally. These intermedial translations included not only adaptations of literature for film, but also collaborations between authors who acted as screenwriters and film- makers. The films resulting from these collaborations repositioned Taiwan as a mul- tilingual, multicultural and democratic nation. These shifts in media facilitated the circulation of these new narratives. Filmmakers could circumvent censorship at home and reach international audiences at Western film festivals. The international success ensured the wide circulation of these narratives in Taiwan. Keywords Taiwan – screenplay – film – allegory – cultural policy 1 Introduction We normally think of literature as circulating beyond the context in which it is written when it obtains national renown, which subsequently leads to interna- tional recognition through translation. In this article, I argue that the contem- porary Taiwanese writer, Chu Tien-wen (b. 1956)’s short stories and screenplays first attained international acclaim through the mode of intermedial transla- tion during the New Cinema period (1982–90) before they gained recognition © jessica siu-yin yeung, 2020 | doi:10.1163/24056480-00504005 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded license.

    #MFF2021 Hello Film Fans! It’s appropriate that, for our first-ever spring Milwaukee Film Festival, the significance of the season is stronger than it’s ever been. Our world is opening up, and our thoughts are once again wandering beyond the confines of anxiety and isolation that have defined the past 14 months. Though we’re not yet to the point of safely welcoming crowds to a packed house at the Oriental Theatre, we can envision a time in the not-too-distant future when that will be happening again. In the meantime, we are incredibly pleased to bring you the 13th annual Milwaukee Film Festival, presented by Associated Bank. Though we’re still virtual, the stories shared through this year’s films have real impact. There’s something for everyone – compelling documentaries, soaring features, quirky shorts, stories from distant shores, and local treasures. When you look at our films, it’s amazing to see how the film industry – and Milwaukee Film itself – have endured through a year when nearly everything we took to be normal was suddenly out of reach. Both filmmaking and film viewing are community endeavors that compel us to gather in person. There was a time when we briefly questioned whether we’d have enough content to offer our film festivals during a pandemic. But that hasn’t been the case at all, and it’s a testament to the unstoppable nature of the creative spirit. On the cover, our bright and beautiful Festival artwork shines like the light at the end of a tunnel.

Er hat Liebeskummer, denn seine Faye ist nach Paris gereist. Tagsüber arbeitet er im Nudelrestaurant seiner Eltern, und Abend für Abend sitzt er in der Buchhandlung, wo er in Französischbüchern die ihm fremde Sprache lernt. „Sans vous, Taipei est très triste“, lässt er seine Geliebte wissen. Als ihm ein alternder Gangster aus dem Quartier ein Flugticket nach Paris anbietet und Kai im Gegenzug dafür einen „einfachen Kurierdienst“ übernimmt, wird's turbulent: Aufs Tapet treten Möchtegern-Ganoven in orangefarbenen Anzügen, die sich das Paket schnappen, gefolgt von einem Polizisten mit aufgewühltem Liebesleben. Kai lernt die Buchhändlerin Susie näher kennen und merkt schliesslich: Paris ist weit weg und das Gute doch so nah.
