Ciecko, Chair ________________________________________________ Martin F. Norden, Member ________________________________________________ Jonathan R. Wynn, Member Mari Castañeda, Department Chair Department of Communication ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor Anne T. Ciecko for her guidance, support, and patience throughout my years at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It has been a great pleasure for me to have long meetings and wonderful conversations with her. Every single aspect of this project benefitted immensely from her close reading of the material and thoughtful comments. I am inspired by the extraordinary sophistication of her scholarship and her enthusiasm for cinema, it has been a true privilege for me to work with her. I would also like to thank members of the dissertation committee Martin F. Norden and Jonathan R. Wynn for their insightful feedback and continued support throughout the entire process from the prospectus stage to the end result. This study has evolved in many interesting directions following our fruitful conversations. The fourth chapter, in which quantitative data and statistical methods are utilized, underwent multiple changes following meetings with Qiong Chen from the Institute for Social Science Research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I would like to thank her for being such a helpful consultant and sharing her impressive quantitative expertise with me. I am also grateful to Michael Morgan, who contributed greatly to the initial conception of this project with his mastery of quantitative research methods and even offered valuable guidance right before his well-deserved retirement. A substantial part of chapter three was written during my time at the Dissertation Writing Retreat organized by the Writing Center at the university. I would like to thank the Center for organizing this useful program and allowing me to take part in it. !iv This project was financially supported by various institutions and initiatives on campus. I would like to thank the Department of Communication for awarding this study the 2017 Anca Romantan Graduate International Research Award, without which an essential part of my fieldwork would not have been possible. Most of the data used in chapters two and three was collected during a different segment of my fieldwork, which was made possible by a Dissertation Research Grant provided by the Graduate School at the University of Massachusetts. I wrote substantial parts of chapters one, two, and five using the Summer Dissertation Fellowship, awarded jointly by the Department of Communication and the Graduate School. I am thankful to all the individuals and committees who made this project possible by granting me these awards and fellowships. A project of this nature necessitates the institutional support of multiple agents on the global film festival circuit. I would like to thank the press offices of the Berlin International Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival for granting me access to screenings, facilitating my interviews with several filmmakers, and inviting me to participate in various initiatives. I also extend my thanks to the editors of the Altyazi Monthly Cinema Magazine in Turkey for providing me with press credentials and publishing my film criticism work in their wonderful magazine for many years. Alain Gomis, Claudia Llosa, Matias Mariani, Julia Murat, Benjamin Naishtat, and John Trengove agreed to devote their valuable time to this study (often during festivals where time is the most precious and scarce commodity) and participated in interviews. I would like to thank all of them for their generosity and their willingness to share their experiences with me. Benjamin Domenech from Rei Cine, Giulia Fazioli from Makna !v Presse, Rubaica Jaliwala from Berlinale Talents (Talent Campus at the time), Federico Mancini from Film Press Plus, and Gary Walsh from Alibi Communications provided me with contact information for these filmmakers and, in some cases, scheduled the interviews. I would like to thank all of them for their cooperation. Most of all, I am forever grateful to my mother and my brother for always being together with me regardless of how many thousands of miles may ‘separate’ us. Given the rather unusual trajectory of my academic life, there have been many important turning points along the way and not all of my decisions seemed to make sense at all times. In those moments, the deep love we always share has been my biggest support. I owe all my happiness, everything that brings me joy in life, to them. !vi ABSTRACT A MULTI-METHOD ANALYSIS OF THE BERLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AND THE WORLD CINEMA FUND MAY 2018 EREN ODABASI, B.S., BOGAZICI UNIVERSITY M.A., BOGAZICI UNIVERSITY Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by Professor Anne T. Ciecko The functions festivals fulfill within contemporary film culture extend beyond the exhibition and circulation of completed films; many festivals around the world have gradually attained the role of a film producer in the past two decades. This dissertation investigates the relationship between a major film festival and a European program that provides financial support for film production in developing countries. With a particular focus on the World Cinema Fund, associated with the Berlin International Film Festival, this study traces the common stylistic and thematic preoccupations observed across a wide range of Latin American, African, and Southeast Asian films partially financed by European festival funds. Textual analyses of recent films that have celebrated their premieres in major festivals after benefitting from these initiatives bring to light a prevalence of narratives about hybrid identities and mobility between cultures, as well as an emphasis on highly ceremonial events and rituals with clear patterns of accepted behavior. Interviews with directors whose films are associated with the World Cinema !vii Fund complement this analysis by offering a first-hand glimpse into the process of financing and realizing feature film projects under restrictive conditions. A major part of the analysis introduces quantitative data and statistical methods to the study of film festivals, testing for the impact of funding structures of films on their presence in festivals, and for the link between the reception of films on the festival circuit and their commercial prospects. This exploration of film festivals and related financial programs reveals that transnational funds based in Europe, instead of contributing to the sustained development of film production in the Global South through investments in infrastructure, prefer to engage in temporary, project-based transactions which ensure the continuous flow of films suitable for festival selection. When combined together, these findings contribute to a broader, multifaceted understanding of funds associated with film festivals, which offers a critical perspective on the hierarchical power dynamics that lie at the core of this practice. !viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv ABSTRACT vii LIST OF TABLES xi LIST OF FIGURES xii CHAPTER INTRODUCTION 1 1.

She told me the main character (light skin, wide forehead), the locations (university, sports stadium, empty temple, mountain), and the elements (the moon and the water). RI: The backdrops of much of your work accentuate feelings of aloneness and isolation from others. Films like Tropical Malady (2004) and Worldly Desires (2005) traverse remote recesses of distant, even enchanted jungles. In FAITH (2006), you leave earth entirely in search of greater solitude in outer space. You seem interested in or at least drawn to obscure or enigmatic sites that have been left relatively unexplored, untouched, unimagined… AW: That’s what I got from the movies. When you are in a dark theater, your mind drifts and travels. In my hometown when I was growing up, there was nothing. The movie theater was a sanctuary where I was mostly addicted to spectacular and disaster films. Now, as a filmmaker, I am trying to search for similar feelings of wonder, of dreams. It’s quite a personal and isolated experience. Tropical Malady is more about a journey into one’s mind rather than Apichatpong Weerasethakul a real jungle. Or sometimes it is a feeling of “watching” movies. RI: Can you speak about your use of old tales and mythologies in your work? What significance do they hold for you? AW: It’s in the air. Thailand’s atmosphere is unique. It might be hard to understand for foreigners.

Despite the challenges we and the industry are facing, we are optimistic about 2021. This is because we love cinema and good films and series – and particularly in these difficult times, they are also some­ thing that is needed by audiences around the world. Time and again in recent years, German feature films and series have succeeded in captivating viewers abroad, and we are confident that this will be the case in 2021 as well. In particular, the new wave of German documentaries is establishing itself increasingly as a favourite with international audiences. We are just as proud of the German Films campaign FACE TO FACE, which has been in existence for six years now, and delighted that we will be able to continue it with a great new pool of talent in 2021 – despite the difficult current conditions. Films and series are created through the work of a large team, which is why we have decided to highlight a greater diversity of film professions in 2021 and are proudly presenting the premiere of our new faces in this issue of GFQ. German Films Quarterly will broaden its format in 2021: We will also open our publication to contri­ butions dealing with internationally controversial topics in the film industry.

    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C.

Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

  • 1 GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY VISITING FILM SERIES April 29
    GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY VISITING FILM SERIES April 29, 2020 I am pleased to be here to talk about my role as Deputy Director of the Washington, DC International Film Festival, more popularly known as Filmfest DC, and as Director of the Arabian Sights Film Festival. I would like to start with a couple of statistics: We all know that Hollywood films dominate the world’s movie theaters, but there are thousands of other movies made around the globe that most of us are totally unaware of or marginally familiar with. India is the largest film producing nation in the world, whose films we label “Bollywood”. India produces around 1,500 to 2,000 films every year in more than 20 languages. Their primary audience is the poor who want to escape into this imaginary world of pretty people, music and dancing. Amitabh Bachchan is widely regarded as the most famous actor in the world, and one of the greatest and most influential actors in world cinema as well as Indian cinema. He has starred in at least 190 movies. He is a producer, television host, and former politician. He is also the host of India’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Nigeria is the next largest film producing country and is also known as “Nollywood”, producing almost 1000 films per year. That’s almost 20 films per week. The average Nollywood movie is produced in a span of 7-10 days on a budget of less than $20,000. Next comes Hollywood. Last year, 786 films were released in U.S.
