2009 Sundance Film Festival Announces Films in Competition
Media Contacts: For Immediate Release Brooks Addicott, 435.658.3456 December 3, 2008 [email protected] Amy McGee, 310.492.2333 [email protected] 2009 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FILMS IN COMPETITION Festival Celebrates 25 Years of Independent Filmmaking and Cinematic Storytelling Park City, UT—Sundance Institute announced today the lineup of films selected to screen in the U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competitions for the 25th Sundance Film Festival. In addition to the four Competition categories, the Festival presents films in five out-of-competition sections to be announced tomorrow. The 2009 Sundance Film Festival runs January 15-25 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at www.sundance.org/festival. "This year's films are not narrowly defined. Instead we have a blurring of genres, a crossing of boundaries: geographic, generational, socio-economic and the like," said Geoffrey Gilmore, Director, Sundance Film Festival. "The result is both an exhilarating and emotive Festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced." "Audiences may be surprised by how much emotion this year's films evoke," said John Cooper, Director of Programming, Sundance Film Festival. "We are seeing the next evolution of the independent film movement where films focus on storytelling with a sense of connection and purpose." For the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 118 feature-length films were selected including 88 world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and 4 U.S. premieres representing 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition. -
Sin Nombre, Babel, and the Conflicts in Contact Zones
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/ 2175-8026.2021.e75723 SIN NOMBRE, BABEL, AND THE CONFLICTS IN CONTACT ZONES George Alexandre Ayres de Menezes Mousinho1* 1Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil Abstract Contact zones can be understood as spaces where cultures meet and establish relations of power based on historical processes of domination and inequality. In such spaces and under such circumstances, power dynamics are sometimes resulted from the act of geographic dislocation, executed either by the individual from a central culture who is seen as the tourist or expatriate, or by the subaltern subject who travels to an imperialist nation in search of better prospects, who is seen as the – sometimes illegal – immigrant. The objective of this article is to examine Sin Nombre (2009) and Babel (2006), two films that bring representations of both instances of transit and the inequity of power, through the lens of the postcolonial concept of contact zones. Keywords: Immigration; contact zones; postcolonialism; Babel; Sin Nombre * Professor at the Departamento de Língua e Literatura Estrangeiras from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.

Introduction Narratives that reimagine travelling and migration often portray and/or focus on cultural and linguistic conflicts, relations of power and underlying subjugation, as well as issues of individual or collective restriction or violence. -

+PC * S NATIONU SCIENCE FOUNDATION OFFICEOFFICE OF OF INSPECTOR INVESTIGATIONS GENERAL z4 .q$$@!0 CLOSEOUT MEMORANDUM D~~~~ \o Case Number: A04120071 Page 1 of 1 In connection with a proactive review, we reviewed an awardee's ' General Ledger. This review revealed that the awardee had spent the last $32,000 of NSF funds on post-award expenditures. Further iilvestigation revealed that the PI had requested an extension of tiine to complete work beyond the award's expiration, but NSF denied this request. In addition, investigation revealed that despite NSF's denial of the second-no-cost extension, the PI engineered the draw down of the $32,000 by falsely characteriziilg the draw down as a reimbursement. However, the ~najorityof the funds, approxi~nately$27,000, were used to fund newly incurred, ongoing, post-award expenses. Thereafter, the awardee filed a false final Federal Cash Transaction Report certifying that all award funds had been spent. Then, the PI filed a Final Report that falsely represented that all work on the award was complete. When asked about this by OIG investigators, the PI said she didn't know the second no-cost extension had been denied by NSF. The weight of the evidence refuted this assertion. Without adinitting liability, the awardee settled a civil false claims case with the Department of Justice for $52,150 and agreed to enter into a self-governance programdesigned to ensure that it will operate with honestly and integrity and in compliance with applicable law. In a separate and unrelated ad~ni~listrativeaction, the PI was debarred by NSF for 5 years. -
ECON 3248 Class Calendar Sin Nombre Trailer
ECON 3248 Class Calendar Sin Nombre Trailer https://youtu.be/VCaXj-17dgw Sin Nombre Review in San Francisco Chronicle 2009 Drama. Starring Edgar Flores, Paulina Gaitan, Tenoch Huerta Mejia and Kristyan Ferrer. Directed by Cary Fukunaga. In Spanish w/ English subtitles. (R. 96 min.) The highest calling of movies is to show audiences - to show you - a world you never thought of, a way of thinking and a way of life you never imagined, and then, having shown it, to make you understand it in the common language of human emotion. This is what writer-director Cary Fukunaga accomplishes in "Sin Nombre." Take his presentation of Lil Mago (Tenoch Huerta Mejia), the leader of a street gang in southern Mexico. His face is covered in menacing black tattoos. He looks like a monster, and he is - as erratic and as sadistic as a psychotic Roman emperor. Even when doing good is 10 times easier than doing evil, he summons the effort to do evil, just out of principle. Yet, while in no way softening the character, Fukunaga gives us enough information so that Mago is no cartoon. We understand the psychological underpinnings of the character, just as we understand why gang life could be perceived by his men - wrongly, insanely - as a ticket to autonomy and self-respect. Willy (Edgar Flores) is a teenager in Mago's gang. Gradually, Willy goes from being a recruiter for the gang - he brings in a little boy (Kristyan Ferrer) with a talent for larceny - to realizing that gang life is far from a liberation, that it is, in fact, the enemy of every good thing worth having. -
