  • The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema
    The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema Ekky Imanjaya Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies December 2016 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Classic Indonesian exploitation films (originally produced, distributed, and exhibited in the New Order’s Indonesia from 1979 to 1995) are commonly negligible in both national and transnational cinema contexts, in the discourses of film criticism, journalism, and studies. Nonetheless, in the 2000s, there has been a global interest in re-circulating and consuming this kind of films. The films are internationally considered as “cult movies” and celebrated by global fans. This thesis will focus on the cultural traffic of the films, from late 1970s to early 2010s, from Indonesia to other countries. By analyzing the global flows of the films I will argue that despite the marginal status of the films, classic Indonesian exploitation films become the center of a taste battle among a variety of interest groups and agencies. The process will include challenging the official history of Indonesian cinema by investigating the framework of cultural traffic as well as politics of taste, and highlighting the significance of exploitation and B-films, paving the way into some findings that recommend accommodating the movies in serious discourses on cinema, nationally and globally.

  • Sydney Film Festival Reveals Weird and Wonderful Freak Me out Program
    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 10:00 WEDNESDAY 7 MAY SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL REVEALS WEIRD AND WONDERFUL FREAK ME OUT PROGRAM The 61 st Sydney Film Festival today announced six films in the popular and strange Freak Me Out program strand. Dedicated to horror, fantasy, shock, schlock and extreme arthouse cinema, Freak Me Out brings a decidedly demented dimension to SFF. “Freak Me Out is for everyone from hard-core gore hounds and students to cinephiles and mainstream audiences curious about the wild side of cinema,” says SFF Freak Me Out guest programmer, Richard Kuipers . “Freak Me Out embraces material that until recently was largely restricted to genre-specific film festivals. Thanks to many factors including the wealth of information and weird material now available on the Internet, Freak Me Out has been able to capture a substantial audience in a prestigious festival such as SFF.” This selection includes the official Sundance selection title Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, which follows the entertaining plight of a small zombie squad battling a brutal horde of undead Nazis; Willow Creek , a found-footage horror from iconic indie comedy director Bobcat Goldthwait; horror- musical Stage Fright , in which the cast of a musical theatre summer camp is terrorised by a kabuki- masked, knife-wielding slasher; French comedy-horror film Goal of the Dead , an eclectic combination of soccer and zombies; the first ever Indonesian-Japanese horror film Killers from LA Screamfest award-winning director duo the Mo brothers; and Love Eternal , the recent winner of the inaugural Fresh Blood award at the Black Bear Film Festival in Warsaw, an adaptation of Kei Oishi’s intense Japanese novel ‘Loving the Dead’, set in Ireland.

  • The Contemporary American Horror Film Remake, 2003-2013
    RE-ANIMATED: THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN HORROR FILM REMAKE, 2003-2013 Thesis submitted by Laura Mee In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2014 Abstract This doctoral thesis is a study of American horror remakes produced in the years 2003-2013, and it represents a significant academic intervention into an understanding of the horror remaking trend. It addresses the remaking process as one of adaptation, examines the remakes as texts in their own right, and situates them within key cultural, industry and reception contexts. It also shows how remakes have contributed to the horror genre’s evolution over the last decade, despite their frequent denigration by critics and scholars. Chapter One introduces the topic, and sets out the context, scope and approach of the work. Chapter Two reviews the key literature which informs this study, considering studies in adaptation, remaking, horror remakes specifically, and the genre more broadly. Chapter Three explores broad theoretical questions surrounding the remake’s position in a wider culture of cinematic recycling and repetition, and issues of fidelity and taxonomy. Chapter Four examines the ‘reboots’ of one key production company, exploring how changes are made across versions even as promotion relies on nostalgic connections with the originals. Chapter Five discusses a diverse range of slasher film remakes to show how they represent variety and contribute to genre development. Chapter Six considers socio-political themes in 1970s horror films and their contemporary post-9/11 remakes, and Chapter Seven focuses on gender representation and recent genre trends in the rape-revenge remake.

  • 5 Film Indonesia Masuk Ke Pasar Internasional, Nomor 1 Sulit Tayang Di Dalam Negeri
    5 Film Indonesia Masuk Ke Pasar Internasional, Nomor 1 Sulit Tayang di Dalam Negeri Realitarakyat.com – Beberapa film Indonesia tak hanya berhasil di dalam negeri, tapi juga menemukan kesuksesan di mancanegara, baik melalui ajang penghargaan internasional maupun pemutaran terbatas di festival film bergengsi. Dari aksi, horor, hingga drama, film-film nasional berikut ini sukses membawa nama Indonesia naik di kancah perfilman internasional. 1. Rumah Dara (2010) Rumah Dara, disebut Macabre di kancah internasional, adalah film horor slasher garapan The Mo Brothers, yaitu Kimo Stamboel dan Timo Tjahjanto. Rumah Dara merupakan salah satu film horor pertama yang tak mengangkat tema setan dan hantu, melainkan manusia pembunuh yang haus darah. Film ini dibintangi Shareefa Daanish, Julie Estelle, Ario Bayu, dan Daniel Mananta. Rumah Dara mengisahkan kelompok pertemanan yang memberi tumpangan kepada seorang perempuan linglung dan mengantarkannya ke sebuah rumah di pinggiran kota. Tak disangka, pemilik rumah itu adalah keluarga kanibal yang gemar membunuh serta menyantap daging manusia. Anak- anak dalam kelompok pertemanan itu pun harus mencari jalan keluar agar tak berakhir di dalam lambung keluarga sadis tersebut. Film ini pertama kali tayang di Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival Korea Selatan tahun 2009, dan disusul rilis perdana di bioskop Singapura. Meski digemari penonton internasional, Rumah Dara kesulitan tayang di Indonesia pada 2010. Meski tak sukses di rumah sendiri, film ini berhasil dibeli oleh Overlook Entertainment asal Paris yang menjadi distributor Rumah Dara di Amerika dan Eropa. 2. The Raid (2011) The Raid yang memiliki judul asli Serbuan Maut, adalah film aksi dan thriller garapan sutradara Gareth Evans. Meski berasal dari luar negeri, film ini melibatkan lebih dari 90% kru serta aktor dari Indonesia.

Salemba Raya No. 4, Jakarta Pusat 10430 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The advancement of technology and society has led to innovations, including in the field of media. Media convergence has given birth to a novel audiovisual medium called Video-on- Demand (VOD), which combined the logics of television, film, home video, the internet, as well as technology. This conceptual research applied a literature review method to discuss the journey of the logic of watching television with a specific schedule and a particular medium to the understanding that television, after all, is just an artifact. The paper also discussed new habits that are developed due to the birth of VOD and how VOD branding worked. This research aimed to look at how the development of media convergence in the form of VOD brought new trends, especially in Indonesia. The paper concluded that many new opportunities were ready to be utilized by VOD platforms to develop their content and reach Indonesian audiences. However, it was also necessary to consider that Indonesia’s regulations still were not utterly supporting the development of VOD. Keywords: Film; Indonesia; Media Convergence; Video on Demand (VOD); Television Abstrak Kemajuan teknologi dan masyarakat telah menghasilkan inovasi-inovasi termasuk dalan bidang media.
