All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema by HSIN-NING CHANG has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Erin Schlumpf Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT CHANG, HSIN-NING, Ph.D., April 2017, Interdisciplinary Arts Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema Director of dissertation: Erin Schlumpf This dissertation argues that the alternative digital movies that emerged in the early 21st century Malaysia have become a part of the Malaysian national cinema. This group of movies includes independent feature-length films, documentaries, short and experimental films and videos. They closely engage with the unique conditions of Malaysia’s economic development, ethnic relationships, and cultural practices, which together comprise significant understandings of the nationhood of Malaysia. The analyses and discussions of the content and practices of these films allow us not only to recognize the economic, social, and historical circumstances of Malaysia, but we also find how these movies reread and rework the existed imagination of the nation, and then actively contribute in configuring the collective entity of Malaysia. 4 DEDICATION To parents, family, friends, and cats in my life 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Prof.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Introduction Bollywood in Australia Andrew Hassam and Makand Paranjape The global context of Bollywood in Australia Makarand Paranjape The transcultural character and reach of Bollywood cinema has been gradually more visible and obvious over the last two decades. What is less understood and explored is its escalating integration with audiences, markets and entertainment industries beyond the Indian subcontinent. This book explores the relationship of Bollywood to Australia. We believe that this increasingly important relationship is an outcome of the convergence between two remarkably dynamic entities—globalising Bollywood, on the one hand and Asianising Australia, on the other. If there is a third element in this relationship, which is equally important, it is the mediating power of the vibrant diasporic community of South Asians in Australia. Hence, at its most basic, this book explores the conjunctures and ruptures between these three forces: Bollywood, Australia and their interface, the diaspora. 1 Bollywood in Australia It would be useful to see, at the outset, how Bollywood here refers not only to the Bombay film industry, but is symbolic of the Indian and even the South Asian film industry.

  • Shorter Communications Video Night in Nuku'alofa
    SHORTER COMMUNICATIONS VIDEO NIGHT IN NUKU‘ALOFA: DISJUNCTURE AND DIFFERENCE ON TONGAN SCREENS SARINA PEARSON The University of Auckland On June 27th 2004, “Bollywood” became “Pollywood” when a team made up almost entirely of Polynesian girls won an Indian dance competition held for Auckland secondary school students. Their performance drew not upon classical forms of Indian dance but reflected the popular tastes of the Indian diaspora living in New Zealand, including Fiji Indians, long established Kiwi Indians and more recent professional migrants. The Tangaroa College girls won the contest on the strength of a Bollywood-inspired number. While the win seemed to surprise and amuse Indian journalists, the appeal of Bollywood films among Pacific Island communities and in their island homelands has been a relatively open secret. Despite widespread popular recognition that many Pacific communities are avid Hindi cinema fans, a cursory review of regional journals confirms that its influence in the Pacific is a phenomenon that has attracted relatively little attention among scholars. This oversight might be partially accounted for in terms of how anthropologists working in the region have historically constructed Pacific communities as objects of study and islands as sites of research. These constructions have tended to privilege indigenous communities over non-indigenous communities. In accordance with established methods of ethnographic methodology anthropologists have typically focused intensively upon single or unitary sites for observation and participation. Additionally, transnational media pose particularly thorny and vexed methodological problems for anthropologists accustomed to less mobile, transitory and potentially idiosyncratic cultural formations. Marcus (1995) suggests that one response to these conceptual and methodological challenges has been for research about transnational cultural formations to progressively migrate out of disciplines such as anthropology into interdisciplinary (or as he suggests “anti-disciplinary”) fields such as media studies.

XI \ 2013, pp. 111-124 REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS CULTURALES DE LA UNIVERSITAT JAUME I / CULTURAL STUDIES JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITAT JAUME I DOI : HTTP ://DX .DOI .ORG /10.6035/CLR .2013.11.7 Cosmopolitan (Dis)encounters: The Local and the Global in Anthony Minghella’s Breaking and Entering and Rachid Bouchareb’s London River CAROLINA SÁNCHEZ - PALENCIA UNIVERSIDAD DE SEVILLA AB STRA C T : Through the postcolonial reading of Breaking and Entering (Anthony Minghella, 2006) and London River (Rachid Bouchareb, 2009), I mean to analyse the multiethnic urban geography of London as the site where the legacies of Empire are confronted on its home ground. In the tradition of filmmakers like Stephen Frears, Ken Loach, Michael Winterbottom or Mike Leigh, who have faithfully documented the city’s transformation from an imperial capital to a global cosmopolis, Minghella and Bouchareb demonstrate how the dream of a white, pure, uncontaminated city is presently «out of focus», while simultaneously confirming that colonialism persists under different forms. In both films the city’s imperial icons are visually deconstructed and resignified by those on whom the metropolitan meanings were traditionally imposed and now reclaim their legitimate space in the new hybrid and polyglot London. Nevertheless, despite the overwhelming presence of the multicultural rhetoric in contemporary visual culture, their focus is not on the carnival of transcultural consumption where questions of class, power and authority conveniently seem to disappear, but on the troubled lives of its agents, who experience the materially local urban reality as inevitably conditioned by the global forces –international war on terror, media coverage, black market, immigration mafias, corporate business– that transcend the local.

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

  • A Film from Wales: Welsh Identity and the Children's
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository A FILM FROM WALES: WELSH IDENTITY AND THE CHILDREN’S FILM FOUNDATION Robert Shail Leeds Beckett University Abstract: This article examines the work of the Children’s Film Foundation (CFF) in Wales. The CFF was founded in 1951 to make films for children and supported a network of Saturday morning cinema clubs which were popular until the 1970s. While considering the role of these clubs in Wales, the article focuses on CFF films with a specific Welsh dimension, particularly A Letter from Wales (1953), which was released in English- and Welsh-language versions. Made by the independent producer Brunner Lloyd, the film illustrates prevailing stereotypes of Wales and the Welsh. The article makes the case for its significance in establishing a lyrical image of rural Welsh life. This article examines the work of the Children’s Film Foundation (CFF) in Wales. The CFF was a unique body that provided films made specifically for children from its inception in 1951 to its withdrawal from production in the late 1980s.
