  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

  • Update: Corona Und Die Filmindustrie Nach Wie Vor Bestimmt Das Coronavirus Die Internationalen Schlagzeilen Und Macht Auch Vor Den Kulturbranchen Nicht Halt
    Filmnewsletter April Liebe Filmfreunde, ich bin David und werde, wie Rafael schon erwähnt hat, in Zukunft den Filmnewsletter weiterführen. An dieser Stelle nochmal einen herzlichen Dank für Rafaels tolle Arbeit. Kurz zu mir: ich studiere im Bachelor Ostasienwissenschaften bzw. Sinologie und bin schon länger sehr interessiert am ostasiatischen Film. Trotz des sehr besonderen Semesterstarts freue ich mich darauf, euch in den nächsten Monaten über das ostasiatische Kino zu berichten und hoffe, dass wir uns mithilfe von spannenden Filmen die Zeit verkürzen können. Allerdings gibt es bessere Zeiten für Filminteressierte, denn durch das Coronavirus ist nicht nur der Uni-Alltag eingeschränkt, sondern auch die Filmindustrie ist stark limitiert. Rafael hat hierauf bereits im Februar aufmerksam gemacht, aufgrund der rasanten Veränderungen will ich aber nochmals ein Update über die Situation geben. Zudem ist am 10. April traurigerweise der japanische Regisseur Nobuhiko Obayashi (⼤林 宣彦) gestorben, auf dessen Leben und Werk ich daher zurückblicken möchte. Update: Corona und die Filmindustrie Nach wie vor bestimmt das Coronavirus die internationalen Schlagzeilen und macht auch vor den Kulturbranchen nicht halt. Viele Künstler haben Probleme, ihre Werke zu zeigen und zu verkaufen und auch Filmproduktionen mussten pausiert werden und Kinos wurden geschlossen. Dies gilt ebenso für die 1/4 ostasiatische Filmindustrie. Zwar wurden in China kurzzeitig wieder viele Kinos geöffnet, doch wurde dies inzwischen wieder zurückgenommen, um größere Menschenansammlungen dort zu vermeiden. Dies führt allmählich bei Kinobetreibern zu deutlichen Einbußen, die sich vor allem für kleinere Betreiber empfindlich auswirken. So haben allein in China bisher etwa 5000 TV- und Film-Unternehmen ihre Registrierung zurückgezogen, mehr als doppelt so viele wie im ganzen letzten Jahr.

  • South Africa: Afrikaans Film and the Imagined Boundaries of Afrikanerdom
    A new laager for a “new” South Africa: Afrikaans film and the imagined boundaries of Afrikanerdom Adriaan Stefanus Steyn Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Anthropology in the faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Bernard Dubbeld Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Afrikaans film industry came into existence in 1916, with the commercial release of De Voortrekkers (Shaw), and, after 1948, flourished under the guardianship of the National Party. South Africa’s democratic transition, however, seemed to announce the death of the Afrikaans film. In 1998, the industry entered a nine-year slump during which not a single Afrikaans film was released on the commercial circuit. Yet, in 2007, the industry was revived and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This study is an attempt to explain the Afrikaans film industry’s recent success and also to consider some of its consequences. To do this, I situate the Afrikaans film industry within a larger – and equally flourishing – Afrikaans culture industry.

Every morning, the church housekeeper trades a handful of the church’s dust for some of the shepherd’s fresh milk. Every evening, the elderly shepherd dissolves the «magic» powder in water and drinks this mixture to remedy his aches and pains. One day, he doesn’t show up for their trade. The next day, he dies in his bed as his goats keep vigil over his passing. A kid takes its first steps, but he is slower than the rest of the flock and falls behind. He falls into a ditch in the middle of the forest. Unable to climb out, he bleats for help, but neither the new shepherd, nor his dog, hear him. The flock leaves the kid in their wake, leaving him to his fate. When he finally emerges from the ditch, he finds that he is alone. He wanders aimlessly until, as night begins to fall, he stumbles onto a majestic fir tree in which he seeks shelter.

  • 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.
