  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
    5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now.

  • Notes for Chapter Re-Drafts
    Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 Jonathan Wroot PhD Thesis Submitted to the University of East Anglia For the qualification of PhD in Film Studies 2013 1 Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 2 Acknowledgements Thanks needed to be expressed to a number of people over the last three years – and I apologise if I forget anyone here. First of all, thank you to Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston for agreeing to oversee this research – which required reining in my enthusiasm as much as attempting to tease it out of me and turn it into coherent writing. Thanks to Mark Jancovich, who helped me get started with the PhD at UEA. A big thank you also to Andrew Kirkham and Adam Torel for doing what they do at 4Digital Asia, Third Window, and their other ventures – if they did not do it, this thesis would not exist. Also, a big thank you to my numerous other friends and family – whose support was invaluable, despite the distance between most of them and Norwich. And finally, the biggest thank you of all goes to Christina, for constantly being there with her support and encouragement. 3 Abstract The thesis will examine how DVD distribution can affect Japanese film dissemination in the UK. The media discourse concerning 4Digital Asia and Third Window proposes that this is the principal factor influencing their films’ presence in the UK from 2008 to 2010.

Our thoughts and support are with those suffering. 2 Since September 2019, the raging fires across the eastern and southeastern Australian coastal regions have burned over 17.9 million acres, destroyed over 2000 homes, and killed least 27 people. A billion animals have been caught in the fires, with some species now pushed to the brink of extinction. Skies are reddened from air heavy with smoke— smoke which can be seen 2,000km away in New Zealand and even from Chile, South America, which is more than 11,000km away. Currently, massive efforts are being taken to tackle the bushfires and protect people, animals, and homes in the vicinity. If you would like to be a part of this effort, here are some resources you can use to help: Country Fire Authority Country Fire Service Foundation In Victoria In South Australia New South Wales Rural The Australian Red Cross Fire Service Fire recovery and relief fund World Wildlife Fund GIVIT Caring for injured wildlife and Donating items requested by habitat restoration those affected The Animal Rescue Collective Craft Guild Making bedding and bandaging for injured animals.

  • Oberwinkler 2009 Japanische Mimik Am
    Michaela Oberwinkler Japanische Mimik am Beispiel des Films „I just didn’t do it“ Einleitung Japanische Mimik wird oft beschrieben als undurchsichtig und schwer zu deu- ten. Aus japanischen Gesichtern lasse sich keine Emotion ablesen. Man könne aus dem Gesichtsausdruck nicht erkennen, was ein Japaner denkt. Solche und ähnliche Aussagen findet man häufig in einleitenden Beschreibungen von Rei- seführern oder bei Erklärungen zu Verhaltensregeln in Japan. Aber treffen diese Aussagen auch heute noch zu?

Um den Gültigkeitswert der oben genannten Darstellungen zu hinterfragen und auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt im modernen Japan des 21. Jahrhunderts hin zu überprü- fen, sollen in diesem Artikel häufig beschriebene Phänomene der japanischen nonverbalen Kommunikation – vor allem der japanischen Mimik – vorgestellt und mit aktuellen Filmszenen belegt oder widerlegt werden. Als Untersu- chungsmaterial werden Bilder aus dem preisgekrönten Film „I just didn’t do it“1 2 von Masayuki SUO aus dem Jahr 2006 herangezogen. Auswahl des Films Die Auswahl dieses Filmes hat mehrere Gründe: Zum einen zählen dazu die vielen Preise3, die der Film gewonnen hat, da sie ein Zeichen dafür sind, dass der Film in der japanischen Öffentlichkeit große Wahrnehmung gefunden hat.4 Die Tatsache, dass auch die schauspielerischen Leistungen mit Preisen ausge- 1 Jap.
