2018 Holds a Spectacular Lineup of Films from All Around the World in Store for You, and Two Special Performances
“IT MUST BE LOVE ON THE BRAIN” “IT MUST BE LOVE ON THE BRAIN” t the 9th edition of BQFF, hosted along with our beloved partners the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan (GI / MMB), we present a staggering A89 films from over 30 countries. Like every previous year, this year’s festival will be breathless, wild, fun, strange and intense. It will put you on social overdrive, because let’s face it: some of you come just to meet your friends. Watch out for our three specially curated packages. One set of films brought to us by GI / MMB, including our Saturday night Centrepiece, Ein Weg (Paths), comes from the prestigious Berlinale festival in Germany. Another package of LGBT shorts from the UK is brought to us by a British Council international touring programme in association with BFI Flare. For the second time in our history, BQFF is collaborating with the film curator and archivist Thomas Waugh, founder-director of the Queer Media Database Canada-Québec. He will introduce and screen a package called “I Confess”, autobiographical shorts from the Canadian Queer Film Archive. This year we have something über special to announce: in 2017 The Bangalore Queer Festival Trust was set up as an independent entity that will work solely for the festival in the years to come, starting with the 10th Anniversay splash in 2019! We hope you will all stay with as collaborators, supporters, film lovers, performers and just generally a marvellously ragtag bunch of travellers in the future! To give you a quick recap of last year’s festival, BQFF 2017 (24-26 February 2017) was held at Alliance Française de Bangalore and the Goethe-Institut /Max Mueller Bhavan. -

In the Contemporary Malayalam Cinema
JAC : A Journal Of Composition Theory ISSN : 0731-6755 THE KALEIDOSCOPIC ‘TRANSGRESSSIONS’ OF ‘NOUVEAU FEMME’ IN THE CONTEMPORARY MALAYALAM CINEMA Christina Mary Georgy MA English Language and Literature(2017-2019), Institute of English, University of Kerala, Trivandrum, Kerala, India. Abstract: In the present-daysituation, motion pictures, being one of the most resourcefulmass mediaexpressions,perform not only as a powerfulpodium for amusement but also as aproficient site of substantial ideological negotiation and contestation. The politics of representation of women on the silver screen has always been a problematic discourse, owing to the phallogocentric, hegemonic constructs of the society worldwide.This research paper makes use of insights provided by popular gender, media and cultural studies theorists to map out the distinctive features of the ‘nouveau femme’ by tracing out the history and politics of representation of women in Malayalam cinemaover the decades. This paper also attempts to read against the grain of female transgressions in Mollywood with special reference to select critically acclaimed Malayalam films of post 2015 era. Keywords: Cinema, Gender, Media, Modernity, Representation, Woman Representation of Women in Malayali Public and Private Sphere The position of women in Malayali public and private sphere has always been a stimulating discourse in the academic milieu.

TAMIL CINEMA Tamil Cinema
TAMIL CINEMA Tamil cinema (also known as Cinema of Tamil Nadu, the Tamil film industry or the Chennai film industry) is the film industry based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, dedicated to the production of films in the Tamil language. It is based in Chennai's Kodambakkam district, where several South Indian film production companies are headquartered. Tamil cinema is known for being India's second largest film industry in terms of films produced, revenue and worldwide distribution,[1] with audiences mainly including people from the four southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Silent films were produced in Chennai since 1917 and the era of talkies dawned in 1931 with the film Kalidas.[2] By the end of the 1930s, the legislature of the State of Madras passed the Entertainment Tax Act of 1939.[3] Tamil cinema later had a profound effect on other filmmaking industries of India, establishing Chennai as a secondary hub for Telugu cinema, Malayalam cinema, Kannada cinema, and Hindi cinema. The industry also inspired filmmaking in Tamil diaspora populations in other countries, such as Sri Lankan Tamil cinema and Canadian Tamil cinema.[6] Film studios in Chennai are bound by legislation, such as the Cinematography Film Rules of 1948,[7] the Cinematography Act of 1952,[8] and the Copyright Act of 1957.[9] Influences Tamil cinema has been impacted by many factors, due to which it has become the second largest film industry of India. The main impacts of the early cinema were the cultural influences of the country. The Tamil language, ancient than the Sanskrit, was the medium in which many plays and stories were written since the ages as early as the Cholas. -

AR Rahman and the Global Routes of Indian Popular Music
BEYOND KITSCH: A. R. RAHMAN AND THE GLOBAL ROUTES OF INDIAN POPULAR MUSIC Stephanie Lou Jackson A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: David Harnish, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach © 2010 Stephanie Jackson All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Harnish, Advisor At the 2009 Academy Awards, A. R. Rahman became the first Indian composer to win Best Score and Best Song (“Jai Ho”) for his music in the film, Slumdog Millionaire (2008). This event not only granted Rahman another prestigious accolade for his accomplishments as a popular film music composer (i.e., he has been awarded many times over in India for his music), but it gave Rahman new star-status recognition among a Western audience. Although enormously famous in India and well-known among the South Asian diaspora located throughout many parts of the world, Rahman remained, up until that time, virtually unknown among mainstream U.S. audiences. U.S. audiences today are perhaps more likely than a decade ago to recognize the sounds and images of Indian cinema known as Bollywood, a cultural artifact, once considered “kitsch,” that increasingly traverses international popular cultures. Consequently, the appeal of Rahman’s Bollywood music among a wider global audience (as presented in Slumdog Millionaire) coincides with the global circulation and consumption of Bollywood films and music in recent years. I suggest that the appeal for Rahman’s music outside of India cannot be explained by the Western fascination with the exotic “Other," but instead involves a cultural affinity for a type of style and sound set forth in Rahman’s music. -
Accounts of Early Migrants from Kerala in the Gulf in the Post-Oil Era
Memories and Narrations of “Nations” Past: Accounts of Early Migrants from Kerala in the Gulf in the Post-Oil Era M.H. Ilias This paper investigates a set of narratives revolving around the experiences of early post- oil migrants from Kerala to the Gulf States. These narratives take different forms such as individuals’ spoken memories, recollections, perspectives, and narrative accounts of events and experiences. Their themes range widely from the simple renditions of experience of travel to their subjective account of the history of nation-building in the host countries. As witnesses to many seminal events in the history of the Gulf states, memories of migrants from Kerala must not be merely seen as personal storytelling about the past. Rather, they could be interpreted as a collective effort to retell history in an alternative way. They are particularly useful as they open a window into the early South Asian ordinary migrants’ perceptions about a plethora of historical events, such as post-colonial transition of Gulf societies, state formation, and nation-building. Such narratives are generally absent from the “standard” records of history of the region. Introduction Migration of people from Kerala, South India, to the Arab Gulf region has generated various forms of oral histories and local narratives, both in the migrant’s host countries and in Kerala. Narratives revolving around the early post-oil migration that began in the 1940s possess especially interesting dimensions. The primary intention of this article is to analyse the testimonials and personal narratives of some of the early migrants from Kerala to the Gulf States. -
