And so it was in my opinion, very much inferior. The process of the that when Nicolas Roeg’s film Bad Timing began with the theft, and the efforts of the French during the war to protagonist (Art Garfunkel) in an art gallery gazing at subvert the larceny is extremely well told in John paintings by Gustav Klimt, I was immediately captivated, Frankenheimer’s film The Train. In fact if, like me, you as I am a great admirer of his work.

However, I have received regular freelance indexing work during the last five years, so have been able to print a small number of copies for major contributors, subscribers, and fanzine publishers who sent me paper magazines or books. Suddenly at the end of February this flow of regular work stopped, for reasons I may never discover, so I find myself with no spare income to print and post any fanzines other than a few copies of my ANZAPAzine *brg*. This is embarrassing, because some people have sent me $100 subscriptions in the expectation of receiving print copies. If I receive any unexpected income over the next year or so, I will meet those expectations. Your names are in my card index. The trouble with miracles, however (as Tom Disch once said) is that, although they happen, they cannot be relied upon. Please do not send me further subscriptions. I can’t meet your expectations. The same goes for those people who have no way of downloading SF Commentary from Bill Burns’ eFanzines.com. I also know their names, and will print copies for these few people if a miracle turns up. (Miracles have been in short supply during 2017.) Those people who send me print fanzines and do not themselves post to eFanzines.com will have to decide whether they still want to keep me on their files. I certainly don’t want to miss out on such eminent fanzines as Banana Wings and Trap Door. ‘Always look on the bright side of life,’ sang the Monty Pythons in similar circumstances. I am forcibly retired at last. If most people on the mailing list are willing to download and read SFC and Treasure from eFanzines.com, this gives me much greater freedom to produce smaller issues more frequently. It’s only the oddities of the postage system that have forced me to limit the size of issues to between 64 and 72 pages. My ideal would be a fanzine produced fortnightly or monthly containing all the great stuff that I’ve received, whether it amounts to 10 pages or 100 pages. If I have to say goodbye to valued old friends, I will grieve . But many such friends have disappeared over the years, and new friends are always getting in touch. So long — and thanks for all the fish to come. Bruce Gillespie, May 2017 Randy Byers: ‘Cannon Beach’ 3 I must be talking to my friends Who knows where 2017 goes? When last I wrote, it seemed that I had at last retired, because I had received no paying work for three months. This left me with a rapidly declining bank account, and Stop press: no hope of printing my magazines and sending them out by mail, especially not by airmail. (Australia’s airmail rate Randy Byers, will be exactly three times that of America’s, as of 1 d. 20 Nov. 2017, age 57 October 2017.) Hence I’ve told everybody that I will be merely posting my magazines as files on efanzines.com. One of the best people I have ever met, Randy Byers, has succumbed to brain cancer at the age of 57, in Lost time Seattle. There have been much sad news over recent At the beginning of June I received the offer of two years, but this is the saddest day of all. I particularly indexing jobs from my usual client.

  • Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy And
    Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tsung-Hsin Lee, M.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Hannah Kosstrin, Advisor Harmony Bench Danielle Fosler-Lussier Morgan Liu Copyrighted by Tsung-Hsin Lee 2020 2 Abstract This dissertation “Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980” examines the transnational history of American modern dance between the United States and Taiwan during the Cold War era. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Carmen De Lavallade-Alvin Ailey, José Limón, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, and Alwin Nikolais dance companies toured to Taiwan under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. At the same time, Chinese American choreographers Al Chungliang Huang and Yen Lu Wong also visited Taiwan, teaching and presenting American modern dance. These visits served as diplomatic gestures between the members of the so-called Free World led by the U.S. Taiwanese audiences perceived American dance modernity through mixed interpretations under the Cold War rhetoric of freedom that the U.S. sold and disseminated through dance diplomacy. I explore the heterogeneous shaping forces from multiple engaging individuals and institutions that assemble this diplomatic history of dance, resulting in outcomes influencing dance histories of the U.S. and Taiwan for different ends. I argue that Taiwanese audiences interpreted American dance modernity as a means of embodiment to advocate for freedom and social change.

My desire is to provide an "inside" (ernie) perspective on the history and cultural changes of Southwest Oregon. I explain Native responses to living primarily in a non-Indian world, after the nearly total loss of aboriginal Coquelle culture and tribal identity through v decimation by disease, warfare, extermination, and cultural genocide through the educational policies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S.

  • First Nation Filmmakers from Around the World 10
    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 11.00am WEDNESDAY 10 MAY 2017 FIRST NATION FILMMAKERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD The 64th Sydney Film Festival (7–18 June) in partnership with Screen Australia’s Indigenous Department proudly continues support for First Nation storytelling from Australia and around the world. Leading First Nation Australian directors will premiere their new works at the Festival, including Warwick Thornton’s Opening Night film and Official Competition contender We Don’t Need a Map, and Wayne Blair and Leah Purcell’s highly anticipated second series of Cleverman. “Sydney Film Festival is committed to showcasing First Nation filmmakers and storytelling,” said Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “Throughout the Festival audiences will find examples of outstanding Indigenous cinema, from the red sands of Western Australia to the snowy landscapes of the Arctic Circle. These films promise to surprise, provoke and push boundaries.” “We're proud to continue our partnership with Sydney Film Festival to showcase these powerful documentaries from the world's leading Indigenous filmmakers, as well as premiere the innovative work of emerging new talent from around the country,” said Penny Smallacombe, Head of Indigenous at Screen Australia. “We are very pleased to see five films commissioned by NITV take their place alongside such prestigious works from across the world,” said Tanya Orman, NITV Channel Manager. Two important Australian First Nation documentaries will also have their premieres at the Festival. Connection to Country, directed by Tyson Mowarin, about the Indigenous people of the Pilbara’s battle to preserve Australia’s 40,000-year-old cultural heritage from the ravages of mining, and filmmaker Erica Glynn’s raw, heartfelt and funny journey of adult Aboriginal students and their teachers as they discover the transformative power of reading and writing for the first time (In My Own Words).
