  • Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change
    The I and the We: Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change April K Henderson That the Samoan sense of self is relational, based on socio-spatial rela- tionships within larger collectives, is something of a truism—a statement of such obvious apparent truth that it is taken as a given. Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Taisi Efi, a former prime minister and current head of state of independent Sāmoa as well as an influential intellectual and essayist, has explained this Samoan relational identity: “I am not an individual; I am an integral part of the cosmos. I share divinity with my ancestors, the land, the seas and the skies. I am not an individual, because I share a ‘tofi’ (an inheritance) with my family, my village and my nation. I belong to my family and my family belongs to me. I belong to my village and my village belongs to me. I belong to my nation and my nation belongs to me. This is the essence of my sense of belonging” (Tui Atua 2003, 51). Elaborations of this relational self are consistent across the different political and geographical entities that Samoans currently inhabit. Par- ticipants in an Aotearoa/New Zealand–based project gathering Samoan perspectives on mental health similarly described “the Samoan self . as having meaning only in relationship with other people, not as an individ- ual. This self could not be separated from the ‘va’ or relational space that occurs between an individual and parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other extended family and community members” (Tamasese and others 2005, 303).

  • When Applying for Funding, the New Zealand Film Commission States “We Fund Projects That Have Significant New Zealand Content”
    When applying for funding, the New Zealand Film Commission states “We fund projects that have significant New Zealand Content”. The dilemma to this eligibility requirement is that even the broadest definition of “New Zealandness” is exclusive, creating altruistic categories of “us” and “them.” Thus, through whimsy and humour, A New Zealand Film engages with issues of national identity, filmic representation, anthropology and critical design to highlight the real, complex, dynamic histories and multicultural factors that make up New Zealand identity. Mata Freshwater is a recent graduate of Design, Film and Cultural Anthropology from Victoria University of Wellington. Passionate about ethnography and speculative design, Mata explores big ideas in entertaining, creative outputs, particularly video production, illustration and photography. Mata recently participated in the 48hours competition that took place on 1-3 May 2015, and is currently working on an animated short film ‘Shmeat’ to be released end of 2015. Mata Freshwater A New Zealand Film 2012 Animation film (2:10 minutes) Coffee & Allah is a film about a young Muslim woman’s appetite for coffee, Islam and a good game of badminton. When Oromo Ethiopian, Abeba Mohammed, moves to suburban Mt. Albert to unite with her sister under the refugee family reunion quota, she has nothing but her faith in Allah, a taste for Ethiopian coffee, and a zest for life to sustain her. From behind her purdah, and no knowledge of English, Abeba struggles to make a connection with the people of her new homeland. Nonu, a Samoan barista at the local coffee shop takes a shine to her. Sima Urale is a Wellington-based filmmaker who has won national and international awards.

  • Pacific Film and Media Sample Advanced Undergraduate Syllabus
    Pacific Film and Media Sample Advanced Undergraduate Syllabus Once Were Warriors (Lee Tamahori, 1994) © Fine Line Features _______________________________________________________________________________________ After the critical and commercial successes of Whale Rider, The Piano, Sweetie and My Brilliant Career the filmmaking of the Pacific has gained international recognition in the art house circuit and mainstream Hollywood production. Since the seventies, indigenous cultural renaissance across a range of the arts from novels like Albert Wendt’s The Birth and Death of the Miracle Man and Epeli Hau’ofa’s Tales of the Tikongs, to films like Lee Tamahori’s Once Were Warriors (1994), Chris Graham’s Samoan Wedding (2006) and Tusi Tamasese’s The Orator (2012) from Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Fred Schepisi’s The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) and Tracy Moffat’s Night Cries (1990) from Australia, began to challenge Western representations of the Pacific. In the first half of this course you will be introduced to the history of American and other settler (German, French, Australian, New Zealand) colonialism in the Pacific, as well as to cinematic representations of the Pacific, from Moana (Robert Flaherty, 1926), White Shadows of the South Seas (WS Van Dyke, 1928), Tabu (Murnau/Flaherty, 1931), Return to Paradise (1953, Mark Robson), to South Pacific (Joshua Logan, 1958). In the second half of the class, bifurcated by the Second World War (Thin Red Line), we will consider film, TV and new media and some literature from the Pacific basin, which engage or rework settler representations of the Pacific, from Velvet Dreams (Sima Urale, 1993) to Nice Colored Girls (Tracy Moffat,1988), Naming Number Two (Toa Fraser, 2006), Coconet (http://www.thecoconet.tv), and others.

  • The Pacific the Nightingale
    Publication trimestrielle multilingue Multilingual quarterly magazine Revista trimestral multilingüe The Pacific The Nightingale de Jennifer Kent Au cours de l’histoire du cinéma, une certaine image exotique du Pacifique a été fabriquée par le cinéma occidental. Depuis les années 1970, l’Australie s’est manifestée comme un pays producteur d’un cinéma original qui arrive aussi sur les écrans du monde entier. En regardant le prix annuel du membre OCIC-SIGNIS en Australie les derniers 40 ans, on y retrouve des films marquants. Un de ses présidents Peter Malone a eu, avec ses critiques du cinéma, ses conférences et ses publications, un impact important au sein de SIGNIS, du monde catholique mais aussi dans le monde du cinéma. Des jurys organisés par OCIC/ SIGNIS aux festivals internationaux ont non seulement primés des films australiens mais aussi ceux de Nouvelle Zélande. Avec Manganinnie (1981) une attention particulière est donnée aux Aborigènes et à l’importance de décoloniser l’image des peuples « autochtones » du Pacifique. Pour la Nouvelle Zélande, c’est le prix àOnce we were Warriors (1994) qui a attiré l’attention sur les Maoris. Entretemps, la présence des représentants des peuples océaniens au sein de l’OCIC/Unda et SIGNIS, a augmenté la sensibilité à leurs réalités. Avec l’arrivée de la vidéo ils ont développé une culture cinématographique. Les écoles catholiques de cette région comme la Nouvelle Calédonie, Tahiti et la Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée, donnent non seulement une grande importance à l’éducation cinématographique mais aussi à la production cinématographique estudiantine et professionnelle. Ce jeune cinéma du Pacifique, dénommé Pasifika films est en train de gagner sa place dans le monde, surtout en 2020 quand Taiki Waititi, un Maori de Nouvelle Zélande gagne un Oscar et le prix de SIGNIS Amérique du Nord.
