Inhalt Roy und Denise Solomon ziehen mit ihrer Teenager-Tochter Jess und ihrem kleinen Sohn Ben in ein entlegenes Farmhaus in einem Sonnenblumenfeld in North Dakota. Dass sich dort womöglich übernatürliche Dinge abspielen könnten, bleibt von den Erwachsenen unbemerkt. Aber Ben und kurz darauf Jess spüren bald, dass nicht alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Weil ihr die Eltern nicht glauben wollen, recherchiert Jess auf eigene Faust und erfährt, dass sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause sechs Jahre zuvor ein bestialischer Mord abgespielt hat.

  • Honorary Doctor of Letters Mr ZHANG Yimou
    Honorary Doctor of Letters Mr ZHANG Yimou Citation written and delivered by Professor LEE Chin-chuan Pro-Chancellor: Mr Zhang Yimou is one of the best-known and widely respected Chinese film directors. In 1987, he directed his first film, Red Sorghum, which proved an instant success, winning 12 coveted prizes both inside and outside China. Since then, almost every film he has directed has won critical acclaim, making Zhang the ‘‘best story-telling director’’ in China. Born in 1950 into a family labelled one of the ‘‘Five Black Categories’’, Zhang Yimou grew up in an environment of recrimination and discrimination. Upon finishing junior high school, he was sent to work in a Shaanxi village and later transferred to a cotton mill. Going through the tumult of the Cultural Revolution during his youth made him realize how insignificant an individual could be. At 18, without his family knowing, he sneaked into town and sold blood for five months in order to raise enough money to buy his first used camera. This experience later strengthened his determination to ‘‘overcome adversity and fight for his destiny’’. He believes that success only comes through hard work, persistence and self-confidence, while a person’s worth can only be proved by rising to the occasion. The Cultural Revolution ended in 1976 and two years later Zhang applied for the Beijing Film Academy. By then he was already 27 and without the prerequisite academic qualifications. He was almost rejected. By winning a petition to the Ministry of Culture, he was admitted to the Department of Cinematography and joined Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Zhang Junzhao, who would later establish the core of China’s Fifth Generation film directors.

JETRO, or the Japan External Trade Organization, is a government-related organization that works to promote mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world. Originally established in 1958 to promote Japanese exports abroad, JETRO’s core focus in the 21st century has shifted toward promoting foreign direct investment into Japan and helping small to medium-sized Japanese firms maximize their global business potential. UNIJAPAN is a non-profit organization established in 1957 by the Japanese film industry under the auspice of the Government of Japan for the purpose of promoting Japanese cinema abroad. Initially named “Association for the Diffusion of Japanese Film Abroad” (UniJapan Film), in 2005 it joined hands with the organizer of Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF), to form a combined, new organization.

    May 6, 2013 .NEWS RELEASE. TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX CELEBRATES A CENTURY OF CHINESE CINEMA WITH UNPRECEDENTED FILM SERIES, EXHIBITIONS AND SPECIAL GUESTS - Programme features 80 films, free exhibitions and guests including Chen Kaige, Johnnie To and Jackie Chan - -Tickets on sale May 21 at 10 a.m. for TIFF Members, May 27 at 10 a.m. for non-members - Toronto – Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox, announced today details for a comprehensive exploration of Chinese film, art and culture. A Century of Chinese Cinema features a major film retrospective of over 80 titles, sessions with some of the biggest names in Chinese cinema, and a free exhibition featuring two internationally acclaimed visual artists. The flagship programme of the summer season, A Century of Chinese Cinema runs from June 5 to August 11, 2013. “A Century of Chinese Cinema exemplifies TIFF’s vision to foster new relationships and build bridges of cultural exchange,” said Piers Handling, Director and CEO of TIFF. “If we are, indeed, living in the Chinese Century, it is essential that we attempt to understand what that entails. There is no better way to do so than through film, which encourages cross-cultural understanding in our city and beyond.” “The history, legacy and trajectory of Chinese film has been underrepresented in the global cinematic story, and as a leader in creative and cultural discovery through film, TIFF Bell Lightbox is the perfect setting for A Century of Chinese Cinema,” said Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox. “With Chinese cinema in the international spotlight, an examination of the history and development of the region’s amazing artistic output is long overdue.

    Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報 Volume 2 Issue 1 Vol. 2.1 二卷一期 (1998) Article 6 7-1-1998 Chinese cinema and transnational cultural politics : reflections on film estivf als, film productions, and film studies Yingjin ZHANG Indiana University, Bloomington Follow this and additional works at: https://commons.ln.edu.hk/jmlc Recommended Citation Zhang, Y. (1998). Chinese cinema and transnational cultural politics: Reflections on filmestiv f als, film productions, and film studies. Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese, 2(1), 105-132. This Forum is brought to you for free and open access by the Centre for Humanities Research 人文學科研究中心 at Digital Commons @ Lingnan University. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報 by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Lingnan University. Chinese Cinema and Transnational Cultural Politics: Reflections on Film Festivals, Film Productions, and Film Studies Yingjin Zhang This study situates Chinese cinema among three interconnected concerns that all pertain to transnational cultural politics: (1) the impact of international film festivals on the productions of Chinese films and their reception in the West; (2) the inadequacy of the “Fifth Generation” as a critical term for Chinese film studies; and (3) the need to address the current methodological confinement in Western studies of Chinese cinema. By “transnational cultural politics” here I mean the complicated——and at times complicit— ways Chinese films, including those produced in or coproduced with Hong Kong and Taiwan, are enmeshed in tla larger process in which popular- cultural technologies, genres, and works are increasingly moving and interacting across national and cultural borders” （During 1997: 808).
