T H E E I J I N G F I L M F E S T I V THE 3 RD BEIJING FILM FESTIVAL 影中岁月 ——致辞酷儿电影论坛 崔子恩 有朋友说，你们办同志影展，像 办夏季奥运会，4年一届，可谓重 大。影展草创，龄在婴齿，虽然未 来广远无限，但眼下还是要在大人 们的手下屁滚尿流。 我们无法认同也无意攀比电影的奥 运会，于是提前，距上一届影展， 时隔3年。 此前两届，收展影片基本为已在国 际有影响力的长片。此届变化最大 的是增添“短句”。一旦短小，势 必年轻。80后、85后的编导摄录 美、演员、制片人纷至沓来，令今 年影展蓬荜生辉。 论坛开启，为的是活跃讨论。创 作者、评论者、观众济济一堂， 不分伯仲与疆域，论语生心，会 神会意，摒弃审判，反对“观众上 帝”“评论家上帝”。重要的是， 尊重与交通。 我们的影展，组委会采取轮值主席 制。影展不设竞赛单元，不搞评 奖。我们不认为电影可以像奥运那 样比出个你高我低。下一届，我们 意欲办成全国巡回展，会有新的组 委加入。这次影展现场，杨洋委员 身在布鲁塞尔，不能出席。第一届 同志影展闭幕时，作为直同志，她 说过十分感人的话。今年的闭幕 辞，我们请同样是直同志的朱日坤 来做。恁多直同志撑持同志影展， 意味着中国同志电影从婴儿期开始 就不是孤军奋战。 时光进步，不荏苒。婴年的影展， 以屁滚尿流的尊严姿态，向前进。 TIMES OF LIGHT AND IMAGE A Forum of Queer Films Cui Zi’en A friend comments jokingly: You guys are celebrat- ing the Queer Film Festival in the same manner as the Summer Olympic Games – that’s four year per tournament. Being a new born infant, one’s future is beyond conseption, one has to fumble with dust and blood at every turn in the grown up world. We don’t mean to be a form of cinematic Olympics, neither do we strive for such,.. So we have moved up the Festival by a year so that it takes place every 3 years. We last hosted a festival of this kind in 2004. Previous festivals featured films which already had 影中岁月established audience; but this time we have added a “Short Films” section as part of our innovative ap- proach. This is to afford young filmmakers with an opportunity to showcase their talent. As expected, considerable numbers of young talent belonging to the post-80’s even post-85’s generation have carved Timestheir images ofin verdure asLight creations inspired by the brilliance and vitality of this Queer Film Festival. The Festival allows for the opening up of spaces for discourse and for the formation of forums where film- makers, critics, and audiences alike can sit together and andImage seek to rid themselves of the gulfs and fences that result from mis-information and to facilitate un- derstanding through engaged discorse. This exercise need not be governed by a specific framework nor theoretic authority, its most important aspect is that of respect and communication. The Organizing Committee of the Beijing Queer Film Festival adopts a Duty Chairman System. The festi- val does not adopt a competitive approach nor does it present any awards. This is a means of avoiding the assessment of films through competitive crite- ria much like those governing the Olympic Games. The next festival has been planned and will begin with a tour of China This will assist in attracting new members to the committee and raise the status of the festival to that of a national festival. Our delegate Yangyang, who is currently in Brussels and can’t be present today, made a very impressive speech at the closure of the 1st Beijing Queer Film Festival although from a heterosexual individual’s perspective.. At this time we would like to hand over to Mr. Zhu Rikun, who’s also is of a heterosexual orientation to make the closing remarks. The support received from the heterosexual community goes to show that the Chi- nese Queer film festival is not striving alone. As time advances one is sure of difficulties ahead, however our Queer Film Festival is still in its infancy and will continue to strive though with dignity.

In 2004 he found a man of his love who also accepts Meimei as is. They held a public ceremonious wedding. Meimei is filled with confidence for this marriage. His friends held a “Meimei Farewell Concert” for the gay community. Along with the farewell concert, Meimei also gave up the stability of a life in Beijing attained as a result of many years of hard work. He prepared to go to Shanghai, a new city, to begin a new way of life. But things did not turn out to be as planned, as the brief marriage was not happy at all. He came back to Beijing soon, embarrassed to see old friends while falling into worse financial strait than ever before. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: I came to know Meimei as a kind-hearted individual whose pure devotion and sincere thirst for love always lead to emotional wounds with every relationship . During the filmmaking, Meimei and I evolved from curious stranger initially to brothers-like friends. I also came to un- derstand transvestite males as a group who from childhood on desire to be girls deep inside. Due to various pressure from life, discrimination from family and friends and an unwillingness to sacrifice their ca- reer and the ability to make a living, most of them can only release their desires deep within through cross-dressing perform- ances. They hope to initiate their own lives with a new identity but also recognize the inherent difficulties and problems. I hope that through this film more people will come to feel their deep pain as my team and I have, so as to understand and ac- cept them as who they are, and accept such lifestyle as is. We also most sincerely hope that through our film, this group of individuals also obtains the kind of support needed to build a new life. 9 影片资料： 《 目的地，上海》 WELCOME TO DESTINATION SHANGHAI 片长：89分钟 出品时间：2002年 类型：剧情 编剧 导演：程裕苏 摄影：史岳 林凡 主演：扬志英 熊黛林 崔子恩 高云翔 周毅 故事梗概： 有关：做鸭的长发上海男孩， 曾插队落户现在拼命挣钱的中 年老鸨，光头变态嫖客，客串 临时演员并且开起了性病诊所 FILM SYNOPSIS: 的下岗女工，伪装成联防队员 A story about: A long-hair “call-boy” from 的杀人歹徒，做妓女的闸北女 Shanghai, an once member of the “Young 孩，下岗女工的同性恋丈夫， Intellectuals” and now a mid-aged pro- 问路的云南女孩，内向寡言与 curess, a bald metamorphic customer, 捡来的小狗为伴的下岗女工的 a Laid-off woman worker who sets up a 儿子，漂亮的外地女孩，以及 clinic for venereal diseases and works as 她的男友。 part-time actress, a disguised murderer, a Shanghai born prostitute, the gay husband of that Laid-off worker, a passed-by Yun- nan girl, the quiet son of the woman work- er, a beautiful girl from some other place and her boyfriend. 故事梗概： Being considered as “the most expect- 有关：做鸭的长发上海男孩， able new come director in China" by News 曾插队落户现在拼命挣钱的中 Week (U.S.), LA Times (U.S.), BBC, Channel 年老鸨，光头变态嫖客，客串 4 (U.K.) and Der Spiegel (Germany); South 临时演员并且开起了性病诊所 China Morning Post (Hong Kong) said that “he’s playing a leading role in the new 的下岗女工，伪装成联防队员 cinema in china”; Christoph Terhechte, 的杀人歹徒，做妓女的闸北女 President of Youth Forum of Berlin Film 孩，下岗女工的同性恋丈夫， Festival, praised him as “ achieving as one 问路的云南女孩，内向寡言与 of the most successful new director in the 捡来的小狗为伴的下岗女工的 world by only 2 films, and the most expect- 儿子，漂亮的外地女孩，以及 able director in china.” 她的男友。 Recently, films without a fixed protagonist become more and more popular, such as 'Babel'and'Crash'.

  • Bad Blood, Good Movie? Laurie Kelley and Paul Clement a Viewer’S Guide: New Documentary About Hemophilia HIV History
    PEN 11-10 CL_PEN 11/16/10 6:27 AM Page 1 Parent Empowerment Newsletter LA Kelley Communications, Inc. inside 3 As I See It: The Hemophilia Archive 4 Inhibitor Insights: Inhibitor Products 5 Transitions: Living Abroad with Peace of Mind 6 Richard’s Review: Hemophilia and AIDS in Film Bad Blood, Good Movie? Laurie Kelley and Paul Clement A Viewer’s Guide: New Documentary about Hemophilia HIV History A new film about hemophilia during the HIV crisis of the 1980s has energized our community. Bad Blood documents events that caused the mass contamination of factor products. Community advocates cheer the movie’s release and hope it will bring more attention to the hemophilia community—for funds, for continued blood safety, and for preserving memories of our fallen heroes. But will Bad Blood needlessly raise fears about plasma- derived products? Most Americans with hemophilia use recombinant products, and most don’t fully understand the difference between product safety and purity. Many of us aren’t aware of the complex production of products, or the fact that all US products are now considered safe. Use of plasma-derived products is on the rise as a treatment for inhibitors—and parents are worried. Now, along comes a film that taps into a parent’s deepest fear: what am I injecting into my child? Will this new documentary reinforce that fear, preventing parents from making good product choices? Flashback It was November 2008, the opening event of National Hemophilia Foundation’s annual meeting in Denver. The audience of hemophilia families and hemophilia chapter representatives filed into a large, festive room decorated with red and blue balloons.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

Received: September 18, 2016 Accepted: October 7, 2016 Online Published: October 24, 2016 doi:10.11114/smc.v4i2.1943 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/smc.v4i2.1943 Abstract Latest decades have witnessed the proliferation of digital media in Hong Kong action-based genre films, elevating the graphical display of screen action to new levels. While digital effects are tools to assist the action performance of non-kung fu actors, Dragon Tiger Gate (2006), a comic-turned movie, becomes a case-in-point that it applies digitality to Yen, a celebrated kung fu star who is famed by his genuine martial dexterity. In the framework of remediation, this essay will explore how the digital media intervene of the star construction of Donnie Yen. As Dragon Tiger Gate reveals, technological effects work to refashion and repurpose Yen’s persona by combining digital effects and the kung fu body. While the narrative of pain and injury reveals the attempt of visual immediacy, the hybridized bodily representation evokes awareness more to the act of representing kung fu than to the kung fu itself.

    The emblem of the University is the mythical Chinese bird feng (鳳) which has been regarded as the Bird of the South since the Han dynasty. It is a symbol of nobility, beauty, loyalty and majesty. The University colours are purple and gold, representing devotion and loyalty, and perseverance and resolution, respectively. The motto of the University is ‘博文約禮’ or ‘Through learning and temperance to virtue’. These words of Confucius have long been considered a principal precept of his teaching. It is recorded in the Analects of Confucius that the Master says, ‘The superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus likewise not overstep what is right.’ (Legg’s version of the Four Books) In choosing ‘博文約禮’ as its motto, the University is laying equal emphasis on the intellectual and moral aspects of education.

It was a treacherous and inhospitable zone, where when winter comes, the land belongs to the wolves. After much war and bloodshed, Commander Lu and his men have given up the battle and begun their retreat. Trapped by a blizzard, they take refuge in a village of the ‘cursed' Harran tribe where Lu commandeers a shack and where, initially to his distaste, he finds a beautiful but mysterious Harran widow hiding in a pit beneath it. Passion quickly overcomes their mutual distrust and suspicion, and they become lovers... but Lu does not comprehend the great price that he will end up paying for their illicit passion...

  • Contemporary Conceptualisations of the Tomboy Identity in Lesbian Communities in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
    Sketching out the Tomboy: Contemporary Conceptualisations of the Tomboy Identity in Lesbian Communities in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan Carman Ka Man Fung 0000-0002-3872-2565 Doctor of Philosophy April 2021 Screen and Cultural StuDies, School of Culture and Communication, Faculty of Arts Submitted in total fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2 Abstract This thesis examines the conceptualisations, uses, and politics of the lesbian secondary gender1 “tomboy” within lesbian communities in China (PRC), Hong Kong, and Taiwan during the late 2010s. The term tomboy has been widely used by queer women in these communities to describe masculine lesbian expressions, fashion, and/or gender role for over four decades.2 Screen representations of tomboy originating from within the Chinese-speaking world and from neighbouring Asian regions were particularly popular among these women during the late 2000s and early 2010s. And yet, since the 1990s3 and increasingly today, a growing section of these communities has been calling for a collective rejection of tomboy, claiming that it reinforces conservative patriarchal and heteronormative values and is therefore anti-feminist. This thesis draws on life stories from those caught between the once-popular use of tomboy and their newfound anti-tomboy feminist sensibilities. It explores the stories of the many women who decided to abandon their tomboy identity in search of their real gender, women who turn to American queer media in hopes of finding true feminist lesbian representations, those who struggle with whether to identify as tomboy or not, and those who in the process of self-searching no longer see themselves as lesbians or women at all.

  • Semana Del Cine De Hong Kong En CASA ASIA 26- 30 Septiembre 2005 / Auditorio Tagore
    Semana del cine de Hong Kong en CASA ASIA 26- 30 Septiembre 2005 / Auditorio Tagore A partir de los años ’70, Hong Kong ha tenido la posibilidad de dar vida a un cine que se ha definido como el más popular y representativo del Sudeste Asiático. Los principales modelos de películas son dos: el más conocido es sin duda el cine de acción, similar en su estilo al cine de Hollywood y cuyos principales directores son John Woo y Tsui Hark; el otro modelo es el de las películas mas intelectuales de directores como Wong Kar-wai y Stanley Kwan, que en los últimos años se han ganado una fama mundial. Recientemente, debido a la invasión de las grandes producciones de Hollywod, el cine local, como ocurre en otros países, se ha lanzado a la búsqueda de nuevas ideas y de una nueva audiencia sobretodo en la China continental.
