Introduction
introduction The disembodied voices of bygone songstresses course through the soundscapes of many recent Chinese films that evoke the cultural past. In a mode of retro- spection, these films pay tribute to a figure who, although rarely encountered today, once loomed large in the visual and acoustic spaces of popu lar music and cinema. The audience is invited to remember the familiar voices and tunes that circulated in these erstwhile spaces. For instance, in a film by the Hong Kong director Wong Kar- wai set in the 1960s, In the Mood for Love, a traveling businessman dedicates a song on the radio to his wife on her birthday.1 Along with the wife we listen to “Hua yang de nianhua” (“The Blooming Years”), crooned by Zhou Xuan, one of China’s most beloved singers of pop music. The song was originally featured in a Hong Kong production of 1947, All- Consuming Love, which cast Zhou in the role of a self- sacrificing songstress.2 Set in Shang- hai during the years of the Japa nese occupation, the story of All- Consuming Love centers on the plight of Zhou’s character, who is forced to obtain a job as a nightclub singer to support herself and her enfeebled mother-in- law after her husband leaves home to join the resis tance. “The Blooming Years” refers to these recent politi cal events in a tone of wistful regret, expressing the home- sickness of the exile who yearns for the best years of her life: “Suddenly this orphan island is overshadowed by miseries and sorrows, miseries and sorrows; ah, my lovely country, when can I run into your arms again?”3 -

TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX CELEBRATES A CENTURY OF CHINESE CINEMA WITH UNPRECEDENTED FILM SERIES, EXHIBITIONS AND SPECIAL GUESTS - Programme features 80 films, free exhibitions and guests including Chen Kaige, Johnnie To and Jackie Chan - -Tickets on sale May 21 at 10 a.m. for TIFF Members, May 27 at 10 a.m. for non-members - Toronto – Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox, announced today details for a comprehensive exploration of Chinese film, art and culture.

The flagship programme of the summer season, A Century of Chinese Cinema runs from June 5 to August 11, 2013. “A Century of Chinese Cinema exemplifies TIFF’s vision to foster new relationships and build bridges of cultural exchange,” said Piers Handling, Director and CEO of TIFF. “If we are, indeed, living in the Chinese Century, it is essential that we attempt to understand what that entails. There is no better way to do so than through film, which encourages cross-cultural understanding in our city and beyond.” “The history, legacy and trajectory of Chinese film has been underrepresented in the global cinematic story, and as a leader in creative and cultural discovery through film, TIFF Bell Lightbox is the perfect setting for A Century of Chinese Cinema,” said Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox. “With Chinese cinema in the international spotlight, an examination of the history and development of the region’s amazing artistic output is long overdue. -

NYCAS 2012, PANEL SESSION A, Sep. 28 (Fri), 12:30-2:15 PM A1 Popular Religious Art in South Asia: The Pilgrim Trade SUB 62 Chair: Richard Davis (Bard College) Discussant: Kristin Scheible (Bard College) North Indian Pilgrimage and Portable Imagery Kurt Behrendt (Metropolitan Museum of Art) The north Indian pilgrimage sites associated with the Buddha were important for both local communities and devotees coming from distant countries. This paper focuses on 7th- 12th century imagery that was acquired at these centers and which circulated within the greater Buddhist world. Most popular were inexpensive molded clay plaques, but small stone and bronze images also moved with these pious devotees. By the end of this period small secret esoteric images were being used by a select group of monks within the great north Indian monasteries. This paper will conclude by suggesting that such private images also circulated with pilgrims, given their scale and significance as objects of power, and that they had a major impact on Buddhist communities outside of India. A Jagannatha Triad in the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art Jaclynne Kerner (SUNY New Paltz) This paper will explore Hindu devotional practice in relation to a painted Jagannatha Triad [Jagannatha, Subhadra, and Balabhadra Enshrined] in the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. Perhaps as early as the eighth century, the Orissan town of Puri was the birthplace of a distinctive pata painting tradition associated with the worship of Jagannatha, an abstract form of Krishna. My discussion will focus primarily on the development and continuity of Jagannatha iconography and the idiosyncratic Orissan pata style. -

Calendar 2016–17
The Chinese University of Hong Kong Calendar 2016–2017 The emblem of the University is the mythical Chinese bird feng (鳳) which has been regarded as the Bird of the South since the Han dynasty. It is a symbol of nobility, beauty, loyalty and majesty. The University colours are purple and gold, representing devotion and loyalty, and perseverance and resolution, respectively. The motto of the University is ‘博文約禮’ or ‘Through learning and temperance to virtue’. These words of Confucius have long been considered a principal precept of his teaching. It is recorded in the Analects of Confucius that the Master says, ‘The superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus likewise not overstep what is right.’ (Legge’s version of the Four Books) In choosing ‘博文約禮’ as its motto, the University is laying equal emphasis on the intellectual and moral aspects of education.

Besides crafting screenplays, Cha also wrote film reviews under the various guises of Xiao Zijia, Lin Zichang, Yao Fulan, Yao Jiayi.1 His reviews included Great Wall productions, even those penned by himself as Lin. Looking at these articles today, we see that they serve not only as precious autobiographical insights into Cha’s life as a screenwriter, but they also hold significant referential values. This text will be examining Cha’s reflections on films published in Ta Kung Pao, in an attempt to piece together Cha’s creative impulse and defining character, from his time as a screenwriter that carried onto his later literary works as Jin Yong in the wuxia genre. Lin Huan’s first screenplay was The Peerless Beauty (1953), a film directed by Li Pingqian. Before its premiere, Cha released an article in the evening edition of Ta Kung Pao, The New Evening Post. Titled ‘Regarding The Peerless Beauty’ under his pseudonym Lin, he mentioned the xiqu and dramas that were themed around the story of Lord Xinling and Lady Yu before the emergence of the film version. -

Wuxia Cinema of Chor Yuen
Re-Dreaming China: Reflexivity, Revisionism, and Orientalism in the Wuxia Cinema of Chor Yuen by Zachariah Campbell A Thesis in the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Film Studies) at Concordia University Montréal, Québec, Canada February, 2016 © Zachariah Campbell 2016 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Zachariah Campbell Entitled: Re-Dreaming China: Reflexivity, Revisionism, and Orientalism in the Wuxia Cinema of Chor Yuen and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts ( Film Studies ) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: _______Haidee Wasson___________________ Chair _______John Locke______________________ Examiner _______Bart Testa_______________________ Examiner _______Peter Rist_______________________ Supervisor Approved by ____ ______________________________________ Date Graduate Program Director ____ ______________________________________ Date Dean of Faculty iii ABSTRACT Re-Dreaming China: Reflexivity, Revisionism, and Orientalism in the Wuxia Cinema of Chor Yuen Zachariah Campbell Although significant scholarship has been devoted to Hong Kong martial arts cinema in recent decades, with emphasis on King Hu and Change Cheh as key creative figures, relatively little attention has been devoted to Chor Yuen, who directed over forty-seven feature films for the Shaw Brothers studio between 1971 and 1985, most of them in the wuxia genre. In this paper I argue that a critical investigation of Chor Yuen’s work through an auteurist lens reveals a director with a distinct vision and formal sensibility, and encourages a reconsideration of his role in shaping the development of the genre. -
