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. We were thrilled to include a retrospective of the films and videos of Trinidad-born Canada-based artist and writer Richard Fung, who visited the festival. Fung has a long history of making challenging videos on subjects ranging from the role of the Asian male in gay pornography to colonialism, immigration, racism, homophobia and AIDS. BQFF 2017 also included the highest number of Indian features, shorts and documentaries the festival has ever screened. The opening feature, Natasha Mendonca’s Ajeeb Aashiq, followed the story of Khush (a working class transgender man) and Suman (a Bollywood singer), and blurred the boundaries between art and politics. The audience fell in love with the scrappy and resourceful kids in Prithvi Konanur’s Railway Children. We were also entranced by the spell cast by Velutha Rathrikal (White Nights, Razi Muhammed), a film that glistened in the moonlight as 1 it told us the story of Chelly, Jyothi and Manu. Ananya Kasaravalli’s subtle Harikatha Prasanga was a touching tale of the life of Hari, a Yakshagana artist who performs female roles and exists within the interstices of gender identity. The festival also included films from regions that have till now been underrepresented in our festival and in other events. Santa Khurai and Siddharth Haobijam’s The Unheard Voice was a film that evoked the history of the Nupa Amaibi, Manpuri priestesses of the Sanamahi tradition . Oh My Soul! (Kivini Shohe) followed the steps of three young men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSMs) in Dimapur, the commercial hub of Nagaland. BQFF is not only about films but also provides space for queer artists, performers and photographers to share their work. Our photo exhibition in 2017, curated by Akshay Mahajan and Joshua Muyiwa, brought us illustrations by Jen Uman and photography by Kannagi Khanna and Karolina Gembara. The exhibition also featured Chan Arun Narendra’s subtle series Self portrait of a transman: Archiving the subtexts of inhabiting homes, and a showcase of artwork from The Gaysi Zine. The festival was also proud to host the play Mohanaswamy, based on Kannada writer Vasudhendra’s collection of short stories and directed by KSDL Chandru. BQFF 2018 holds a spectacular lineup of films from all around the world in store for you, and two special performances. Grab space on the gallery, the chairs, the mattresses, the floors, the walls, and get ready for a #wazak ride at the festival!

  • Alternative Digital Movies As Malaysian National Cinema A
    Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Hsin-ning Chang April 2017 © 2017 Hsin-ning Chang. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema by HSIN-NING CHANG has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Erin Schlumpf Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT CHANG, HSIN-NING, Ph.D., April 2017, Interdisciplinary Arts Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema Director of dissertation: Erin Schlumpf This dissertation argues that the alternative digital movies that emerged in the early 21st century Malaysia have become a part of the Malaysian national cinema. This group of movies includes independent feature-length films, documentaries, short and experimental films and videos. They closely engage with the unique conditions of Malaysia’s economic development, ethnic relationships, and cultural practices, which together comprise significant understandings of the nationhood of Malaysia. The analyses and discussions of the content and practices of these films allow us not only to recognize the economic, social, and historical circumstances of Malaysia, but we also find how these movies reread and rework the existed imagination of the nation, and then actively contribute in configuring the collective entity of Malaysia. 4 DEDICATION To parents, family, friends, and cats in my life 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Prof.

  • Cinema in Dispute: Audiovisual Adventures of the Political Names ‘Worker’, ‘Factory’, ‘People’
    Cinema In Dispute: Audiovisual Adventures of the Political Names ‘Worker’, ‘Factory’, ‘People’ Manuel Ramos Martínez Ph.D. Visual Cultures Goldsmiths College, University of London September 2013 1 I declare that all of the work presented in this thesis is my own. Manuel Ramos Martínez 2 Abstract Political names define the symbolic organisation of what is common and are therefore a potential site of contestation. It is with this field of possibility, and the role the moving image can play within it, that this dissertation is concerned. This thesis verifies that there is a transformative relation between the political name and the cinema. The cinema is an art with the capacity to intervene in the way we see and hear a name. On the other hand, a name operates politically from the moment it agitates a practice, in this case a certain cinema, into organising a better world. This research focuses on the audiovisual dynamism of the names ‘worker’, ‘factory’ and ‘people’ in contemporary cinemas. It is not the purpose of the argument to nostalgically maintain these old revolutionary names, rather to explore their efficacy as names-in-dispute, as names with which a present becomes something disputable. This thesis explores this dispute in the company of theorists and audiovisual artists committed to both emancipatory politics and experimentation. The philosophies of Jacques Rancière and Alain Badiou are of significance for this thesis since they break away from the semiotic model and its symptomatic readings in order to understand the name as a political gesture. Inspired by their affirmative politics, the analysis investigates cinematic practices troubled and stimulated by the names ‘worker’, ‘factory’, ‘people’: the work of Peter Watkins, Wang Bing, Harun Farocki, Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub.

  • QUEER FILM Anniversary FESTIVAL #BQFF2019
    THE BANGALORE 10th QUEER FILM Anniversary FESTIVAL #BQFF2019 I'm crying cuz I love you We’ve turned ten! And we didn’t make it so far on our own. One of the several perks of being a volunteer-run, community- funded event has been that friends from the community and of the community have come in, rolled up their sleeves, hitched up their hemlines and taken charge over the many years. From the first public film festival called ‘Bangalored’, held with our signature spread of mattresses at the Attakkalari Studios and helmed by the good folks of Pedestrian Pictures, Swabhava’s Vinay Chandran (who remains the longest- running festival director), Sangama, and the funding prowess of Bangalore’s former party starter Abhishek Agarwal, to the smaller festivals organised at a screening room in the Sona Towers, to its present avatar as the Bangalore Queer Film Festival – this festival has become its own beauty, its own beast. Over this decade-long journey, we’ve been held and nurtured by support groups like Good As You, We’re Here And Queer and All Sorts of Queers; individuals like Karthik Vaidyanathan, Nanju Reddy and Siddharth Narrain (who were part of the organising team in the early editions) and organisations like the Alliance Française de Bangalore and Goethe Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan. A question that everyone involved with the festival asks at its end: How did we make this happen again? And while we’ve come up with lots of lies to drive out these doubts, in truth: we have no real idea.

PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) Reports Evaluative /Feasibility (142) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Auteurism; *Black Community; *Black Culture; Black History; Cultural Images; Film Criticism; *Film Production Specialists; *Film Study; Popular Culture; Racial Relations; Urban Culture IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; *Lee (Spike) ABSTRACT This monograph presents a critical essay and a comprehensive 454-item bibliography on the contemporary African-American filmmaker, Spike Lee. The essay, entitled "African-American Folklore and Cultural History in the Films of Spike Lee" (Gloria J. Gibson-Hudson), analyzes Lee's filmmaking approach from a cultural and historical perspective. The essay identifies Lee as a contemporary storyteller weaving his tales with the aid of a camera and demonstrates how his film narratives draw on both the historic and contemporary experiences of African Americans. The essay discusses five of Lee's films (made between 1984 and 1991) thematically, categorizing them under intra-racal issues and inter-racial issues. The bibliography (by Grace Jackson-Brown) provides citations from both scholarly and popular literature, encompassing newspaper articles, journal and magazine articles, chapters or sections from books, and reviews of films (most of the citations date from the last 5 years). The extensive 49-page bibliography is intended to be a comprehensive guide to literature that will assist students and researchers with an interest in Spike Lee.

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.
