ASIATICA Incontri Con Il Cinema Asiatico ASIATICA incontri con il cinema asiatico in ottobre a Roma La Pelanda Nota storica “Asiatica, incontri con il cinema asiatico” (già conosciuta come Asiaticafilmmediale) nasce nel 2000 dall’idea di costruire un originale ponte di comunicazione tra l’Italia e il continente asiatico. Sensibile ai cambiamenti e alle nuove possibilità di confronto tra culture, l’ Associazione culturale Mnemosyne realizza quest’idea, individuando nel cinema il mezzo ideale per rinnovare il dialogo tra occidente e oriente. Asiatica ha cadenza annuale ed è ormai considerato un appuntamento di rilievo internazionale. Il Festival viene realizzato negli anni con il contributo e il sostegno del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, del Comune di Roma, della Provincia di Roma, della Regione Lazio. Ha collaborazioni con: Fondazione Cinema per Roma, Casa del Cinema, Rai Cinema, Rai Teche, Camera di Commercio di Roma e Promoroma; Unioncamere Lazio; sponsor: Acea S.p.A., Arsial, Banca Cattolica Popolare, Fastweb S.p.A., Lottomatica S.p.A., Poste Italiane S.p.A., Japan Foundation, Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, Thai Airways; China Airlines; patrocini di numerosi Istituti Culturali e di buona parte delle Ambasciate dei paesi asiatici. L’ultima edizione è stata promossa insieme al Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma e all’Associazione Corto Artecircuito. Dalla sua nascita ad oggi, Asiaticafilmmediale ha raggiunto e superato le 128.000 presenze. Nel corso delle dodici edizioni finora realizzate la Manifestazione ha invitato a Roma più di 330 ospiti, tra registi, produttori, attrici e scrittori asiatici provenienti da: Azerbaijan, Cina, Corea del Sud, Filippine, Giappone, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israele, Kazakhistan, Kirghizistan, Libano, Malesia, Pakistan, Singapore, Siria, Sri Lanka, Tagikistan, Taiwan, Thailandia, Turchia, Uzbekistan, Vietnam.

Dal 2005 sono stati introdotti due concorsi internazionali Premio Città di Roma : per il Miglior Lungometraggio e per il Miglior Documentario .

Nel corso degli anni, tante le presentazioni con l’intervento di autorevoli personalità quali Bernardo Bertolucci, Nanni Moretti, Goffredo Fofi, Enrico Ghezzi, Mario Martone, Marco Risi. E infine, dall’edizione 2007 quando è stata introdotta per la prima volta, il Festival ospita una terza giuria che assegna il Premio Netpac (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema) , autorevole organizzazione internazionale impegnata nella valorizzazione del cinema asiatico. Asiatica ha proposto ogni anno una serie di eventi speciali che hanno ampliato lo spettro delle espressioni di cui la manifestazione si occupa, estendendo così la sua attenzione ad altri linguaggi del mondo orientale fino a toccare anche questioni del mondo produttivo: Incontri di Asiatica : momenti di approfondimento e discussione su tematiche cruciali nel dialogo con l’Asia come quello dedicato alla Birmania nel 2008, all’Iran nel 2009 e alla Cina nel 2 _____________________________________________________________________ ASIATICA FILM MEDIALE Via Nicolò V, 12 00165 Rome Italy tel 0039 (0)6 39388386 fax 0039 (0)6 39386904 2010, anno in cui si è tenuto anche un simposio su Economia e Finanza con l’economista indiano Prem jha, il giornalista Roberto Napoletano e l’ambasciatore Roberto Toscano.

  • The Reluctant Fundamentalist
    Mongrel Media Presents The Reluctant Fundamentalist A film by Mira Nair (128 min., USA, 2012) Language: English and Urdu Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html SYNOPSIS 2011, Lahore. At a café a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States. Roll back ten years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking his fortune on Wall Street. The American Dream seems well within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous artist girlfriend, Erica (Kate Hudson). But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy. Taking us through the culturally rich and beguiling worlds of New York, Lahore and Istanbul, The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death. A MULTI-LAYERED VISION “Looks can be deceiving.” Changez Khan “An Indian director making a film about a Pakistani man. That’s not an easy thing to do,” says novelist and co-screenwriter Mohsin Hamid of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, the new film from award-winning filmmaker Mira Nair, based on Hamid’s acclaimed novel of the same name.

This visibility is based on, and has produced, a transnational circuit of representations of Pakistan. Pakistan is either condemned as an exceptional failure of the nation-state, or redeemed through exceptional nationalist figures of courage and resistance. Such representations have material consequences for Pakistanis, including elisions between anti-state struggles due to injustice and inequality, sectarian violence, and transnational war machines based in Pakistan. This dissertation explores the transnational politics of class, gender, and sexuality of these representations. The tropes deployed by these narrations attempt to manage an epistemological, emotional, and material excess of lives that cannot be contained by the categorical structure of the Pakistani nation-state. ii I analyze the 2012 film “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” by Mira Nair, based on Mohsin Hamid’s 2007 novel; the 1998 film, “Jinnah,” by Jamil Dehlavi; and the 2008 novel, A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif.

  • Coke Studio Pakistan: an Ode to Eastern Music with a Western Touch
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Coke Studio Pakistan: An Ode to Eastern Music with a Western Touch SHAHWAR KIBRIA Shahwar Kibria ([email protected]) is a research scholar at the School of Arts and Aesthetics at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Vol. 55, Issue No. 12, 21 Mar, 2020 Since it was first aired in 2008, Coke Studio Pakistan has emerged as an unprecedented musical movement in South Asia. It has revitalised traditional and Eastern classical music of South Asia by incorporating contemporary Western music instrumentation and new-age production elements. Under the religious nationalism of military dictator Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, the production and dissemination of creative arts were curtailed in Pakistan between 1977 and 1988. Incidentally, the censure against artistic and creative practice also coincided with the transnational movement of qawwali art form as prominent qawwals began carrying it outside Pakistan. American audiences were first exposed to qawwali in 1978 when Gulam Farid Sabri and Maqbool Ahmed Sabri performed at New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall. The performance was referred to as the “aural equivalent of the dancing dervishes” in the New York Times (Rockwell 1979). However, it was not until Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s performance at the popular World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival in 1985 in Colchester, England, following his collaboration with Peter Gabriel, that qawwali became evident in the global music cultures. Khan pioneered the fusion of Eastern vocals and Western instrumentation, and such a coming together of different musical elements was witnessed in several albums he worked for subsequently. Some of them include "Mustt Mustt" in 1990 ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 and "Night Song" in 1996 with Canadian musician Michael Brook, the music score for the film The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and a soundtrack album for the film Dead Man Walking (1996) with Peter Gabriel, and a collaborative project with Eddie Vedder of the rock band Pearl Jam.
