The film revolves around an ailing senior member of a family who is being put on the ventilator just days before the popular Ganpati festival leading to varied degrees of speculation and panic amongst the large coastal clan he belongs to. What ensues is funny, ironical and deeply moving. The first poster of the movie was unveiled by Priyanka Chopra in September 2016.

  • A Feminist Representation in Pakistani Cinema: a Case Study of “Bol” the Movie
    New Media and Mass Communication www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3267 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3275 (Online) Vol.43, 2015 A Feminist Representation in Pakistani Cinema: A Case Study of “Bol” The Movie Aqsa Iram Shahzadi Assistant Professor Department of Communication Studies, Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan Abstract The Study analyses the Pakistani movie ‘Bol’ particularly from the feminist perspective. Qualitative discourse analysis is the method used by the researcher. To analyze feminist ideology five categories (realization of self, concept of patriarchy, challenging patriarchal ideologies, male chauvinism and reproductive rights) are constructed. Findings show that the movie is based on liberal feminist ideologies. The analysis also finds the fact that creation of ideologies and distribution of power is done through language. Study explores the ways through which ideologies are constructed and manipulated through media. Keywords: Liberal Feminism, Discourse Analysis, Movie, Bol, Introduction The role of the media, in the modern world cannot be underestimated and media is considered as a tool for the production and dissemination of the ideology that serves the interests of the group/class that exercises economic and political control over it. Media occupies a strategic place in the game of power relation with in a social formation. Film is very important media, which can bring change in society. This is best source of entertainment yet is also used for information, education and as well as a tool of propaganda to make opinion or to converse the world opinion. Every movie in the world is made on some ideology shown as reality (Buckland 2011). Ideology means ideas that form the basis of an economic or political theory or that are held by a particular group of people or person (Oxford Dictionary).

  • French Blockbusters S French Blockbusters
    Traditions in World Cinema General Editors: Linda Badley and R. Barton Palmer Founding Editor: Steven Jay Schneider This series introduces diverse and fascinating movements in world cinema. Each volume concentrates CHARLIE MICHAEL on a set of films from a different national, regional or, in some cases, cross-cultural cinema which constitute a particular tradition. FRENCH BLOCKBUSTERS Cultural Politics of a Transnational Cinema CHARLIE MICHAEL FRENCH BLOCKBUSTERS FRENCH BLOCKBUSTERS The digitised spectacles conjured by a word like ‘blockbuster’ may create a certain cognitive Cultural Politics of a Transnational Cinema dissonance with received ideas about French cinema – long celebrated as a model for philosophical, economic and aesthetic resistance to globalised popular culture. While the Gallic ‘cultural exception’ remains a forceful current to this day, this book shows how the onslaught CHARLIE MICHAEL of Hollywood mega-franchises and new media platforms since the 1980s has also provoked an overtly commercialised response from French producers eager to redefine the stakes and scope of their own traditions. Cutting across a swath of recent French-produced cinema, French Blockbusters offers the first book-length consideration of the theoretical implications, historical impact and cultural consequences of a recent grouping of popular films that are rapidly changing what it means to make – or to see – a ‘French’ film today. From English-language action vehicles like Valérian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Besson, 2017) to revisionist historical films like Of Gods and Men (Beauvois, 2011) and crowd-pleasing comedies like Intouchables (Tolédano & Nakache, 2011), the variously filiated ‘local blockbusters’ from contemporary France brim with the seeds of cultural contradiction, but also with the energy of a counter-history.

It argues for a critical form of transnationalism in diasporic cinema film studies that might help us interpret more productively the interface between postcolonial global and local, national and transnational. It also aims to move away from a francophone cinema Eurocentric approach towards the reading of such films. It will illustrate how the Chinese cinema concept of transnational cinema has been at once useful and problematic, liberating East Asian cinemas and limiting, by focusing on two case studies – diasporic and postcolonial cinemas and Chinese and East Asian cinemas – that provide fertile ground for interrogating the concept of the transnational. 7 TRAC 1.1_art_Higbee_007-022.indd 7 1/19/10 8:19:56 AM Will Higbee | Song Hwee Lim 1.

  • Shifting Identities and Changing Images in Tamil Cinema
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention (IJHSSI) ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 7 Issue 10 Ver.I ||October 2018 || PP 44-47 Shifting Identities and Changing Images in Tamil Cinema Amutha Manavalan Asst. Prof. Department of Media Studies, Christ University Dr. Shailashree B Associate Professor, Dept. of Mass Communication, Bangalore University ABSTRACT: Tamil popular cinema has been a reflection of political, cultural and ethnic ideologies creating a Tamil identity among the fans for many decades. It has been instrumental in creating images of genders through visual culture and visual representations which has led to stereotyping the identity, culture and appearances of the Tamil populace. For decades the identity of the man has been portrayed as the torchbearer of Tamil identity while the woman has been more of a passive submissive subject providing a constant support to the male dominant character or protagonist. The article focuses on the shifting identities portrayed through cinema and how it has left a void in Tamil society and culture at a time of ethnic crisis. The paper would be discussing stereotyping portrayals and its effects on perception leading to the above mentioned factors of identity, crisis and stereotyping. KEY WORDS: Tamil popular cinema, visual representation, culture, identity --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 29-09-2018 Date of acceptance:09-10-2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Films have played a very important role in India, and even today remain the most popular form of entertainment and recreation. They have also played a crucial part from time to time in promoting educational and reformative values.

  • Bringing World Cinema Into the History Curriculum
    BRINGING WORLD CINEMA INTO THE HISTORY CURRICULUM Ronald Briley Sandia Preparatory School, Albuquerque, NM Imagine a flyer promoting a history elective prominently featuring the image of a black-robed Death figure with the following caption: "If you would like to screen a two-hour black and white film in Swedish with English subtitles in which a knight plays chess with death while discussing the meaning oflife and such philosophical questions as the existence of God, then this is the class for you." It was with some trepidation that I tried this novel approach for recruitment into a new history elective five years ago. And it worked, perhaps offering a certain snob appeal for some students. But I prefer to believe that "Introduction to World Cinema" addressed student intellectual curiosity regarding film and filmmaking as well as learning more about other cultures in our ever-shrinking world. Over twenty-five years ago, I encountered resistance to a proposed class in which Hollywood feature films would be employed as primary sources through which to investigate the formation of American values and ideology in the post-World War II period. In other words, these films would be examined to ascertain how they reflected the time periods in which they were made.1 Thus, I would not use High Noon (1952) to examine the American West. Instead, High Noon offers insight into such essential issues and concerns of the 1950s as the Cold War, communism and anticommunism, the Hollywood Ten, conformity, and suburbia. In a similar fashion, Bonnie and Clyde (1967) tells us more about the 1960s than the Depression era in which the film was set.
