All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema by HSIN-NING CHANG has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Erin Schlumpf Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT CHANG, HSIN-NING, Ph.D., April 2017, Interdisciplinary Arts Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema Director of dissertation: Erin Schlumpf This dissertation argues that the alternative digital movies that emerged in the early 21st century Malaysia have become a part of the Malaysian national cinema. This group of movies includes independent feature-length films, documentaries, short and experimental films and videos. They closely engage with the unique conditions of Malaysia’s economic development, ethnic relationships, and cultural practices, which together comprise significant understandings of the nationhood of Malaysia. The analyses and discussions of the content and practices of these films allow us not only to recognize the economic, social, and historical circumstances of Malaysia, but we also find how these movies reread and rework the existed imagination of the nation, and then actively contribute in configuring the collective entity of Malaysia. 4 DEDICATION To parents, family, friends, and cats in my life 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Prof.

    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. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. 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.

    Southern Nigerian Cinema Author: Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 2 by Añulika Agina

    Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema Author: Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 2 By Añulika Agina Copyright: Genevieve Nnaji/TEN - The Entertainment Network Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 3 By Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema A significant amount of literature exists on the southern Nigerian cinema, which was inaugurated with the 1992 Igbo-language film, Living in Bondage. Little is known and documented about the colonial cinema of Nigeria and the period immediately after colonial rule. Although films were made in the 1970s and 1980s by filmmakers such as Eddie Ugboma, Ola Balogun and Ladi Ladebo, such films and critical analyses about them are not readily accessible. Hyginus Ekwuazi, Jonathan Haynes and Onookome Okome (see texts below) have written excellent accounts of the history of Nigerian cinema, especially of the Nollywood boom and the socio- cultural contexts that gave rise to them. The film industry in southern Nigeria is today the largest in Africa, producing over a thousand film titles per annum with locally sourced funds and distributed internationally. Foreign investment in Nigerian film is on the rise given the visibility that local productions have created at home and abroad. The government has also taken notice of the commercial viability of the industry and pledged billions of naira through the Bank of Industry to support the film business. The films receive critical acclaim and are commercial hits within Africa and among Africans in the diaspora. The sections below provide some critical texts and film titles to guide new comers to the nature and scholarship on the Nigerian film industry. The lists are by no means exhaustive; they only serve as a tip of the iceberg in the hope that interested parties can request additional information by emailing aa207@ soas.ac.uk or [email protected] Some Key Texts Ekwuazi, H.

    Women in East Asian Cinema a Chinese Film Forum UK Conference HOME, Manchester 4

    Women in East Asian Cinema A Chinese Film Forum UK Conference HOME, Manchester 4 – 6 December, 2019 Recent interventions into global film and processes of canonisation have worked to highlight the contributions of women in spaces and discourses previously dominated by men. Yet, despite these social and academic movements, women remain under-represented across vital areas of film culture as recent discussions of the 2019 Oscars and the 2018 Cannes Film Festival have shown. This event aims to highlight the increasing English-language research of contributions by self-identifying women in East Asian cinema and to interrogate questions of representation, labour, and production contexts. For English speaking fans, academics and researchers based outside of East Asia, this work is all the more important as a counter to the limiting and selective problems of international film festivals and regional distribution. This three-day conference seeks to bring together researchers of women in East Asian cinema for a mix of panels, workshops, and film events with industry guests to continue and develop these ongoing conversations. The event is hosted as a collaboration between the Chinese Film Forum UK (CFFUK), a Manchester-based collective, and HOME, Manchester's leading independent cross-art venue and cinema. 2019 marks ten years since ‘Visible Secrets: Hong Kong's Women Filmmakers’: a film season that was organised by a nascent CFFUK at HOME's old Cornerhouse venue. This year also marks HOME's year-long programming initiative ‘Celebrating Women in Global Cinema’ which continues the celebratory, research-led and consciousness raising work of that original Visible Secrets project.
