The Anishinaabe Miikaans, or Indian Trail, has a 12-foot sign pole that was carved by Josh Homminga, Ed Cook and Biron, which is placed above the trailhead. Biron hopes to pay tribal elders or carpenters to help carve and place the other signs he has planned, depicting tribal clans, along the length of the mile- and-a-quarter trail at the culture camp. In addition to funding sign construction, the monies raised will be used for landscaping and other camp activities. Biron plans to establish a board to determine what donated monies are used for. “I would like to have someone from the education field, financial expert, traditional people and two youth – one boy and one girl – sit on the board. We will have an application process and I will be seeking advice from tribal elders and the culture committee. I want people who will be on the board for the long haul – who will commit to seven genera- tions of funding for the camp,” said Biron. Those who donate to the fund will receive a button stating, “I support the Mary Murray Culture Camp” and a certificate of appreciation. Donations of $25 and more will get your name placed on a donation wall at the camp. The culture camp is used year-round for many different activ- ities including: staff meetings, trainings, and cultural workshops including language, drum making, smoking fish and sugar bush. Biron says he has also had the opportunity to bring foreign visi- Photo by Brenda Austin tors from around the world on tours of the camp.

  • Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film
    Lives in Limbo: Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film Sarah Casey Benyahia A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies University of Essex October 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which contemporary cinema from a range of different countries, incorporating a variety of styles and genres, explores the relationship to the past of people living in the present who are affected by traumatic national histories. These films, which I’ve grouped under the term ‘temporal gateway’, focus on the ways in which characters’ experiences of temporality are fragmented, and cause and effect relationships are loosened as a result of their situations. Rather than a recreation of historical events, these films are concerned with questions of how to remember the past without being defined and trapped by it: often exploring past events at a remove through techniques of flashback and mise-en-abyme. This thesis argues that a fuller understanding of how relationships to the past are represented in what have traditionally been seen as different ‘national’ cinemas is enabled by the hybridity and indeterminacy of the temporal gateway films, which don’t fit neatly into existing categories discussed and defined in memory studies. This thesis employs an interdisciplinary approach in order to draw out the features of the temporal gateway film, demonstrating how the central protagonist, the character whose life is in limbo, personifies the experience of living through the past in the present. This experience relates to the specifics of a post-trauma society but also to a wider encounter with disrupted temporality as a feature of contemporary life.

  • “Golden Age”: Sônia Braga, Gael García Bernal, and Ricardo Darín
    New Latin-American Stardom, the local/global stars of Latin American Cinema’s new “Golden Age”: Sônia Braga, Gael García Bernal, and Ricardo Darín Dolores Tierney, Victoria Ruétalo and Roberto Carlos Ortiz Editors’ Introduction The Latin American star system, like that in other regions, has emulated the Hollywood model in large measure because of its power to mobilize movie-going audiences. Various contributors to this collection have underscored particular ways in which regional film cultures have borrowed certain of Hollywood’s strategies to promote local star culture. Maite Conde’s discussion of fan magazines in Brazil in the 1920s (see Chapter 5), for instance, provides an early example of the ways the Hollywood star paradigm self-consciously served local interests in shaping a Brazilian national audience. Similarly, in Chapter 23 Alejandro Kelly’s focus on photography in star construction and the commercial promotion of particular stars helps us better appreciate the rich visual influence of cinema in shaping popular tastes and commodity culture in the region. In recent decades, with seminal works by Viera, López, Paranaguá and Tuñón, Latin American star studies have expanded their scope, generating sophisticated discourses on the ways in which individual stars maneuver their celebrity persona within the social, cultural and even moral projects of national and transnational communities. The authors of this chapter argue for a substantive alteration of that meta-discourse on stardom in which key Latin America actors are seen as not merely as ‘star texts’ but, to extend the metaphor, as centers of 1 ‘constellations’ of intermedial artistic and market networks in ways that transcend their status as mere entertainers.

Upon reading the first chapter, the director immediately recognized the book’s potential for a cinema adaptation. The work presents intimate and personal accounts of adolescents who found in prostitution a way to survive. While the book narrates the lives of six girls, the script of Stolen Dreams portrays three characters. The protagonists of the feature film – Jessica, Sabrina and Daiane – live in a low-income community in Rio de Janeiro. Their daily lives are similar to those of many young women in other regions of Brazil, where dysfunctional families, early pregnancy, domestic violence, lack of education and the banalization of life are common factors.
