  • Reading the Intersection of Racial and Sexual Marginalization in Rex Vs Singh and Seeking Single White Male
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2019 2019, Vol. 6, No. 1, 1-14 ISSN: 2149-1291 Confronting Ambiguity: Reading the Intersection of Racial and Sexual Marginalization in Rex vs Singh and Seeking Single White Male Yilong Liu1, Soyang Park2 OCAD University, Toronto, Canada This qualitative study of two Canadian films examines how filmmakers and artists explore racial and sexual marginalization and repression in Canada through an in-depth analysis of the films’ visual, textual, and sonic elements. Rex vs Singh (Greyson et al., 2008) and Seeking Single White Male (Shraya, 2010), using diverse cinematic devices and self-enacting performances, address different intersecting modes of racial and sexual marginalization against South Asian immigrants in historical and contemporary Canada. Using Louis Althusser’s concepts of Repressive State Apparatuses (RSAs) and Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) as a key framework, we identify “ambiguity” as a critical space to explore and examine the operation of the state policy (RSAs) in the early 20th century, and workings of the invisible ideology (white normativity) through enlisting their subjects to internalize the norm (ISAs) at present. This discussion is followed by an evaluation of how filmmakers and artists mobilize their “differential consciousness” (Chela Sandoval) to confront these ambiguities as mobile tactics that complement the ongoing race and gender liberation movements. Rather than providing definitive results or solutions, this research aids understanding of the continuing struggles of racialized sexual minorities in Canada—a country that has constitutionalized multiculturalism in 1971—in light of Canada’s 150th celebration (2017). Keywords: queer, gender and sexuality, film, ethnic studies, ambiguity.

  • Corporate Profile
    Fae Pictures Inc. @FaePictures Los Angeles | Toronto +1 323 400 0610 www.faepictures.com [email protected] CORPORATE PROFILE The global media landscape today is ripe for a production company to declaratively operate with a modus operandi to DECOLONIZE HOLLYWOOD. Enter Fae Pictures. Founded in 2017 in Toronto & Los Angeles, Fae Pictures is a storytelling production company with a mandate to “Engage audiences with stories rooted in the perspectives of the Other.” We are committed to developing, producing, and delivering stories in a variety of mediums that impact the hearts and minds of audiences, while maximizing private investment through strategic packaging, government-based incentives, and innovative storytelling practices. Loosely defined under the categories of LGBTQ+, people of color, women, and differently-abled people, the Other encompasses a community of storytellers and audiences that have been wholly underserved in the motion picture industry, and one that we seek to have a strong and integral relationship with. The company’s strategy for employing its model has three key tenets that have been culled through experience in a disruptive and innovative media environment: 1. Engaging stories – Invest a majority of Fae Pictures’ capital into the curatorial and selective development, production, and exploitation of a lucrative catalogue of high-quality original stories; 2. Engaging audiences – Find the most effective and innovative means and medium of telling each story that not only reaches audiences, but keeps them actively invested as opposed to passively interested; 3. Engaging the Other – Work with under-represented talent and audiences domestically and internationally in marginalized spaces including the LGBTQ, people of color, women, and people who are differently-abled communities.

  • Three ,Modest Prop Canadian Film "In by John Harkness
    Three ,Modest Prop Canadian Film "In by John Harkness After looking at it for a long time, I've decided that Canadian Cinema is just fine. We make excep- tional films like Jesus de Montreal, Dead Ringers and Thirty-two Short Films About Glenn Gould. We • make interesting films like Masala. We make deadly dull films like The Lotus Eaters and The Burning Season. In the long run, it doesn't matter much what anyone says about the film industry, which will continue to lumber slowly along, much as it has for the past decade or so. Instead, I've decided to offer a series of proposals that I think would do the film business and the Canadian soul a world of good. They will no doubt be ignored. I prefer to think of myself as being ahead of my time. CLOSE ALL FILM SCHOOLS FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS We have more filmmakers than we have projects for them to make, yet our film schools keep churning out little baby directors. Jean Renoir, Kenji Mizoguchi, David Lean, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Orson Welles, Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Billy Wilder, David Cronenberg - none of these people went to film school. More great films have been made by people who never saw the inside of a film school than by people with graduate degrees in filmmaking. I also have considerable doubts about what they are being taught. A few years ago, a friend of mine was working for the Academy of Canadian Cinema on their director-observer program that took young filmmaking students and put them on the sets of actual, in-production films.

The following June, my sister and I spent a weekend going through my dad’s belongings. As we decided what to do with his leather pants and cap I thought about the queer community and how it has changed since my father came out in the 1970s. Back then, it wasn’t easy to be a gay man or a gay father but it was possible — barely. It had only been legal to participate in consensual homosexual acts in Canada since 1969, although George Klippert was arrested in the Northwest Territories just before the law changed as “incurably homosexual” and a dangerous sexual offender for admitting to having consensual homosexual sex with four separate adult men.1 He was not released from Canadian jail until ONSITE [at] OCAD U ONSITE [at] June 1971.

And having Banff as the setting just heightens the delight: in the most astonishingly picturesque way possible, it makes the separation from everyday life both figurative and literal. Incredibly, the members of the Universities Art Association of Canada have been getting together like this for five decades—2017 is the fifteenth anniversary of the first UAAC conference, held at Queen’s University and organized around the theme of “The Arts and the University.” So it’s fitting that we should reflect on what’s happened in that time: to the arts, to universities, to our geographical, political and cultural contexts. Certainly David Garneau’s keynote presentation, “Indian Agents: Indigenous Artists as Non-State Actors,” will provide a crucial opportunity for that, but there will be other occasions as well and I hope you will find the experience productive and invigorating. I want to thank the organizers for their hard work in bringing this conference together. Thanks also to the programming committee for their great work with the difficult task of reviewing session proposals.

The Wizard of Oz’s great trick—a scam, of course—toward the end of the film is to simply bestow superficial symbols for the possession of a brain, a heart, and courage upon Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. We are meant to understand from key moments in the narrative that only they believe they lack these qualities, which they have in fact possessed all along. Alex does not otherwise discuss this major element of the story (except insofar as their particular rewards link to Dorothy’s more complex de- sire for her lost “home”), and, again, despite admitting his early, ambivalent identifica- tion with the sissy Lion, Alex was not bold (or arrogant) enough to assert about himself what I want to emphatically affirm: like the figure who he first thought was a shameful role model but only later a figure in whom he could take pride (and what better figure for “gay pride” than a lion with a perm?), Alex always possessed great courage, even if he could not recognize this in himself or admit that this, too, could have been a source of his close identification with the (anything but) Cowardly Lion.
