You are about to embark on a wonderful adventure, Graduate Film School at Tisch Asia. Tisch Graduate Film has trained some of the finest writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, and editors in the film industry. We will maintain this tradition in Singapore by insuring that the faculty, equipment, and facilities are of the same quality that have been established at the New York campus, and by implementing the curriculum, projects, and exercises that demand a level of rigor and exploration from you that is the hallmark of a Tisch education. Included with this letter is the academic calendar, class schedule for the fall semester, some suggested reading and viewing material, faculty list, and other important departmental information. There will be an all school week-and-a half-long orientation beginning August 24th that will be a combination of getting to know your fellow students, faculty, and staff, familiarizing yourself with the Singapore city and countryside, and becoming acquainted with the curriculum. Second and Third year students will also attend a writing boot camp during this period. In the fall, once all classes have registered, you will all be given a comprehensive AY 2011-’12 Production Handbook that contains a wealth of important information and will answer many of your questions about procedures, equipment, and filmmaking in Singapore and beyond. I am looking forward to an exciting year of filmmaking with all first, second, third year, and thesis graduate film students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or my assistant in Singapore, Dhushaanthini ([email protected]) or Sabeen Edwin in New York at 212.998.9178 ([email protected]).

    TAKING ON THE ‘TIPPING POINT’: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ACROSS POPULAR AND DIGITAL CULTURE By AJ Ripley Master of Fine Arts, University of Victoria, 2011 Bachelor of Arts, St. Thomas University, 2008 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate Academic Unit of Interdisciplinary Studies Supervisor: Lauren Cruikshank, Ph.D., Dept. of Culture and Media Studies Examining Board: Chloë Brushwood-Rose, Ph.D., Faculty of Education, York University Sabine LeBel, Ph.D., Dept. of Culture and Media Studies Casey Burkholder, Ph.D., Faculty of Education External Examiner: Cael Keegan, Ph.D., Dept. of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Liberal Studies, Grand Valley State University This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK April, 2020 © AJ Ripley, 2020 i ABSTRACT As more transgender images move from the shadows of intelligibility to mainstream media, the question of visibility remains critical. This dissertation explores examples of how transgender cultural production can highlight less visible transgender narratives already in circulation by examining the Amazon Prime television show, Transparent, and self-representations of transmasculinity across the Instagram hashtag #ftm and a 90-week Tumblr blog about gender transition entitled Trans Canada (My Way). This dissertation illustrates how these examples both adhere to and resist dominant discourses about transness in an effort to move beyond discerning between good and bad representation and instead to lobby for more and different transgender representation. Using the frameworks of critical transgender studies, media studies, queer theory and creative nonfiction, this dissertation explores the process of telling transness and considers how individuals use self- respresentation to exact agency over how their transgender identities and bodies are spoken of and for.

  • Bend It Like Beckham
    Bend It Like Beckham Dir. Gurinder Chadha, UK/Germany 2002, Certificate 12A Introduction Bend It Like Beckham was one of the surprise hits of 2002, making over £11,000,000 at the UK Box Office and hitting a chord with a range of audiences at cinemas. A vibrant and colourful British comedy about a young girl from a Sikh family who desperately wants to play football against the wishes of her traditional parents, the film can be seen to follow the path of other recent British-Asian films such as Bhaji on the Beach, Anita and Me and East Is East in its examination of culture clashes and family traditions. Bend It Like Beckham takes these themes and adds extra ingredients to the dish – football, Shakespearean confusions over identity and sexuality, in-jokes about both British pop culture and the Sikh way of life, and a music soundtrack mixing a range of East/West sounds and musical styles. It is also useful to look at Bend It Like Beckham within a wider context of the British Asian experience in popular culture and media, such as portrayal of Asian culture on television including Ali G, Goodness Gracious Me, families in soaps such as Coronation Street and EastEnders – even the new Walkers Crisps advert has Gary Lineker in a mini-Bollywood musical - and the Asian language, music and fashion that has now flowed into the mainstream. © Film Education 2003 1 Film Synopsis Jesminder (known as Jess) is a Sikh teenager living in Hounslow, who loves to play football. Her parents disapprove, wanting her to settle down, get a job as a lawyer and marry a nice Indian boy.

  • Biographical and Cultural Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-48043-7 - The Filllls of Mike Leigh: Embracing the World Ray Carney Excerpt More information Biographical and Cultural Introduction Mike Leigh was born in 1943, the son of a Jewish doctor whose father had come to London from Russia. All of Leigh’s grandparents were Yiddish-speaking immigrants (he even had a great-grandfather who was editor of a Zionist newspaper before World War I), and Leigh is both proud and critical of his Jewish background.1 However, it has only been in recent years that he has begun to talk openly about his ethnic past and been a member of a socialist Zionist youth group, Habonim.2 How- ever, after visiting Israel under Habonim’s auspices in the summer of 1960, he became disillusioned with Israel’s policies toward the Arabs and dropped out of the movement. It wasn’t until 1991 that he was willing to go back to Israel, accepting an invitation to attend the Jerusa- lem Film Festival, which was showing Life Is Sweet.3 Leigh’s family kept a kosher home and were active Zionists, but neither has he been traditionally religious nor, as an adult, shown any interest in or formal identification with Jewish communal and cultural organizations. Despite these feelings, his Jewish roots are an undeniable part of who Leigh is, though they are a private rather than public aspect of his life. Those roots are also a factor that, he admits, have contributed to his being an outsider and rebel. Jewishness, however, has never been the subject of his art (excepting the unpleasant, middle-class Jewish characters in Hard Labour, who live in a house only two doors from where he grew up), though he has talked vaguely of making a film about the world of his parents and grandparents.

  • Riot Dyke: Music, Identity, and Community in Lesbian Film
    i Riot Dyke: Music, Identity, and Community in Lesbian Film by Alana Kornelsen A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, ON © 2016 Alana Kornelsen ii Abstract This thesis examines the use of diegetic pre-composed music in three American lesbian feature films. Numerous trends can be noted in the selection of music in lesbian film broadly— music is often selected to draw on insider knowledge of the target audience of these films, creating cachet. This cachet comes with accompanying “affiliating identifications” (Kassabian 2001) that allow music to be used in the films’ construction of characters’ identities. This is evident in the treatment of music in many lesbian films: characters frequently listen to, discuss, and perform music. This thesis focuses specifically on riot grrrl music and the closely linked genre of queercore (which together Halberstam ([2003] 2008) refers to as “riot dyke”) in three films that focus on the lives of young women: The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (dir. Maria Maggenti, 1995), All Over Me (dir. Alex Sichel, 1997), and Itty Bitty Titty Committee (dir. Jamie Babbit, 2007). By examining how diegetic riot dyke music is used in these three films to build characters’ identities and contribute to the films’ narratives I argue that in these films, riot dyke music is presented as being central to certain queer identities and communities, and that this music (as well as the community that often accompanies it) is portrayed as instigating or providing opportunities for characters’ personal growth and affirming characters’ identities in adverse environments.

  • A Tribute To... Award to British Film Director Mike Leigh
    MEDIA RELEASE A Tribute to... Award to british film director Mike Leigh Zurich, August 17th, 2015 Leading Exponent of New British Cinema This year’s Zurich Film Festival A Tribute to... award goes to British film director Mike Leigh, one of the most significant exponents of New British Cinema. Mike Leigh will collect the Golden Eye in person during the Award Night ceremony at the Zurich Ope- ra House on October 3. Screened during the ZFF, a comprehensive retrospective comprising a number of his productions will offer insight into his work. Mike Leigh will also head a ZFF Public Master Class. Mike Leigh is known to cinema audiences across the globe for films such as HIGH HOPES (1988), LIFE IS SWEET (1990), NAKED (1993), SECRETS AND LIES (1996), VERA DRAKE (2004), HAPPY-GO-LUCKY (2008), ANOTHER YEAR (2010) and, most recently, MR. TURNER (2014). Often set against the backdrop of a work- ing-class Britain, his sensitive works have garnered a variety of important film awards. Mike Leigh, together with his director colleagues Ken Loach and Stephen Frears, is an important exponent of so-called New British Cinema, a genus of filmmaking that has performed a filmic analysis of and cast its critical lens upon social developments in Britain since the 1980s. It frequently highlights the personal fortunes of Britain’s lo- wer classes. Stephen Frears was recipient of the first ever A Tribute to… award in 2006. Theatre, Television, Cinema Mike Leigh was born in 1943 in Salford, North West England. He learned his craft and his oft-praised sensitive approach to actors and actresses in the theatre.
