  • Reception to Korean Cinema and Korean Cultural Troupes in Chennai
    Draft only Not to be quoted Reception to Korean Cinema and Korean Cultural Troupes in Chennai Dr G.Koteswara Prasad Professor Department of Politics and Public Administration University of Madras, Chennai 600 005, Tamil Nadu An upsurge of interest in the Korean society and Korean culture has coincided with full fledged participation of Korean cinema in the principal World film festivals during the last few years. The reception to Korean films in various film festivals like Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema 2002, Sanfrancisco Asian Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, Montreal Film Festival, Pusan International Film Festival, to name some of the festivals, seem to be fairly appreciative and the richness and the breadth of the films is being acclaimed by many discerning viewers. It is being suggested that Korean cinema is one of the most productive and successful film industries outside USA. Reviewing Korean cinema, Boris Trbic believed that the quality films produced in East Asia in 2000 indicate that “this region will in the foreseeable future remain at the helm of new and exciting tendencies in the world cinema.” Korean films are more internationalized among the Asian nations. Korean cinema addresses the questions of national identity, historical memory, gender and contemporary cultural issues in a critical manner and provide much scope for serious interrogation. A glimpse of contemporary mores and attitudes of Korean society is available through this media. Korean cinema both reflects and is reflected through the country’s political, economic social and cultural features. India is easily one of the largest producer of films for a long time and the Indian films are produced at least in 11 languages, though in some languages the number is not very large.

  • Transnational Cinemas in Southeast Asia
    228 Humanities Journal Vol.22 No.2 (July-December 2015) Transnational Cinemas in Southeast Asia: A Case Study of Good Morning Luang Prabang (2008), Pleasure Factory (2007) and That Sounds Good (2010) ภาพยนตร์ข้ามชาติในเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้: กรณีศึกษา สบายดีหลวงพระบาง (2551) โรงงานอารมณ์ (2550) และเราสองสามคน (2553) Oradol Kaewprasert อรดล แก้วประเสริฐ Abstract This study is aimed to examine the core and artistic composition of three films: Sabaidee Luang Prabang (Good Morning Luang Prabang), Rong- Ngan Arom (Pleasure Factory) and Rao Song Sam Khon (That Sounds Good). The concepts of transnational film and the film genre are applied to analyse the film content and social condition at the time when and the place where the films were made and shown. The findings are as follows: Sabaidee Luang Prabang and Pleasure Factory are the international co-productions that present transnational elements which are culture, beautiful natural settings and history of each country through romantic-comedy film genre. The productions’ casts and crews are mixed nationalities from different countries. The films are full of transnational films elements, that is, the themes of memory and nostalgia. Due to restricted rules Lecturer, School of Communication Arts, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. E-mail: [email protected]. วารสารมนุษยศาสตร์ ปีที่ 22 ฉบับที่ 2 (กรกฎาคม-ธันวาคม 2558) 229 in each country, the plots of Sabaidee Luang Prabang and That Sounds Good are simple and do not touch any sensitive issues of Lao People's Democratic Republic and Socialist Republic of Vietnam. However, an exception is Pleasure Factory since the film presents sexual taboo through the art cinema genre. This specific film was produced and allowed to show in Singapore; however scenes of male homosexual intimate relationship were removed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Colt 379 SEA Cinema Fall
    1 Department of Comparative Literature COLT 379-Section 22038R Panivong Norindr Nationalism and Postcolonialism in THH 155K Contemporary Southeast Asian Cinema tel: (213) 821-1167 Fall 2019 email: [email protected] THH 106 office hours: T, Th: 12:30-1:30 2 PM-3:20 PM and by appointment Course Description One of the aims of this course, Nationalism and Postcolonialism in Contemporary Southeast Asian Cinema, is to introduce students to the lesser known “national cinema” of such nations as Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, which will enable us to test the relevance and accuracy of the concept of “national cinema” given the challenges created by international co-production and transnational and diasporic filmmaking practices. These cinemas’ multiple inscription in a global economy, a regional context --these nations are members of the Association of Southeast Asian nations (ASEAN)--and a local culture, further complicates our understanding of their emergence as a “national” cultural expression. The films selected both assert and undermine their cultural and national affiliation by making manifest the countervailing, dispersive forces of class, gender, sexual preferences, ethnicity, religion, and so on, rendering also more difficult our adherence to the homogenizing discourse of national cinema. We will discuss and analyze these complex articulations, without neglecting the material and historical conditions that allowed the development of such a cinema: colonialism, decolonization, independence,
