Barcelona, May 2013 HOLLYWOOD FILMS IN THE NON-WESTERN WORLD: WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOLLOWED BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WHEN CHOOSING HOLLYWOOD FILM IMPORTS? Marta Forns Escudé Abstract: This dissertation argues that the Government of the People’s Republic of China, when it made the decision to import a quota of Hollywood films in 1994 to revive the failing domestic film industry, had different possible criteria in mind. This project has studied four of them: first, importing films that gave a negative image of the United States; second, impor- ting films that featured Chinese talent or themes; third, importing films that were box office hits in the United States; and fourth, importing films with a strong technological innovation ingredient. In order to find out the most important criteria for the Chinese Government, this dissertation offers a dataset that analyzes a population of 262 Hollywood films released in the PRC between 1994 and 2010.

  • Transcript Michel Gondry
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH MICHEL GONDRY Michel Gondry is one of the most creative contemporary directors, known for his astonishingly inventive style that combines complex technological innovation with an almost childlike playfulness, and an ability to move fluidly between dream and reality. Gondry has directed feature films (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind, The Science of Sleep), documentaries (Dave Chappelle's Block Party), music videos for Bjork, Radiohead, The White Stripes, and Daft Punk, and numerous award-winning commercials. He is also an installation artist who has been featured at Deitch Projects. In this conversation with Chief Curator David Schwartz, Gondry discusses his remarkable career. A Pinewood Dialogue with Michel Gondry draw. And we started a band in maybe ’81, ’82, that moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz lasted ten years; it was called Oui Oui. I had done (May 9, 2008): some experimentation with animation at an earlier age, and then one day I bought a film camera—I DAVID SCHWARTZ: Please welcome the birthday mean, I was flatmates with my friend Jean-Louis boy, Michel Gondry. (Applause) So what do you Bompoint, who is my DP now. He had some think of when you watch these videos; do you think equipment and he was a director, so he helped me of how hard they were to make? a little bit. That’s how it started. I was doing two minute animated pieces to fit our music, because MICHEL GONDRY: No, actually. I was thinking that the songs were quite minimalist and short, so they they look alright.

I had not worked with Dr. Hagemann before this process; she took a chance on me by becoming my advisor. I thought that I would be unable to pursue an honors thesis. By being my advisor, she made this experience possible. Her interest and dedication to my work exceeded my expectations. My thesis greatly benefited from her input. Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and believing in my work. Thank you to my roommates, Julia Wunder, Waverly Leonard, and Jamie Antinori, for being so supportive. They understood when I could not be social and continued to be there for me. They saw more of the actual writing of this thesis than anyone else. Thank you for being great listeners and wonderful friends. Thank you also to my parents, Joe and Krista Brady, for their unwavering encouragement and trust in my judgment. I would also like to thank my sister, Mahlon Brady, for being willing to hear about subjects that are out of her sphere of interest.

  • BABEL and the GLOBAL HOLLYWOOD GAZE Deborah Shaw
    02_shaw:SITUATIONS 10/16/11 12:40 PM Page 11 BABEL AND THE GLOBAL HOLLYWOOD GAZE Deborah Shaw BABEL AND THE GLOBAL HOLLYWOOD GAZE n popular imaginaries, “world cinema” and Hollywood commercial cinema appear to be two opposing forms of filmic production obeying Idiverse political and aesthetic laws. However, definitions of world cin- ema have been vague and often contradictory, while some leftist discourses have a simplistic take on the evils of reactionary Hollywood, seeing it in rather monolithic terms. In this article, I examine some of the ways in which the term “world cinema” has been used, and I explore the film Babel (2006), the last of the three films of the collaboration between the Mexicans Alejandro González Iñárritu and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga.1 Babel sets out to be a new sort of film that attempts to create a “world cinema” gaze within a commercial Hollywood framework. I exam- ine how it approaches this and ask whether the film succeeds in this attempt. I explore the tensions between progressive and conservative political agendas, and pay particular attention to the ways “other” cul- tures are seen in a film with “Third World” pretensions and U.S money behind it. I frame my analysis around a key question: does the Iñárritu-led outfit successfully create a paradigmatic “transnational world cinema” text that de-centers U.S. hegemony, or is this a utopian project doomed to failure in a film funded predominantly by major U.S. studios?2 I examine the ways in which the film engages with the tourist gaze and ask whether the film replaces this gaze with a world cinema gaze or merely reproduces it in new ways.
