Quick warning. Today's episode involves some discussion of sexual violence. It comes up early, and we wanted to give you a heads up. 00:00:08 Music Music Quiet music with melodic singing. 00:00:12 Ben Harrison Host The French title of today’s film is Rebelle, which is a true cognate: means the same in English as you would guess. But that’s not its English title, maybe because the word "rebel" has been so thoroughly monopolized in English by a single entertainment franchise. Rebels have graduated from bullseyeing womp rats in their T-16s and are now taking the fight to the Empire. But despite that near monopoly of association, it remains easy for the media to completely rob us of a nuanced understanding of a civil conflict by using the term "rebel" to describe one of the sides. It starts to evoke terms like "freedom fighters," which we've all been trained to mentally translate as "terrorists." In today’s film, our main character Komona feels so far from all of these definitions. She is a twelve-year-old girl, who is basically too young to be motivated by the forces we imagine inspire people to become rebels. In fact, it’s the rebels that completely wreck her life. Her coastal village is just sitting there minding its own business when they come collect the youngsters, force her to murder her family, and then spirit her away in a motorized tree trunk canoe to become a soldier for their cause. -

Bureaucrats and Movie Czars: Canada's Feature Film Policy Since
Media Industries 4.2 (2017) DOI: 10.3998/mij.15031809.0004.204 Bureaucrats and Movie Czars: Canada’s Feature Film Policy since 20001 Charles Tepperman2 UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY c.tepperman [AT] ucalgary.ca Abstract: This essay provides a case study of one nation’s efforts to defend its culture from the influx of Hollywood films through largely bureaucratic means and focused on the increasingly outdated metric of domestic box-office performance. Throughout the early 2000s, Canadian films accounted for only around 1 percent of Canada’s English-language market, and were seen by policy makers as a perpetual “problem” that needed to be fixed. Similar to challenges found in most film-producing countries, these issues were navigated very differently in Canada. This period saw the introduction of a new market-based but cultural “defense” oriented approach to Canadian film policy. Keywords: Film Policy, Production, Canada Introduction For over a century, nearly every film-producing nation has faced the challenge of competing with Hollywood for a share of its domestic box office. How to respond to the overwhelming flood of expensively produced and slickly marketed films that capture most of a nation’s eye- balls? One need not be a cultural elitist or anti-American to point out that the significant presence of Hollywood films (in most countries more than 80 percent) can severely restrict the range of films available and create barriers to the creation and dissemination of home- grown content.3 Diana Crane notes that even as individual nations employ cultural policies to develop their film industries, these efforts “do not provide the means for resisting American domination of the global film market.”4 In countries like Canada, where the government plays a significant role in supporting the domestic film industry, these challenges have political and Media Industries 4.2 (2017) policy implications. -
First Nation Filmmakers from Around the World 10
MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 11.00am WEDNESDAY 10 MAY 2017 FIRST NATION FILMMAKERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD The 64th Sydney Film Festival (7–18 June) in partnership with Screen Australia’s Indigenous Department proudly continues support for First Nation storytelling from Australia and around the world. Leading First Nation Australian directors will premiere their new works at the Festival, including Warwick Thornton’s Opening Night film and Official Competition contender We Don’t Need a Map, and Wayne Blair and Leah Purcell’s highly anticipated second series of Cleverman. “Sydney Film Festival is committed to showcasing First Nation filmmakers and storytelling,” said Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “Throughout the Festival audiences will find examples of outstanding Indigenous cinema, from the red sands of Western Australia to the snowy landscapes of the Arctic Circle. These films promise to surprise, provoke and push boundaries.” “We're proud to continue our partnership with Sydney Film Festival to showcase these powerful documentaries from the world's leading Indigenous filmmakers, as well as premiere the innovative work of emerging new talent from around the country,” said Penny Smallacombe, Head of Indigenous at Screen Australia. “We are very pleased to see five films commissioned by NITV take their place alongside such prestigious works from across the world,” said Tanya Orman, NITV Channel Manager. Two important Australian First Nation documentaries will also have their premieres at the Festival. Connection to Country, directed by Tyson Mowarin, about the Indigenous people of the Pilbara’s battle to preserve Australia’s 40,000-year-old cultural heritage from the ravages of mining, and filmmaker Erica Glynn’s raw, heartfelt and funny journey of adult Aboriginal students and their teachers as they discover the transformative power of reading and writing for the first time (In My Own Words). -

But Tomas, now 14 years old, was born and raised in his mother’s native city of Montreal and never knew much about his origins. Tomas is bright, strong, and curious about his father’s culture, but his father is no longer around to show him the way. For Tomas’s mother and Inuit family, the joy of his homecoming is mixed with memories of a brief and painful chapter in their shared history. Over the course of two weeks that seem to blend into one long day under the midnight sun, Anna and Thomas strive to reconnect with the family they can no longer ignore. For more information please write to: [email protected] The characters of Anna and Tomas were not DIRECTOR'S inspired by anyone in particular, but there are many families like theirs in the world today: NOTE | separated, mixed-blood children discovering their roots and shaping their identities; grandparents connecting with newly found grandchildren; and adults trying to mend broken relationships. -
