Indeed, her first film, Filmography 4 EXPOSURE (1990) constituted an important contribution to the National Film Board’s About the Filmmaker 4 Five Feminist Minutes program out of the women’s Studio D, and EXPOSURE was About the Author 5 recently characterized as “the first NFB lesbian documentary in terms of both public authorial identity and explicit subject matter” (Waugh 155). Structured CREDITS 5 around a living-room conversation between writers Mona Oikawa and Leleti Tamu, contrasts and convergences between Japanese Canadian and Black communities are shared, and more particularly, lesbian community affiliations emerge through the evocation of the literatures (Audre Lord, Makeda Silvera), artworks (Grace Channer, Sharon Fernandez, Stephanie Martin) and music of women of colour (Ahdri Zhina Mandiela) that are woven through this short eight-minute film. Notwithstanding the pressures of such an auspicious career launch and moniker, what emerges from Mohabeer’s broader reflections is her desire for her films to be considered for their poetics, their experimental aural and visual strategies—what she has described as a “hybrid-pastiche blurring of experimental documentary and narrative forms” (Cooper 45). Indeed, in Mohabeer’s films, form and content are inextricable one from the other.

  • Celebrate 15! Caribbeantales International Film Festival Screens Award-Winning, Critically Acclaimed Feature Generation Lockdown
    Celebrate 15! CaribbeanTales International Film Festival Screens Award-Winning, Critically Acclaimed Feature Generation Lockdown Nine Nights of 30 Short and Feature Films Live Streamed on CaribbeanTales-TV For Immediate Release: (Toronto,ON) – Told through the eyes of an 11-year-old American boy, Generation Lockdown will have audiences rivetted on the second night of the CaribbeanTales International Film Festival (CTFF). “Truth to Power” Night takes place on Wednesday September 16th on the CaribbeanTales-TV (CT-TV) platform starting at 7:00pm EST. Directed by Sirad Balducci, this film sheds light on the gun epidemic in the United States and the effect it has on young children. Written by 11-year-old Caleb Brown, his story starts off as an average day that quickly turns into him trying to save his best friend’s life during a “Code Red Live Shooter Lockdown.” The Short Films for the night are: Life and Death (Sonja Dumas), Fear (Yoram Savion), K.I.N.G. (Rashad Frett) and Flight (Kia Moses) “We are very excited to screen Generation Lockdown. This is the Canadian Premiere. It has won several awards, including Best Social Awareness and Best Actor,” said Diana Webley, CTFF Festival Director. “The truth in this film is raw and the power is what emerges to encourage change after audiences watch what life has become for today’s children.” On September 23rd, “Love Regardless” (LGBTQ+ Night) heralds in Queer Coolie- tudes, an ethnographic documentary that examines the slur “coolie” through a powerful collection of testimonies. Directed by Michelle Mohabeer, this film embraces the complexities of Creole (mixed-race) identities, gender/genderqueer identity, age, and mobility which are portrayed in nuanced ways.

In what ways is this process inflected by race, ethnicity, class, and national identity? This course will investigate the crucial role of normative and “deviant” genders and sexualities in the history of cinema production, distribution, and reception. We will investigate the way audiovisual texts use formal means to make gender visible and the display of gender difference pleasurable. We will also consider the gendered politics of labor in film industries and the ways that genre systems (like the romantic comedy) produce gendered meanings and forms of address. The course will also investigate the ways that feminist, Indigenous, transgender, and queer filmmakers have inventively rethought cinema and video for poetic and political ends. Learning Outcomes By the end of this term, students will be able to: Give a nuanced account of gender and sexuality that takes into account historically- and geographically-specific meanings and a wide array of gender expressions and identities.

The Loews Hotel was designed by George Howe and William Lescaze and completed in 1932. It was the first skyscraper in the United States to represent the modernist, international style. To celebrate our unique conference site, this year’s theme is “Architectures of the Moving Image.” As you explore the conference program, you will find many papers that focus on issues of design in the media, from the center of the mainstream to the edges of the avant-garde, spanning pro- duction design in motion pictures, the construction of network television schedules, and the architecture of computer games and websites. In addition, you will see that we have organized an exciting plenary session for Saturday evening, featuring two outstanding scholars—Ackbar Abbas, comparativist and scholar of contemporary cultural globalization, and Anthony Vidler, architectural historian and theorist—who have written eloquently on issues directly related to our confer- ence theme. Please join me on Saturday evening in welcoming these distinguished scholars to the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. In advance of the plenary, I also encourage you to attend our annual Awards Ceremony on Thursday evening, which will be followed immediately by our opening reception. While the opening reception provides you with the opportunity to meet new friends and colleagues and reconnect with old ones, the Awards Ceremony showcases the outstanding achievements and contributions of members in our field.

  • In the Presence of Absence: Invisibility, Black Canadian History, and Melinda Mollineaux’S Pinhole Photography
    In the Presence of Absence: Invisibility, Black Canadian History, and Melinda Mollineaux’s Pinhole Photography Andrea Fatona University of Toronto Abstract: In the official history of Canada, alternative Black narratives often erase the complexities of Black Canadian experiences. This article examines the pinhole photographic work of Canadian artist Melinda Mollineaux, Cadboro Bay: Index to an Incomplete History, to discuss Mollineaux’s performative act of commemorating the forgotten place of Cadboro Bay, where Black people gath- ered to celebrate Emancipation Day in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The photographs in the series act as material reminders of this artist’s attempt to resurrect public memories of a time and place that are intimately tied to slavery and the diasporic movement of Black people. In so doing, the article discusses the dynamics of presence and absence and the significance of what is not seen in Mollineaux’s pictures. This article features online (http://www.cjc- online.ca) photographs of Melinda Mollineaux’s pinhole photography. Résumé : Au sein de l’histoire officielle du Canada, les récits alternatifs des Noirs passent souvent sous silence la complexité de l’expérience canadienne Noire. Cette étude examine l’oeuvre photographique de l’artiste canadienne Melinda Mollineaux, intitulée Cadboro Bay : Index to an Incomplete History. Le but de cette analyse est de considérer la pratique performative de Mollineaux qui commémore le site oublié de Cadboro Bay, un endroit où certains membres de la communauté Noire se sont rassemblés pour célébrer Emancipation Day à la fin du 19e et au début du 20e siècles. Cette série de photos sert de rappel physique des gestes posés par l’artiste afin de remémorer une époque et un lieu qui sont intimement liés à l’esclavagisme et à la dispersion du peuple de race noire.

As complex institutions, affective labour underpins the work of prograMMers and festivaL staff. As public events, fiLMs screened at festivaLs can be weLL- received pictures, poorly-reviewed flops, or events met with protest, controversy, and outbursts of public eMotion. The reLationship between these different types of eMotion, affect, and feeLing is a complex yet an often-overlooked aspect of fiLM festivaLs. This dissertation deveLops a theory of affect through the history of the queer and feMinist fiLM festivaLs on the Canadian Prairies from 1985 to 2005. Drawing on the vast colLection of public and private archives avaiLable on these festivaLs, as weLL as interviews and ethnography, I attend to the ways the region’s network of fiLM festivaLs have produced and have been produced by affect and how affects of dis/interest, disgust, shaMe, and happiness circulate within fiLM festivaL networks. The circulation and production of different affects at various points in these festivaL histories have had profound effects on how these festivaLs organize—from how organizers reLate to each other and to their publics, to the kinds of funding they accept and the politics of their prograMMing.
