Most people know who invented the telephone, the light bulb, the airplane. But what about the digital computer? Who in- vented one of the most important devices in human history? ATANASOFF En général, les grandes inventions rendent leurs créateurs célèbres. La plupart des gens savent qui est l’inventeur du téléphone, de l’ampoule électrique ou de l’avion. Mais qu’en est-il de l’ordinateur? Qui est l’auteur de l’une des inventions les plus marquantes de l’humanité? Doc | 93 min • 52 min | HD Mila Aung-Thwin EyeSteelFilm NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION BONE WIND FIRE Bone Wind Fire is a journey into the hearts and minds of three extraordinary, celebrated women painters: American Georgia O’Keeffe, Canadian Emily Carr and Mexican Frida Kahlo. Each woman had her own response to her environment, to the people who surrounded her and to the artistic or practical challenges she faced in wringing beauty and truth from her particular time and place. The film uses the women’s own words, taken from their letters and diaries, to reveal three individual creative processes in all their subtle and fascinating variety. DÉSERT VENT FEU Désert Vent Feu est un voyage intime et évocateur au plus profond du cœur, de l’esprit et du regard de Georgia O’Keeffe, d’Emily Carr et de Frida Kahlo – trois des artistes les plus remarquables du 20e siècle. Reprenant les mots de ces femmes sous forme d’extraits de leurs correspondances et de leurs journaux intimes, le film met au jour trois démarches de création très personnelles dans toute leur subtile et fascinante diversité. En 30 minutes méticuleusement préparées et réalisées avec art, Désert Vent Feu présente, par le biais de la photographie, la vision qui inspire l’œil du peintre. Doc | 30 min | HD Jill Sharpe NFB | ONF NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION THE BOXING GIRLS OF KABUL A spellbinding portrait of a team of young women who dream of representing Afghanistan as boxers on the world stage. Motivated by love of country, and deeply aware of the precarious nature of their new-found freedoms, these women defy tradition and the expectations of audiences both inside and outside Afghanistan. Journeying inside a little-known part of contemporary Kabul, the film follows the young boxers at the gym, at home and at their very first international competitions. A fascinating immersion into the rhythms of everyday life in the midst of war and a testament to the human spirit. LES BOXEUSES DE KABOUL Au stade national, où jusqu’à récemment les talibans exécutaient des femmes, un groupe de jeunes boxeuses afghanes de Kaboul, inspirées par leur entraîneur, perfectionnent leurs techniques sans bénéficier de la moindre installation. Loyales à leur pays, elles osent défier les traditions. Ces courageuses athlètes rêvent ouvertement de leur avenir et même d’une présence aux Jeux olympiques de 2012. Ce film intimiste relate le parcours passionnant d’une évolution personnelle et politique. 2011 OFFICIAL SELECTION IDFA AMSTERDAM, 2011 Doc | 52 min | HD Ariel Nasr NFB | ONF NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NEW • NOUVEAU THE END OF TIME Visionary filmmaker Peter Mettler takes on the elusive subject of time, and once again seeks to film the unfilmable on a journey that takes him to a particle accelerator in Switzer- land and lava flows in Hawaii, disintegrating inner-city Detroit and a Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha’s enlightenment. Mettler dares to dream the movie of the future while also immersing us in the wonder of the everyday. Le cinéaste visionnaire Peter Mettler s’attaque au sujet le plus fugitif qui soit – le temps – et cherche, cette fois encore, à filmer ce qui ne se filme pas. D’un accélérateur de particules situé en Suisse jusqu’à une coulée de lave à Hawai, en passant par la désintégration d’un quartier pauvre de Détroit et un rite funéraire hindou qui se déroule à proximité du lieu où Bouddha eut sa révélation, le cinéaste ose rêver au film de l’avenir tout en nous plongeant dans les merveilles du quotidien.

NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION EXILE: A MYTH UNEARTHED This film is an investigation into the most enduring myth in Western civilization: the Roman exile of the Jewish people. As all serious historians agree, the majority of the Jewish popula- tion continued to live in biblical Israel after the Roman victory. But if indeed the Judean Jews were never exiled, how do we explain the millions living in the Diaspora? What happened to those who remained in Jewish Palestine after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and to their descendants? Exile examines how myth shapes our identity and the role it plays in today’s political conflicts. EXIL – ENQUÊTE SUR UN MYTHE L’exil du peuple juif à la suite de la destruction du second Temple a longtemps joué un rôle fondamental dans les théologies juive et chrétienne – de même que dans la lutte de territoire au Moyen-Orient. Ce documentaire provocant s’interroge : et si cet exil ne s’était jamais produit? Le film nous invite à repenser la notion d’exil et, peut-être, à trouver un passé plus riche et diversifié que nous l’aurions cru. Doc | 90 min• 2 X 52 min| HD Ilan Ziv Amythos Media Inc. Alegria Productions NFB | ONF NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NEW • NOUVEAU FISTS OF PRIDE In a boxing camp on the Thai-Burmese border, the children of mostly illegal migrant workers fleeing Burma live and train for prize fights. Fists of Pride follows Little Tiger and his fellow fighters as their Thai coaches prepare them for the annual Water Festival competition. The film reveals their daily struggles in a region where combat sports have always been a matter of honour and money. Bets are open, and as their hope of winning prize money grows, the young boxers contemplate what a victory could mean for them and their families. LES POINGS DE LA FIERTÉ Les poings de la fierté raconte le quotidien de Petit Tigre et de ses camarades dans un camp de boxe à la frontière de la Birmanie. Fils de travailleurs migrants, les garçons sont entraînés à la dure par des instructeurs thaïs en vue des combats du Festival de l’eau, qui les opposent à de jeunes Thaïs. Dans cette région du monde, où les sports de combat sont depuis toujours une affaire d’honneur et d’argent, le film révèle comment la boxe est, pour plusieurs jeunes exilés birmans et leur famille, l’unique gage de survie. Les paris sont ouverts! 2012 Doc | 63 min | HD Hélène Choquette Aviva Communications NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NFB.CA/DISTRIBUTION NEW • NOUVEAU THE FROG PRINCES A theatre troupe is working tirelessly to put on a play. The challenges they face are a part of the usual drama behind any live show. There’s the backstage politics, the forgotten lines, the missed cues, the romances and the rivalries. But for this troupe, the stakes are a bit higher—each cast member faces intellectual, developmental and mental health disabilities. Led by their charismatic mentor, the troupe learn how to project their talents and perform with their fellow cast-mates, all the while working through their personal struggles to mount an ambitious adaptation of The Frog and the Princess. Une troupe de théâtre travaille sans relâche à monter une pièce. L’équipe fait face aux dif- ficultés et aux drames inhérents à la mise sur pied de ce genre de spectacle : politicaillerie de coulisse, texte oublié, répliques ratées, amours et rivalités. Mais dans ce cas-ci, les enjeux sont plus élevés, puisque chaque membre de la troupe doit composer avec la déficience intellectuelle, développementale ou psychologique. Dirigés par leur mentor charismatique, les comédiens apprennent à projeter leur talent et à jouer avec les autres membres de la troupe pour monter une ambitieuse adaptation de la pièce « The Frog and the Princess ». Parallèlement à ces efforts, chacun continue à mener sa lutte personnelle.

A portrait of a life that is rebellious and gentle, this is less of an autobiographical film than an authentic tale, as unpredictable and unique as any life.

  • HOSMAN, SARAH SILTANEN, MA Muslim Punk Rock in the United States
    HOSMAN, SARAH SILTANEN, M.A. Muslim Punk Rock in the United States: A Social History of the Taqwacores. (2009) Directed by Dr. Rebecca G. Adams. 124 pp. This project develops a social history of a Muslim American punk rock subculture, The Taqwacores. This social history examines the social context in the United States that has facilitated the emergence of Taqwacore, specifically the cultural, political, and social influences in the lives of Taqwacore members. This social history also examines how individuals explain and understand their involvement with Taqwacore and their combination of these two seemingly paradoxical identities. Methods include an analysis of publications about The Taqwacores to understand how the media conceptualize Taqwacore and interviews with musicians and fans in order to understand Taqwacore on an individual level, explore the personal experiences of specific Muslim Americans with Taqwacore, and determine specific motivating factors for involvement in Taqwacore. Drawing on subcultural theory, theories of punk rock, and recent studies of Islamic identity in United States, Taqwacore is conceptualized as an expression of a dual frustration toward the United States and Islam for the individuals involved. Taqwacore also serves as a form of resistance to this dual frustration, a community for those involved, a re-appropriation of punk rock within the United States, and a source of both individual and collective identity construction.

  • Punk Islam and Selected Works of Michael Muhammad Knight
    Arabian Knights: Punk Islam and Selected Works of Michael Muhammad Knight by Kurosh Amoui Kalareh M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Critical Studies) (Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) August 2013 © Kurosh Amoui Kalareh, 2013 Abstract This thesis is an analysis of Michael Muhammad Knight’s works with a particular focus on The Taqwacores, Blue-Eyed Devil, Osama Van Halen, Impossible Man, William S. Burroughs vs. the Quran, and Tripping with Allah. It differs from earlier critical writing on Knight by taking a Bakhtinian approach to his ground-breaking first novel The Taqwacores and its attempt to open a dialogue on reforming American Islam, focusing on Knight’s relationship to the Beats and their often overlooked Islamic discourses as his ideal model for this artistic/social reform, and tracing a shift in his work from reformist, documentary fiction to self-focused, “cool” autobiography. It argues that what enables Knight to initiate a punk reading of Islam, to cut-up the Quran, and to prescribe ayahuasca (a psychoactive vine native to Amazonian Peru) to pilgrims going to Mecca is his interpretation of the famous statement attributed to Hassan Sabbah: “Nothing is true; everything is permitted.” Meanwhile, Knight’s approach differs from that of many writers from Rabelais and Dostoyevsky to Nietzsche and Burroughs who have cited or paraphrased this statement. While these writers describe how devastating it would be to live in a godless world where everything is permitted with no hereafter, Knight stresses a vague “coolness” in Sabbah’s statement which he uses to guide his own style of living.

    CANADA NOW 2020 SPIRITED · DIVERSE · INDEPENDENT FEBRUARY 13 –16 IFC CENTER, NEW YORK CanadaNowFestival.com Follow us on Facebook at @CanadaNowFilm With the support of CANADA NOW 2020: EYES WIDE OPEN NEW FILMS FROM CANADA In these troubled, tense, tempestuous times, now is the moment to look to your northern neighbor’s flm artists for their 2020 visions. CANADA NOW 2020 is coming soon, and it features some of Canada’s most acclaimed veteran flmmakers as well as some sensational emerging cinematic talents. As William Faulkner famously wrote, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” The flms in CANADA NOW 2020 offer diverse, inventive explorations of how the past both exists in and shapes the present. While its presence can be traumatic, it can also be a source of power and inspiration. In dramatic and documentary forms, in tones serious and comic, these Canadian flmmakers tell stories that confront that gnarled interaction of then and now with cinematic artistry and with open eyes and open hearts. Canada Now’s 2020 offerings range from Atom Egoyan’s dark father- daughter tale GUEST OF HONOUR and Zacharias Kunuk’s breathtaking drama of colonialism in the vast snowy landscapes of Canada’s north, ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF NOAH PIUGATTUK, to Sophie Deraspe’s astonishing modern update of ANTIGONE (winner of the Best Canadian Feature Film Award at the Toronto International Film Festival) and THIS IS NOT A MOVIE, Yung Chang’s revealing documentary portrait of international journalism’s fearless foreign correspondent, Robert Fisk. The selection also includes Louise Archambault’s poetic AND THE BIRDS RAINED DOWN, the story of three aging hermits living ‘off the grid;’ Nicole Dorsey’s debut feature, BLACK CONFLUX, an original coming-of-age drama set in a small town in Canada’s easternmost province, Newfoundland; RED SNOW, an intense war drama by Marie Clements about an Indigenous Canadian soldier captured by the Taliban while serving in Afghanistan; and Monia Chokri’s A BROTHER’S LOVE, an offbeat comedy about a sister and brother who have a decidedly unique flial bond.
