  • Fact Sheet: Intel® Insider
    Fact Sheet Intel® Insider™: Opening Up a Whole New World of Premium Content Intel® Insider™ is a new hardware feature of the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors that will allow consumers to purchase and rent the latest high-definition (HD) movies in 1080p on their PC. Until now, online movie services could only offer a subset of movies in HD for the PC due to security concerns. With Intel Insider’s hardware-based protection, consumers will have access to a larger and growing library of movie titles in 1080p HD. Additionally, Intel Insider technology offers a “proactive queue” capability that enables consumers to pre-download films in advance of the release date and the ability to purchase those films, securely, even if they are not connected to the Internet. This would allow consumers to start watching their movies immediately on the release date without waiting for the mail or needing to download during peak traffic times. Entertainment companies in the United States, Western Europe and India are expected to announce movie services for PCs with Intel® Insider™ throughout the year. Studio Support for Intel Insider Intel has been working with movie studios in Hollywood and Bollywood including Warner Bros. Digital Distribution*, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment*, Image Entertainment*, Yash Raj Films* and UTV Motion Pictures* to offer an expanded library of movies and entertainment. Here’s what some of those companies say in support of Intel Insider: “Warner Bros. sees the PC as a broadly available and versatile platform for delivering premium digital entertainment, and now that Intel has made it more secure, we’re able to provide new releases and popular catalog titles in full HD to the PC through our WBShop* storefront and from partners like CinemaNow* the same day that the DVD is available." – Kevin Tsujihara, Warner Home Entertainment group president.

  • The Italianisation of Bollywood Cinema: Ad Hoc Films
    The Italianisation of Bollywood Cinema: ad hoc films Abstract The relationship explored by this article is the one between Italy and popular Hindi cinema wherein the films of Bollywood have undergone a profound change in form and narrative structure absorbing, through a collage of images, traces of the Italian inheritance of its cinema. This phenomenon is studied as framed by Bergson’s theory of time and with the technique of collage and the textual dismemberment that Bollywood films undergoes while approaching the Italian screens. The analysis of how Bollywood cinema reaches Italy and the current use that the Italian entertainment industry makes of Bollywood texts (by adapting these texts for the national audience) is pivotal to understanding how, on the one hand Bollywood has been targeted for cultural and aesthetic changes, and on the other hand how the encounter of this industry with the European panorama has its own specificities. Through the analysis of one specific case study, the Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar, which function as example among other Bollywood films screened in Italy, it will be highlighted how the Bollywood films, when filtered by the Italian entertainment industry produces ad hoc films, which re-frame the globalization of this Indian industry.
