Introduction
Notes Introduction 1. Gellner differentiates nations from states and holds that both can emerge independent of each other. See Gellner, E. 2008. Nations and Nationalism. New York: Cornell University Press. 2. During the inter-war period and war years documentary was used for propa- gandist purposes to shape favourable public opinion towards the war. Leni Riefenstahl’s spectacular representations of Germany around the time of the Nazi ascendance to power, and Britain’s charged propaganda documentaries during the war both come to mind here. Propagandist documentary has also been mobilized to celebrate national development and planning pro- grammes, for example, Dziga Vertov’s dynamic representations of the Soviet Union’s five-year plans through his kino-pravda series and other full-length documentaries. The vast body of investigative, activist and exposé documen- taries has questioned nations, their institutions and ideological discourses. 3. Corner, J. 1996. The Art of Record: A Critical Introduction to Documentary. New York: Manchester University Press. 4. I take my cue here from Noel Carroll who, while discussing objectivity in relation to the non-fiction film, argues that documentary debate has been marred by con- fusions in the use of language that conflate objectivity with truth (Carroll 1983: 14). While I agree with Carroll that lack of objectivity does not necessarily mean bias, as a practitioner I am inclined to hold documentary making and reception as subjective experiences exercising subjects’, makers’ and the audiences’ ideo- logical stances, knowledge systems and even aesthetic preferences. 5. Governmental and semi-governmental funding bodies such as Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India), Public Service Broadcasting Trust and the Indian Foundation for the Arts offer financial support for documentary makers and Indian filmmakers have also secured funding from international agencies such as the European Union’s cultural funds. -
Ruptures Et Disjonctions Dans Le Cinéma De Djibril Diop Mambety : Le Film-Griot Ou L’Invention D’Une Oralité Moderne
Université de Montréal Ruptures et disjonctions dans le cinéma de Djibril Diop Mambety : le film-griot ou l’invention d’une oralité moderne par Julie de Lorimier Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Faculté des Arts et sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise en études cinématographiques août 2015 © Julie de Lorimier, 2015 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures Ce mémoire intitulé : Ruptures et disjonctions dans le cinéma de Djibril Diop Mambety : le film-griot ou l’invention d’une oralité moderne présenté par : Julie de Lorimier a été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Germain Lacasse, président-rapporteur André Habib, directeur de recherche Silvestra Mariniello, membre du jury Mémoire accepté le 27 octobre 2015 iii Résumé Cette étude se penche sur le geste singulier se dégageant de l’œuvre du cinéaste sénégalais Djibril Diop Mambety. Une force de « mise en présence » y est identifiée, dont la présente recherche démontre qu’elle s’apparente à l’action médiatrice du griot des traditions orales d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Singulièrement, cette force tenant de l’oralité ne repose pas sur le récit ou la parole comme discours, mais relève au contraire de ruptures narratives et de disjonctions image-son qui mettent le récit en question, invitant le spectateur à fréquemment réviser son interprétation de ce qu’il voit et entend. C’est le film lui-même qui devient alors griot, actualisant un lien en constante transformation entre l’univers qu’il porte et son spectateur. -

It was a British colony which was amalgamated in 1914. The country became independent in 1962 and was right away bedeviled by military coups d’états and a bloody civil war (1967-1970). In 1999, the country experienced democratic dispensation. In the 1990s, the Nollywood nascent movie industry—following in the footpath of Hollywood and Bollywood—flourished. The movie industry grew thanks to four factors: Rapid urbanization; the hand-held video camera; the advent of satellite TV; and, the overseas migrations of Nigerians. Local languages are used in these films; however, English is the most prominent, along with Nigerian pidgin broken English. Many themes are treated in these films: tradition and customs, religion, witchcraft and sorcery, satire, urban and rural lives, wealth acquisition, consumerism, etc. I discuss the ways in which American popular culture is adopted in Nigeria and recreated on screen. -

Indian cinema is a subject about which conceptions are still muddy, even within prominent academic circles. The majority of the recent critical work on the subject endeavors to correct misconceptions, analyze cinematic norms and lay down the theoretical foundations for Indian cinema. -
Analysis of the UIS International Survey on Feature Film Statistics
INFORMATION SHEET No. 1 Analysis of the UIS International Survey on Feature Film Statistics With the support of the Government of Québec and in collaboration with the Institut de la statistique du Québec (ISQ), the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) launched a new international survey in 2007 to collect data on feature films. The analysis was based on a preliminary study by Ivan Bernier, Associate Professor, Université Laval and Serge Bernier, Associate Professor, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Introduction The UIS International Survey on Feature Film Statistics is based on a new approach to gather internationally comparable and better quality data in the field of culture statistics. Cinema data elicit much interest because the film industry is experiencing massive transition and growth in certain developing countries. These data can also be relevant to the study of the diversity of cultural expressions. Data was obtained from 101 countries for the years 2005-2006, indicating a coverage rate of 49%. This is a relatively reasonable coverage rate for an international survey. In the majority of cases, the data were obtained directly from countries in response to the questionnaire; 75 countries responded, for a response rate of 36%. Among those who responded, 11 – mainly developing countries – indicated they had no data on film production. Data on 26 other countries were obtained from alternative sources (government information available on the Internet, international compilations, etc.). Figure 1 shows the geographical imbalance in coverage rates – a strong concentration in Europe and North America with a coverage rate of 88% and very little coverage in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific with 33%, 27% and 24% respectively. -
Screening the Impossible: the Politics of Form and Feeling in Second Wave Revolutionary Cinema
SCREENING THE IMPOSSIBLE: THE POLITICS OF FORM AND FEELING IN SECOND WAVE REVOLUTIONARY CINEMA By Sarah Hamblin A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English 2012 ABSTRACT SCREENING THE IMPOSSIBLE: THE POLITICS OF FORM AND FEELING IN SECOND WAVE REVOLUTIONARY CINEMA By Sarah Hamblin Screening the Impossible explores how the new revolutionary ideologies that emerged in the various global articulations of the “long 1968” produced new forms of revolutionary cinematic practice – what I collectively refer to as a second wave of revolutionary filmmaking. The project focuses on films largely from the 1960s and 1970s that engage the revolutionary energies of the period to examine the relationship between emotion, aesthetics, and political theory in an international cinematic context. Drawing on the claim that the global rebellions of the 1960s mark the denunciation of early 20th century revolutionary narratives, it traces the connections between filmmakers who are similarly preoccupied with the limits, failures, and counter-revolutionary appropriations of orthodox revolutionary thought and yet remain committed to the necessity of revolutionary transformation. Through a comparative analysis of films from various national traditions, the project examines how the political cinema of this period develops a new understanding of revolutionary process and the role that cinema can play in it. At its core, the project lays out the aesthetic and affective contours of this emergent genre, arguing that second wave revolutionary cinema is characterized by its rejection of the teleological narratives and didactic political messages embedded in earlier first wave revolutionary cinematic production. -

THE HYENA's LAST LAUGH a Conversation with Djibril Diop Mambety by N
The Hyena's Last Laugh - A conversation with Djibril Diop Mambety 14.11.17 1334 ORDER TRACKING CONTACT US close home THE HYENA'S LAST LAUGH A conversation with Djibril Diop Mambety by N. Frank Ukadike, from TRANSITION 78 They said he was a UFO. "The most paradoxical filmmaker in the history of African cinema." To some, he was "the African Dionysus," or "the prince of Colobane." Others simply called him "D.D.M." On July 23, 1998, Djibril Diop Mambety died in the Paris hospital where he was being treated for lung cancer. Only fifty-three years old at the time of his death, Mambety was a director, actor, composer, poet, and orator, loved and admired by critics and audiences all over the world. Mambety had studied drama in Senegal, and he worked as a stage actor at the Daniel Sorano National Theater in Dakar after graduation. But he was expelled from Sorano a short time later--undisciplined, they said--and the experience goaded him to pursue his love affair with cinema. Mambety remembered his expulsion as a kind of challenge: he refused to give up, and immediately set about raising money to make films. Although he had no formal training in cinema, the twenty-four-year-old directed and produced his first film short, Contras' City [A city of contrasts], in 1969. Experimental and satirical, the film lampooned the freewheeling cosmopolitanism of Dakar's colonial architecture, in which, as Mambety noted, "we had a Sudanese-style cathedral, a chamber of commerce building looking like a theater, while the theater resembled a block of council flats." Mambety's next short, Badou Boy, was released in 1970. -
