    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

  • Raft of Incoming, A
    Greta Adorni was born in Milan where she graduated in Philosophy and continued her studies with an MA in Curatorial Practices at the Brera Academy. At Birkbeck, she completed her MA in History of Art, which gave her the opportunity to combine philosophical theoretical frameworks with memory and trauma studies. This article is the result of her MA dissertation [email protected] / __________________________________________ This article intends to look at the ways in which three works of art have attempted to deal with the issue of representation and mediation of the refugee crisis. 1 Rather than delving into historical or political discourses surrounding this humanitarian crisis, this article will analyse three works of contemporary art: Fuocoammare (Gianfranco Rosi, 2016), Raft of Lampedusa (Jason deCaires Taylor, 2016) and Incoming (Richard Mosse, 2017) mostly through the spectrum of Professor at UNSW National Institute for Experimental Arts and curator Jill Bennett’s theory of ‘empathic vision’ and ‘transactive art’. Political Philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s notions ‘bare life’ and the ‘Muselmann’ will also be regarded as crucial to an empathic visual engagement with art. These theories have the purpose of injecting new approaches to the idea of ‘breathing through the medium’ as a way of activating representations, and thereby maintaining the meaningfulness of representations of refugees. The three works were selected for their alternative approach to the representation and utilization of the art medium. I will analyse Incoming, a documentary made by Richard Mosse in collaboration with Ben Frost and Trevor Tweeten and screened for the first time at the Curve Gallery, at the Barbican Centre in London from 15 February to 23 April 2017.

  • The 63Rd Sydney Film Festival Announces Official Competition
    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 8:30PM SUNDAY 19 JUNE 2016 THE 63rd SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES: OFFICIAL COMPETITION WINNER Aquarius, directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, was tonight awarded Sydney Film Festival’s prestigious Sydney Film Prize, from a selection of 12 Official Competition films, at the Festival’s Closing Night Gala. The $63,000 cash prize, now in its ninth year, is awarded for a film’s ‘emotional power and resonance; audaciousness, cutting-edge, courageousness; and capacity to go beyond the usual treatment of the subject matter’. “The jury was unanimous in its admiration of a strong competition this year, and wishes to award Kleber Mendonça Filho as the recipient of this year’s Sydney Film Prize, for his film Aquarius,” said Jury President Simon Field. “Aquarius is a compelling and relevant statement about contemporary Brazil, and the power of an individual standing up for what she believes,” he said. “Mendonça Filho has created a film that is both political and personal – witty, sexy and playful. A film of effortless verve and intelligence. At the heart of the film is Sonia Braga’s astonishing and brave performance of a fearless character, resisting pressures from her family, and the corporate world,” he said. Selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Mendonça Filho’s magnificent second feature is about social justice, with an incredible role crafted for Sonia Braga, thirty years after Kiss of the Spider Woman first brought her international acclaim. The story unfolds across three chapters, and celebrates the prospect of growing stronger with age.

  • Refugee Filmmaking
    Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 18, 2019, pp. 3–11 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.18.01 Refugee Filmmaking Editorial Stephanie Hemelryk Donald, Kaya Davies Hayon, and Lucia Sorbera Figure 1: Production still taken for Mare Nostrum (Rana Kazkaz and Anas Khalaf, 2016). Georges Films, Synéastes Film. Photo credit: Eric Devin. The origins of this issue of Alphaville lie in collaborations between the Forced Migration Research Network (UNSW – University of New South Wales) and the Refugee Council of Australia, and in the inspiration afforded us by international colleagues and guests to Sydney (Fadma Aït Mous), Liverpool (Dennis Del Favero) and Lincoln (Hoda Afshar) universities. We have benefited from these academic alliances and invitations, but we also embrace the widest notion of hospitality, whereby the moment of arrival, the request for assistance and shelter, and subsequent decisions over citizenship and long-term residency are located in a moral environment of welcome and mutual learning. We trace and acknowledge our intellectual relationships here in so far as they have allowed us to articulate an emerging and shared recognition that refugee lived experience stands as the barometer for political civility and social health in our time. © Stephanie Hemelryk Donald, Kaya Davies Hayon, and Lucia Sorbera This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License 4 The challenge of the global collapse into conflict and authoritarianism is stark, and the work of refugee filmmakers and documentarists—and indeed those who use scholarship to draw attention to their efforts—is serious and important. This curated collection of essays, films, reflections and reviews seeks to understand the nature and extent of refugee filmmaking today, and to determine who counts as a refugee filmmaker and why.

  • Race and Social Justice in America
    Race and Social Justice in America This list of titles available at Pasadena Public Library is compiled from suggestions from The New York Times and other publications, other public libraries, and Pasadena Public Library staff recommendations. BOOKS FOR ADULTS The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness Michelle Alexander ©2011 Despite the triumphant dismantling of the Jim Crow Laws, the system that once forced African Americans into a segregated second-class citizenship still haunts America, the US criminal justice system still unfairly targets black men and an entire segment of the population is deprived of their basic rights. Outside of prisons, a web of laws and regulations discriminates against these wrongly convicted ex-offenders in voting, housing, employment and education. Alexander here offers an urgent call for justice. 364.973 ALE I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Maya Angelou © 1969 [T]his memoir traces Maya Angelou's childhood in a small, rural community during the 1930s. Filled with images and recollections that point to the dignity and courage of black men and women, Angelou paints a sometimes disquieting, but always affecting picture of the people-and the times-that touched her life. 92 ANGELOU,M The Fire Next Time James Baldwin ©1963 The Fire Next Time contains two essays by James Baldwin. Both essays address racial tensions in America, the role of religion as both an oppressive force and an instrument for inspiring rage, and the necessity of embracing change and evolving past our limited ways of thinking about race. 305.896 BAL I Am Not Your Negro [Documentary DVD] Written by James Baldwin ©2017 Using James Baldwin's unfinished final manuscript, Remember This House, this documentary follows the lives and successive assassinations of three of the author's friends, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., delving into the legacy of these iconic figures and narrating historic events using Baldwin's original words and a flood of rich archival material.
