A great deal of labored emoting takes place between Nikki Hsieh (謝欣穎) and Bryan Chang (張書豪), both emerging but still minor talents in Chinese-language cinema. Although the film is being endorsed by Hou Andrea Arnold’s second movie is Hsiao-hsien, to get a real taste of Taiwanese cinema, it might be best to prime yourself for the 12-day Hou Hsiao-hsien Retrospective titled a tour de force of social realism The Best of Times (最好的時光 — 侯孝賢電影經典重現), which is scheduled to open on Monday (see below). BY A. O. SCOTT NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE, NEW YORK Hou Hsiao-hsien Retrospective The Best of Times (最好的時光—侯孝賢電影經典重現) The mini-festival presents 11 works by Taiwan’s preeminent cinematic auteur, to be screened at the Wonderful Theater (真善 美戲院, formerly the Majestic) and the auditorium of the National Taiwan University of the Arts (國立台灣藝術大 學).

Baxter © 2008 Patrick D. Baxter Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2008 This thesis of Patrick D. Baxter was reviewed and approved* by the following: Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of the Department of Telecommunications Thesis Adviser Amit Schejter Assistant Professor of the Department of Telecommunications C. Michael Elavsky Assistant Professor of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies John S. Nichols Professor of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This project is a comparative case-study of the U.S. and Korean (South Korea) film industries along historical, structural, and financial dimensions. The genesis of this thesis came through an overall fascination with the film industry globally as nations compete and cooperate with each other, as well as contend with the dominance of the U.S. film industry. It uses the industrial organization model focusing primarily on "market structure." Further, it applies A.J. Scott’s bipartite (major, independent) and tripartite (major, subsidiary, independent) models of the U.S. film industry. The analysis is mainly descriptive being informed by historical development. To elaborate on market structure, samples of studio/mainstream and independent films were collected in both the U.S. and Korean film industries. The samples were analyzed along production company affiliation, distribution affiliation, sources of funding, and other elements.

Film and television have contributed to the creation of the imaginative, independent and diverse societythat we project to ourselves and to the world. • Over the last thirty years, government has ensured the delivery of minimum levels of Australian content to Australian audiences through a framework consisting of the twin interventions ofregulation and subsidy. • The success ofthe industry has been built upon the skills and the creativity of Australians and the successful application offunding and appropriate policies by successive governments. This positions Australia to benefit from the opportunities that will come from digital content creation in a converging media world. However, these benefits are not assured without further work by the industry and continued resourcing and policy development by government. • Australian audiovisual sector revenue in 1999/2000 was $7.247 billion. This figure includes television (including the public broadcasters), cinema (including associated revenue such as advertising and food sales), video sales and rentals, subscription television and electronic games.

    Waterman/Internet TV Internet TV: Business Models and Program Content by David Waterman Dept. of Telecommunications Radio and TV Center 1229 E. 7th St. Indiana University 812-855-6170 [email protected] Revised September, 2001 Paper for presentation to the 29th Annual TPRC Research Conference on Information, Communication, and Internet Policy, Washington, D.C., October 27-29, 2001 This paper is forthcoming in Darcy Gerbarg (ed.), IPTV (tentative title), Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2002. An earlier version was published as D. Waterman (2001), The Economics of Internet Television, Info: The Journal of Policy, Regulation and Strategy for Communications, Information, and the Media, Vol. 3, No. 3. I am especially indebted to Andrew Odlyzko, Ben Compaine, Robert LaRose, and to participants at the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information “TV Over the Internet” conferences in New York (November 2000) and Dusseldorf (December 2000), for their comments. 1 Waterman/Internet TV Internet TV: Business Models and Program Content Abstract Internet technology should eventually provide important improvements over established media not only in the efficiency of broadband delivery, and of particular importance, in the efficiency of business models that can be used to collect money for that programming. I identify five economic characteristics of Internet technology that should lead to these greater efficiencies: (1) lower delivery costs and reduced capacity constraints, (2) more efficient interactivity, (3) more efficient advertising and sponsorship, (4) more efficient direct pricing and bundling, and (5) lower costs of copying and sharing. The most successful Internet TV business models are likely to involve syndication to or from other media, and also international distribution.

Hollywood developed a highly successful industrial system that has functioned well for almost a century in the sense that it enabled the Major film studios to largely control and dominate the industry. However, the new digital technology may now be propelling Hollywood toward the biggest technological transition since the creation of the studio system almost a century ago. For example, Major Hollywood studios are already beginning to provide video-on-demand (VOD) digital distribution of movies over the Internet.

Daily Journal Newswire Articles www.dailyjournal.com © 2010 The Daily Journal Corporation. All rights reserved. • select Print from the File menu above PERSPECTIVE • Jan. 25, 2010 Clash of the Titans: Viacom v. YouTube By David Given It began as a war of words. The media and entertainment giant Viacom was an early skeptic of YouTube, the video sharing Web site that launched in November 2005. Viacom objected that YouTube's service was facilitating the reproduction, broadcasting and other distribution of copyrighted content without the owner's authority. That objection employed an easily understood optic in the much publicized legal battle over Napster, the music sharing Web site, which produced a strong decision by the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in favor of content owners. YouTube responded by accusing the content owners of giving with one hand while taking away with the other. Content owners' "marketing departments are uploading content directly to the [YouTube] site," accused one YouTube founder, "while on the other side of the company their attorney is demanding we remove this content." Looking back to that time, Viacom certainly had the most to lose among the major content providers as its copyrighted content migrated to the Internet. For years Viacom dominated the so-called "youth market" on cable television. In 2005, these cable networks - MTV, VH-1, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central - were extraordinarily valuable brands and (unlike YouTube) consistently profitable, taking down hefty license fees from the cable system providers in addition to substantial advertising revenue.
