But there’s no question in my mind about the vital role Reel Asian has played over the course of eight festivals in championing work that tends to get lost at other, bigger festivals. Exposing the local audience to films by emerging East and Southeast Asian filmmakers, particularly North American ones, has been central to Reel Asian’s programming mandate from the beginning. This year, we open with a film by Michael Kang, whose short film Japanese Cowboy was shown at Reel Asian back in 2000. We’re happy to be welcoming him back with his feature debut, The Motel. Reel Asian will once again play host to many visiting artists, who will be coming from Hong Kong, all over the U.S. and Canada, and our national spotlight country, Malaysia, to present their films. They will join a contingent of local filmmakers whose works we are proud to be showing before the hometown crowd. We also invite you to attend our two panel discussions – which are free and open to the public – featuring local and visiting artists who will share the stories behind their films. I’d like to thank the wonderful community of people in the 401 Richmond building, where the Reel Asian office is located, who have generously shared their time and knowledge with me as I’ve navigated the hazards of organizing my first festival. (Special thanks to everyone at Trinity Square Video!) I’d especially like to express my gratitude to my predecessor, Sally Lee, who left behind a festival with a strong reputation for bringing innovative works by Asian filmmakers to Toronto audiences; supporting Canadian filmmakers; and being the kind of organization to which volunteers and community willingly donate their time, enthusiasm and energy. The latter includes our board of directors, advisory, all those who sat on our Special Events, Screening and Corporate Development committees, and our incredible ‘volunteer’ staff (Aram, Tom, Nicole and Bryan). Lastly, this year’s event could not have happened without my tireless and dedicated colleagues, so to Grace and Raymond, thanks for always delivering more than was expected of you. As for being one of several festivals in town with “Reel” in our title … all I can say is: We thought of it first! Deanna Wong, Executive Director MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAMMER I’d like to begin this introduction by telling you how regretful I am. Regretful that there are still a ton of great recent Asians films that may never see the light of day here in Toronto. As a city with such a large and diverse Asian community, the lack of an opportunity to see such gems as Liu Jiayin’s Oxhide or Lee Yoon-ki’s This Charming Girl is a tragedy that is borderline criminal. We here at Reel Asian try our best to alleviate the situation by showing many of these cinematic nuggets. But as a small festival, our resources are limited, and even a five-day event such as this already stretches our budget and manpower to the max. As such, we are but a poor Coles Notes version of what an Asian film festival can be, especially in a city as big and as international as Toronto. But there is one thing that you can do to help. If you like the films we show, please tell others about us, and help us truly become a festival built by a community of film enthusiasts such as yourselves. In turn, we can grow and bring more fantastic works here for you to enjoy. Nothing would make a programmer like me happier than this. As for this year’s programme, I am very proud to present our National Spotlight on Malaysia. With the advent of adventurous, award-winning filmmakers such as Ho Yuhang and Yasmin Ahmad as well as the directors we are featuring, a focus on this new epicentre of innovative Asian cinema is more than warranted. Malaysia’s fame as a cultural hotpot is also reflected in our lineup, with one film in Malay, one in Chinese, and one in Tamil. A special thanks to Amir Muhammad for his incredibly generous help with the films. I also discuss our Canadian Artist Spotlight this year, Simon Chung, with a paragraph that introduces his shorts programme, Of Love and Minorities. Another highlight for me is No Chemistry Sets Allowed, our Experimental Shorts compilation. There are truly wonderful Asian and Asian- Canadian filmmakers working in this genre, and I’m delighted to have a programme dedicated to these unusual and astonishing films. Finally, I would like to thank the Screening Committee for their time, energy and general good taste in film. I wish everyone a happy festival viewing experience. If not, you know where to find me … Raymond Phathanavirangoon, Programmer reel 1 asian [REE 005] Programme Inside 10/26/05 10:24 AM Page 2 [REE 005] Programme Inside 10/26/05 10:24 AM Page 3 The National Film Board of Canada is proud to be part of the 9th Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival The Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival is a unique showcase for contemporary Asian cinema and work from the Asian diaspora. The Festival provides a vital public forum for home-grown Asian media artists and their work, and fuels the growing appreciation for Asian cinema in Canada. As Canada’s public film producer and distributor, we applaud your efforts and share your commitment to supporting new Canadian artists. At today’s NFB, we’re producing animated and documentary films from Canada’s Asian communities that reflect the true face of our nation today. We’re also working hard to ensure that these films are seen by the widest possible audiences, telling the stories and exploring the issues that are of importance to citizens everywhere. Enjoy the festival! Jacques Bensimon Government Film Commissioner and Chairperson of the National Film Board of Canada From urban life and dramatic landscapes to inspiring heroes and personal struggles, all this – and more – makes for distinctive Canadian storytelling. Fittingly, Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival has put together a diverse program of works that spotlights Canada, and other cultures from around the world. Part of celebrating outstanding Canadian productions is also recognizing the talent behind them, and Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival plays a valuable role in showcasing Canada’s creators and their productions. Canadian film continues to evolve as an art form that remains vibrant and alive by relying on the energies and ingenuity of a new generation. For these very reasons, and in the spirit of our commitment as cultural investor to help Canadian works reach audiences, Telefilm Canada is a proud sponsor of this festival. On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of Telefilm, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and invite you to discover what Canadian cinema has to offer. Congratulations to the organizers, volunteers and community whose hard work has helped make this edition of Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival possible. S.

Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow (Xu Jian) can attend an elite private school. Despite his father’s good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the “cool” toys stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky – the junk yard! While out “shopping” for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. Armed with his “CJ7” Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life.

  • Independent Cinema in the Chinese Film Industry
    Independent cinema in the Chinese film industry Tingting Song A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2010 Abstract Chinese independent cinema has developed for more than twenty years. Two sorts of independent cinema exist in China. One is underground cinema, which is produced without official approvals and cannot be circulated in China, and the other are the films which are legally produced by small private film companies and circulated in the domestic film market. This sort of ‘within-system’ independent cinema has played a significant role in the development of Chinese cinema in terms of culture, economics and ideology. In contrast to the amount of comment on underground filmmaking in China, the significance of ‘within-system’ independent cinema has been underestimated by most scholars. This thesis is a study of how political management has determined the development of Chinese independent cinema and how Chinese independent cinema has developed during its various historical trajectories. This study takes media economics as the research approach, and its major methods utilise archive analysis and interviews. The thesis begins with a general review of the definition and business of American independent cinema. Then, after a literature review of Chinese independent cinema, it identifies significant gaps in previous studies and reviews issues of traditional definition and suggests a new definition. i After several case studies on the changes in the most famous Chinese directors’ careers, the thesis shows that state studios and private film companies are two essential domestic backers for filmmaking in China.

  • Annual Report
    C M Y K Characteristics of the Growth Enterprise Market (‘‘GEM’’) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’) GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the Internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers. The Stock Exchange takes no responsibility for the contents of this report, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.

  • Creative Spaces Within Which People, Ideas and Systems Interact with Uncertain Outcomes
    GIMPEL, NIELSE GIMPEL, Explores new ways to understand the dynamics of change and mobility in ideas, people, organisations and cultural paradigms China is in flux but – as argued by the contributors to this volume – change is neither new to China nor is it unique to that country; similar patterns are found in other times and in other places. Indeed, Creative on the basis of concrete case studies (ranging from Confucius to the Vagina Monologues, from Protestant missionaries to the Chinese N & BAILEY avant-garde) and drawing on theoretical insights from different dis- ciplines, the contributors assert that change may be planned but the outcome can never be predicted with any confidence. Rather, there Spaces exist creative spaces within which people, ideas and systems interact with uncertain outcomes. As such, by identifying a more sophisticated Seeking the Dynamics of Change in China approach to the complex issues of change, cultural encounters and Spaces Creative so-called globalization, this volume not only offers new insights to scholars of other geo-cultural regions; it also throws light on the workings of our ‘global’ and ‘transnational’ lives today, in the past and in the future.
