Jorge Gaggero / DOG SECURITY (Argentina) In a society that fosters fear and paranoia, the Goldenberg family takes measures to protect their home only to find themselves mirroring the violence they were trying to escape. Josué Méndez / DIOSES (Peru) Members of a dysfunctional, white, upper class family in Peru grapple with their own prejudices and inter- personal issues when the patriarch brings home his new, lower class, “mestizo” girlfriend who also happens to be his former secretary. -more- FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR THE SUNDANCE/NHK INTERNATIONAL FILMMAKERS AWARDS 11/17/06, page 3 of 4 UNITED STATES: Caran Hartsfield / BURY ME STANDING A random act of violence triggers a change within a bizarre family dynamic, as each member reexamines the ignored, the hidden and the things left unsaid.

Recently released from prison, the man returns to the same small town where now his own child has fallen ill. Kazuo Ohno / MR.

Tomoko Kana / TWO BY THE RIVER An elderly man has an increasingly hard time caring for his infirm wife until finally, with only memories of their life together to offer solace, he feels compelled to make a very difficult choice. Yoshinori Saitou / CHICKEN CHOICE An older man volunteers for an organization that reaches out to other socially withdrawn people. He meets a boy who won’t leave his bedroom and tries to coax him out by relating the story about an outcast girl with blue eyes who works as a chicken sexer (someone who determines the sex of baby chicks). NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) is Japan’s largest broadcaster. Since 1925, it has continued to offer fair impartial reporting and high quality programs, earning the viewers’ trust as the nation’s sole public broadcaster. Through its five 24-hour TV channels (two terrestrial/three satellite) and three radio channels, NHK provides programs of all genres from news and education to sports and entertainment and serves as the hub of Japanese visual culture. NHK’S arts and entertainment satellite channel, which was introduced in 1989, broadcasts more than 600 high quality international films each year. In order to contribute to the development of film culture and the promotion of cultural exchange, NHK is devoted to supporting burgeoning filmmakers who have the potential to guide the industry’s future development. Along with the “Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award,” NHK also produces the “Asian Film Festival” which offers opportunities to emerging film directors in Asia. The Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award is part of the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program. The Feature Film Program was established in 1981 to identify and foster a new generation of leading film artists and support them throughout the creation of a specific film project. The program features lab residencies in writing, directing, and producing, year-round creative and business support, and the Annenberg film fellowships, providing strategic financial support to filmmakers during the development and completion stages of a project. Over the years, the Feature Film Program has supported the early visionary work of Ryan Fleck (HALF NELSON), Hany Abu-Assad (PARADISE NOW), Josh Marston (MARIA FULL OF GRACE), Peter Sollett (RAISING VICTOR VARGAS), Tamara Jenkins (SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS), Paul T. Anderson (HARD EIGHT), Quentin Tarantino (RESERVOIR DOGS), and Kimberly Peirce (BOYS DON'T CRY), among many others. -more- FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR THE SUNDANCE/NHK INTERNATIONAL FILMMAKERS AWARDS 11/17/06, page 4 of 4 Sundance Institute Dedicated year-round to the development of artists of independent vision and to the exhibition of their new work, Sundance Institute celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2006.

  • Martel's Aquatic Zoopoetics
    The Cine-Files, Issue 14 (spring 2019) Martel’s Aquatic Zoopoetics Lucy Bollington In his monograph Formas comunes: animalidad, cultura, biopolítica, Argentine animal theorist Gabriel Giorgi suggests that a change is underway in the deployment of the nonhuman animal figure within Latin American literature and installation art. Whereas historically, Giorgi contends, the animal functioned as a separate sign that denoted barbarity, different categories of alterity, and the “failure” of civilization, from the 1960s onwards there has been an increasing “destabilisation of the distance […] holding apart the human and the animal,” with cultural texts frequently articulating a “new proximity” between the two “that is at once an area of ethical interrogation and a horizon of politicisation.”1 In the contemporary period, the figure of the animal erupts into the internal spaces “of the home, prisons and cities,” writes Giorgi, and is often bound up with intimate explorations of the body, with its “desires, illnesses, passions and affects.”2 Giorgi charges that this human-nonhuman entanglement calls into question existing ontological definitions of the “human” and often challenges the destructive biopolitics that posit certain lives as more liveable than others.3 Internationally-acclaimed New Argentine Cinema director Lucrecia Martel stages such a coming home of the animal, in the sense meant by Giorgi. Animals proliferate in and around the domestic spaces Martel frames, provoke significant multifurcations in narrative meaning, and appear in relation to the movements, characteristics, affects and sociopolitical status of a variety of human bodies. Martel’s rich zoopoetical imaginary has attracted critical attention previously, particularly in relation to the ways in which the animals the director frames enter into symbolic exchange with her child and adolescent protagonists.

  • Brazilian Fantasy, History, and Culture Fall 2015
    HISTORY 387: Brazilian Fantasy, History, and Culture Fall 2015 Professor Ben Cowan Course Time and Location: Email: [email protected] Tuesday, 4:30-7:10PM Office: Robinson B-377D Planetary Hall 212 Office Hours: Th 3-5 and by appt COURSE DESCRIPTION Samba! Sex! Soccer! What do these stereotypes about Brazil reflect? Where do they come from? The Portuguese phrase país do samba e do futebol—“the country of samba and soccer”—expresses a sometimes ironic self-consciousness about these hallmarks of identity and perception of what Brazil is, both in Brazil and beyond. So, then, what is Brazil—or Brazilianness? In this class we will think about the ways in which people and cultures in Brazil have developed, been represented, been fantasized about, and why these things are so. We’ll explore where samba comes from and how it came to be Brazil’s “national” dance; why Brazil has so often been identified with sensuality and sexuality, especially sensual femininity; and what does make soccer important in Brazil. We’ll think about how and why ideas about Brazilianness range from deep, medieval Catholicism to oversexed libertinism; from “savage” and “underdeveloped” to urbane and techy; and from “Latin” to African to indigenous. At the heart of our stories will be questions about sexuality, gender, race, nation-building, and identity—we will use sources ranging from novels to sociological studies to films to analyze the ways these tropes have shaped the idea of Brazil, within and without.

    As promised, Faculty, Admin, and Tech have all been coming up with works to watch while shuttered inside (in the physical, and not psychological, sense). We will have more forthcoming from other members of the department, I’d hope next week, to get you through the exam period and beyond. The range below is eclectic, at times challenging, and most of all fun of all sorts. A lot of the material is easily streamable and/or downloadable; I’m sure there are other ways you can find material too. We hope you find stuff here to get you through the days and nights and days and nights and days and nights. We are all in this together, so feel free to come up with lists (on your own, or even better, get together digitally and socialize) of works you think faculty, admin, and techs ought to be watching. Teach us something and make it a two- way street! UPDATE, April 14: See below for new recommendations from Adonay, Tama, and Karine!
