The stunning success, both locally and internationally, of his low-budget debut as an independent director, Made in Hong Kong, has ensured that Chan’s reputation will always be tied to that film. Yet Durian Durian has much to offer the lover of Hong Kong cinema and the admirer of Fruit Chan’s work. A post-1997 film set both in Hong Kong and mainland China, with mainland Chinese protagonists, the film is a fine example of a Hong Kong tradition of socially sensitive realist films focused on the low-caste outsider, and is the result of a maturing director’s attempt to articulate the new, often still contradictory, realities of ‘one country, two systems’ in action.

  • Conceptual Sphere of Modern Cinema (A Study of Headline Complexes of 21St - Century European and Asian Movies)
    DOI: 10.308161ICONN412017166 Conceptual sphere of modern cinema (a study of headline complexes of 21st - century European and Asian movies) Elena Gudeleva, Ekaterina Sudarkina Vladimir State University, Russia Abstract: This article aims to reveal the conceptual sphere of modern cinema dis- course in Europe and Asia by analyzing movie headline complexes. More than two thousand original movie titles and slogans of 21st-century films presented at the largest festivals are studied. The main concepts man( , opposition, love, house and nature) are pointed out and explained. In addition to the detailed theoretical commentary, the paper shows how the cinema headline complex con- centrates intertextual and non-textual associations, and carries information about authors’ intentions and tastes of moviegoers who are the target audience for the interpreter. Keywords: headline complex, concept, cinema discourse, translation, linguocul- tural analysis Introduction The headline complex (all the elements of the frame text grouped around a work’s title)1 takes on such functions as nominative, evaluative and expressive, infor- mative, and advertising. It is aimed at helping people navigate in a large stream of data in a more flexible manner. The linguistic base in cinematography is a relatively new and regularly expanded section of onomastics. In Western science cinematographic names and other non-textual elements are studied within the terminological framework of the paratext theory formulated in the 1980s by Gerard Genette and several other research- ers (Robert Stam; Nicole Janin-Foucher) and also within the framing theory suggested by Erving Goffman Frame( Analysis, 1974) and Werner Wolf with the contributors to his anthology (2006), who have tried to apply it to media.

The convergence of neoliberalism, institutionalization of pan-Chinese documentary films and the historical marginalization of women’s filmmaking in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), respectively, have further perpetuated the marginalization of documentary films by local female filmmakers.
