Keywords : Introduction, ghost, supernatural Quotation : Staufer, Helen and Michael Christopher (2012) “Magical thrilling spooky moments in cinema: An introduction”, in: manycinemas issue 3, page 6-10 Staufer/ Christopher: Magical thrilling spooky moments in cinema 7 Take a step into a cinema hall, leave reality when you cross the entrance, take a seat and wait. The ultimate magic moment of film is when pictures ap - pear in the dark, moving on the screen, changing form, and creating visual ef - fects out of nothing. Directors and special effect artists make things possible that lay beyond reality. While narrated stories and literature help to create vi- sions through description, film depictures them and creates images. Cinema is a modern tale. The monsters of childhood (or past) come alive and haunt the protagonists on the screen, almost as a substitute for the viewer. How do they meet their fears? How does film show fear? And is there any es - cape? In literature most of these pictures are absolutely personal. The reader must create these monsters in his head. Film presents the m as seen by the di- rector. But even these monsters are able to enter the thoughts of the viewers, to go deep inside. Frankenstein, Dracula, Godzilla, etc. have a common image of fear: the scar on the forehead of the creature of Frankenstein, the cape, coffin and teeth of the vampire lord or the saurian like statue and his sound over Tokyo. This all generates dread in the head of the people who share these cul- tural codes made by movies (even if the original descriptions are written in books). Next to these fear-creating-creatures, people are afraid of the disem- bodied. Ghosts are a common motif in cinema. Screenshot Arabala (source VHS) 8 03 (2012): dread, ghost, specter and possession Fairy tales, myths, or literature adaptations are the main sources of thrilling supernatural moments in cinema. Bram Stokers novels Dracula or Frankenstein create modern thrilling tales which are used all over the world. Of- ten, fairy tales are filmed for young consumers or as comedy. The Czech TV - Serial Arabala (CZ 1979-1981, Václav Vorlíček) lets the protagonists of popular fairy tales appear in reality. While the black wizard Rumburak tries to change the world of fairy tales by modification of the stories, narrated in television as bedtime-stories, the other protagonists try to live with the changing situation or to fight back to re-install the written order. Here, we can detect critic of the power of visual media: television has the ability to rewrite stories and to create new realities by manipulation. However, not all stories are made for children: Terry Gilliam uses the stories of The Brothers Grimm (USA 2005) to mix the life of these famous brothers with the tales they collected through all the land. Herewith, he put s fiction into the historical reality and shows a world of monsters as a real possi- bility. The Korean film Hansel and Gretel (South-Korea 2007, original 헨젤과 그레 텔, dir. Pil-Sung) uses the story of one of Grimm's fairy tale, but locates it into today Korea. A young man has an accident deep in the forest where he follows a lantern to find a hut. Inside this hut, everything is fine, but as time goes by, the situation turns strange. He wants to escape to the civilization, but it seems that there is no way out. Pil-Sung's adaptation of this popular tale into a color - ful Korean story is disturbing, especially because the spectator expects a narra - tion he almost knows, but the story differs with every minute. Screenshot 헨젤과 그레텔 (source DVD) Staufer/ Christopher: Magical thrilling spooky moments in cinema 9 The tradition of yōkai (ghost, phantom, strange apparition) is narrated in Japanese folk tales and has also found its way into film. At most, Manga/ Anime or Japan-Horrorfilms use this kind of monsters wh o sometimes are called mononoke. You can find some in Mononoke Hime (Japan 1997, dir. Miyazaki), the Golden Bear Award-winning anime of Miyazaki, in which the space of these mystic creatures is haunted by the people who want to exploit the nature the yōkais live in. Only the “Princess of Mononoke” can lead the yōkai troops against the human invaders and re-unite the yōkai. In Sen to Chi- hiro no Kamikakushi (Japan 2001, dir. Miyazaki) yōkai also appears in the won- derland Chihiro travels to. The cinema of the Ghibli studio is full of creatures like Ponyo, Totoro, etc., but all of them have a kind character and there is noth- ing to fear. Even the atomic dinosaur like monster Godzilla, which stars in un- countable Japanese disaster films, is not evil at all. There is more than one truth in Japanese ghost stories. The supernatural is a popular topic in many films of the African and Asian continent. In Ghana. the term Juju describes films in which supernatural power is used to force own interests. Souleymane Cissé tells in his film Yeelen (Mali 1987) an old Bambara epic, full of magic power. Film takes over the role of history keepers/story tellers of the West African societies: the griots. In West African cinema, there is often the effect that the invisible is visualized in the film. The spirit becomes a real surface and thus the belief of its power in - creases. The Nigerian video industry produces many video serials. Some are cen- tered around love tales, some are crime stories, and many of these films are su- pernatural. Carmela Garritano detects the effects of neoliberal capitalism on the Nigerian society in these occult stories of popular movies. Blood-money, Big Men and Zombies leads you deep inside the Nigerian video industry. “When the shit hits the fan, the time to leave has come.” Swantje Bud- densiek explores the world of a Boer family in Triomf, a novel of Marlene van Niekerk and how the cinema adaption of director Michael Raeburn differs in its narrative style. The story reveals about the decay of Apartheid in South Africa and the ghosts of past that haunted back the different family members. But no real ghost appears. Instead of, a kind of uncanny moments haunt the 10 03 (2012): dread, ghost, specter and possession protagonists. Swantje Buddensiek detects these ghosts in the novel, but she misses them in the story's visualization. Cen Cheng describes the dread shown in Aftershock, one of the few dis- aster films of China. This kind of genre is an alien tale in the prosperous China story of technological progress. Her article No dread for disasters shows the reader the plasticity of Chinese life. Brenda Gardenour focuses in her article Left behind the phenomena of Child Ghosts in three different movies: Rinne (Japan 2005), Dek Hor (Thailand 2006), and El Orfanato (Spain 2007). She describes a journey into the dread of the human mind. A step “Beyond the screen”, we are very happy to include this article, goes Carrie Clanton who explores the Hauntology beyond the cinema. She leads us to the uncanny moments of electronic music. Have a good time! Filmography Arabala, Czech Republic 1979-1981, dir. Václav Vorlíček, Czech. Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Japan 2001, dir.

    MEDIA RELEASE 29 July 2020 The past isn’t done with us yet… Catherine Văn-Davies leads the ensemble cast of new Australian drama series Hungry Ghosts Four-night special event on SBS Monday 24 August – Thursday 27 August at 9:30pm • INTERVIEWS AVAILABLE • IMAGES AND SCREENERS: HERE • FIRST LOOK TRAILER: HERE Chilling, captivating and utterly compelling, Hungry Ghosts follows four families that find themselves haunted by ghosts from the past. Filmed and set in Melbourne during the month of the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the Vietnamese community venerate their dead, this four-part drama series event from Matchbox Pictures premieres over four consecutive nights, Monday 24 August – Thursday 27 August at 9:30pm on SBS. When a tomb in Vietnam is accidentally opened on the eve of the Hungry Ghost Festival, a vengeful spirit is unleashed, bringing the dead with him. As these spirits wreak havoc across the Vietnamese-Australian community in Melbourne, reclaiming lost loves and exacting revenge, young woman May Le (Văn-Davies) must rediscover her true heritage and accept her destiny to help bring balance to a community still traumatised by war. Hungry Ghosts reflects the extraordinary lived and spiritual stories of the Vietnamese community and explores the inherent trauma passed down from one generation to the next, and how notions of displacement impact human identity – long after the events themselves. With one of the most diverse casts featured in an Australian drama series, Hungry Ghosts comprises more than 30 Asian-Australian actors and 325

    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

  • Dead Season1
    158 Dead Season1 Caroline Sy HAU Professor, Center for Southeast Asian Studies Kyoto University In Kyoto, the Obon festival in honor of the spirits of ancestors falls around the middle of August. The day of the festival varies according to region and the type of calendar (solar or lunar) used. The Kanto region, including Tokyo, observes Obon in mid-July, while northern Kanto, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Okinawa celebrate their Old Bon (Kyu Bon) on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. For most Japanese, though, August, shimmering Nilotic August, is dead season. Children have their school break, Parliament is not in session, and as many who can afford it go abroad. Because Kyoto sits in a valley, daytime temperature can run up to the mid- and even upper 30s. Obon is not a public holiday, but people often take leave to return to their ancestral hometowns to visit and clean the family burial grounds. The Bon Odori dance is based on the story of the monk Mokuren, who on Buddha’s advice was able to ease the suffering of his dead mother and who was said to have danced for joy at her release. The festival culminates in paper lanterns being floated across rivers and in dazzling displays of fireworks. An added attraction in Kyoto is the Daimonji festival held on August 16. Between 8:00 and 8:20 p.m., fires in the shape of the characters “great” (dai, ) and “wondrous dharma” (myo/ho ) and in the shapes of a boat and a torii gate are lit in succession on five mountains encircling the city.

  • Ghost-Movies in Southeast Asia and Beyond. Narratives, Cultural
    DORISEA-Workshop Ghost-Movies in Southeast Asia and beyond. Narratives, cultural contexts, audiences October 3-6, 2012 University of Goettingen, Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology Convenor: Peter J. Braeunlein Abstracts Post-war Thai Cinema and the Supernatural: Style and Reception Context Mary Ainslie (Kuala Lumpur) Film studies of the last decade can be characterised by escalating scholarly interest in the diverse film forms of Far East Asian nations. In particular, such focus often turns to the ways in which the horror film can provide a culturally specific picture of a nation that offers insight into the internal conflicts and traumas faced by its citizens. Considering such research, the proposed paper will explore the lower-class ‘16mm era’ film form of 1950s and 60s Thailand, a series of mass-produced live-dubbed films that drew heavily upon the supernatural animist belief systems that organised Thai rural village life and deployed a film style appropriate to this context. Through textual analysis combined with anthropological and historical research, this essay will explore the ways in which films such as Mae-Nak-Prakanong (1959 dir. Rangsir Tasanapayak), Nguu-Phii (1966 dir. Rat Saet-Thaa-Phak-Dee), Phii-Saht-Sen-Haa (1969 dir. Pan-Kam) and Nang-Prai-Taa-Nii (1967 dir. Nakarin) deploy such discourses in relation to a dramatic wider context of social upheaval and the changes enacted upon rural lower-class viewers during this era, much of which was specifically connected to the post-war influx of American culture into Thailand. Finally it will indicate that the influence of this lower-class film style is still evident in the contemporary New Thai industry, illustrating that even in this global era of multiplex blockbusters such audiences and their beliefs and practices are still prominent and remain relevant within Thai society.

    The Asian Conference on Film and Documentary 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan “Our Fear Has Taken on a Life of its Own”: The Monster-Child in Japanese Horror Film of The Lost Decade, Jessica Balanzategui University of Melbourne, Australia 0168 The Asian Conference on Film and Documentary 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract The monstrous child of Japanese horror film has become perhaps the most transnationally recognisable and influential horror trope of the past decade following the release of “Ring” (Hideo Nakata, 1999), Japan’s most commercially successful horror film. Through an analysis of “Ring”, “The Grudge” (Takashi Shimizu, 2002), “Dark Water” (Nakata, 2002), and “One Missed Call” (Takashi Miike, 2003), I argue that the monstrous children central to J-horror film of the millenial transition function as anomalies within the symbolic framework of Japan’s national identity. These films were released in the aftermath of the collapse of Japan’s bubble economy in the early 1990s — a period known in Japan as ‘The Lost Decade’— and also at the liminal juncture represented by the turn of the millennium. At this cultural moment when the unity of national meaning seems to waver, the monstrous child embodies the threat of symbolic collapse. In alignment with Noël Carroll’s definition of the monster, these children are categorically interstitial and formless: Sadako, Toshio, Mitsuko and Mimiko invoke the wholesale destruction of the boundaries which separate victim/villain, past/present and corporeal/spectral. Through their disturbance to ontological categories, these children function as monstrous incarnations of the Lacanian gaze. As opposed to allowing the viewer a sense of illusory mastery, the J- horror monster-child figures a disruption to the spectator’s sense of power over the films’ diegetic worlds.
