  • Cinema As a Tool for Development
    MSc Thesis Cinema as a Tool for Development Investigating the Power of Mobile Cinema in the Latin American Context By Philippine Sellam 1 In partial requirement of: Master of Sustainable Development/ International Development track Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University Student: Philippine Sellam (3227774) [email protected] Under the supervision of: Gery Nijenhuis Utrecht, August 2014 Cover Picture and full page pictures between chapters: The public of mobile cinema/Fieldwork 2014 Title font: ‘Homeless font’ purchased from the Arells Foundation (www.homelessfonts.org) 2 Everything you can imagine is real - Picasso 3 Abstract During the last fifteen years, mobile cinema has sparked new interest in the cinema and development sectors. Taking cinema out of conventional theatres and bringing it to the people by transporting screening equipment on trucks, bicycles or trains and setting up ephemeral cinemas in the public space. Widening the diffusion of local films can provide strong incentives to a region or a country’s cinematographic industry and stimulate the production of independent films on socially conscious themes. But the main ambition of most mobile cinema projects is to channel the power of cultural community encounters to trigger critical social reflections and pave the way for social transformation. Just as other cultural activities, gathering to watch a film can bring new inspirations and motivations, which are subjective drivers for actor-based and self-sustained community change. Research is needed to substantiate the hypothesis that mobile cinema contributes to social change in the aforementioned sense. Therefore, the present work proposes to take an investigative look into mobile cinema in order to find out the ways and the extent to which it contributes to actor-based community development.

  • Black American Cinema
    MAP Expressive Culture; Prof. Ed Guerrero Wed. 12:30 to 4:30, Rm 102 Cantor Black American Cinema This course will view a range of films made by, for, and about black Americans in popular commercial cinema. Our viewing, reading and writing will cover a developmental, historical range of black focused films and film making practices over the past one hundred years. We will cover a range of critical concerns from the crude racial provocations of The Birth of a Nation (1915), to an ‘entertaining blackness’ expressed in such films as Cabin in the Sky (1943); to Blaxploitation’s brilliant industry intervention and moment; or the challenge of independent black narratives like Killer of Sheep (1977) and Bless Their Little Hearts (1984); to ‘crossover,’ commercially ambitious films like Soul Food (1997) or Paid in Full (1997); and on to viewing break through masterworks like Do the Right Thing (1989). We will cover the debates and issues focused on the development of black American cinema, including the representation of race, class, gender and sexuality, as well as how social and economic conditions work to overdetermine African American cinema production and its varied directions. We will also view and discuss the two main currents of black cinematic expression: the brilliant contributions that blacks have made to mainstream cinema and the independent, breakthrough productions that mark African American efforts to build an emergent, fully representational black cinema practice Required Reading: White Screens, Black Images, by James Snead.

Films are analyzed within their socio-cultural contexts, with particular attention to how race and identity interact with class, gender, and sexuality. We consider the link between film and other forms of Black popular culture. Threads: What Does Clothing Have to Do with Race, Culture, Politics, and the Environment? (AAS 317, 3 credits) Megan Sweeney As our readings and discussions will highlight, clothing signals individuality and social legibility. It's a necessity and a privilege, protective and decorative, utilitarian and the stuff of consuming artistic passion. Clothes manage anxieties and create them, serve as armor and sometimes as sword. They reconcile and multiply our various selves. Clothing is a domain of the deadly serious and a domain of the lighthearted. So, put on your favorite outfit and get ready to think, read, write, and collaborate! Topics in Black World Studies - Hip Hop Africa ​(​AAS 358.007, 3 credits) Kwasi Ampene The seminar will offer students an ethnomusicological perspective on performing arts and power in Sub-Saharan Africa. We shall investigate musical performances as modes of resistance, a means for negotiating power, establishing social identity, providing agency and empowerment, and as a means for constructing gender spaces.

The first stirring began in the early 50*8 with the discontent of young filmmakers who objected to imitative Hollywood musical comedies, known as "chanchadas," which dominated traditional Brazilian cinema. This protest found a response araong young film critics who were inspired by Italian neo- realism and other foreign influences to demand a cinema indigenous to Brazil. A bandful of young directors were determined to discover a cinematic language that would reflect the nation's social and human problems. The leading exponent of Cinema Novo, Glauber Rocha, in his late twenties, stated the commitLment of Brazil's youthful cineastes when he wrote: "In our society everything is still I to be done: opening roads through the forest, populating the desert, educating the masses, harnessing the rivers.

For the composer or songwriter especially, it is becoming increasingly expected for them to have some familiarity with music production and engineering, so that they are able to provide a finished product to employers, clients, or listeners. One goal of a successful production or engineered recording is to most effectively portray the recorded material. Music theory, and specifically analysis, has the ability to reveal important or expressive characteristics in a musical work.
