Since the silent movie The Light of Asia,a1925 German- Indian co-production released in the USA in 1928, increasing numbers of films have been produced across the globe that are related in some way to Buddhism. In the specific conditions of the modern period and an increasingly globalised world a new field of research gradually formed, which has continued to develop to the present day. The present special issue is devoted to this research field. The introduction will sketch its contours and give as examples particular films, especially (but not exclusively) dramas and documentaries on Tibetan Buddhism and Zen.

    Buddhism through Film (BSTC2013) Semester 1 Thursdays, 1:30-3:20 MWT2 LECTURER Dr Georgios T. Halkias Tel: (852) 3917 2846 Email: [email protected] Office: 4/F, The Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus Office Hours: TBA by appointment TUTOR Mr Jack Cummins, MA in Buddhist Studies, Centre of Buddhist Studies. Email: [email protected] TIME & VENUE Mondays, 1:30-3:20, MWT2 COURSE DESCRIPTION Film is an important medium for reflecting and constructing not only contemporary cultural values, but also religious sentiments and stereotypes. In this course we will explore: a) how Buddhism is portrayed through films and documentaries produced in Asia and the West, particularly in terms of its doctrines, rituals, practitioners, and institutions; and b) how Buddhist films may be used as forms of religious expression, practice and mission. Students will train to critically assess films and documentaries as multi-layered texts that use sound, vision and symbolic referents and examine some key issues that emerge from recent academic scholarship on the religion–film interface. COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY RULES This course is a computer and mobile free zone. In principle, computers, cell phones, smartphones, and other electronic devices are prohibited during the lectures. In this course we will be practicing the art of being actively present, observing, listening, and participating. You are encouraged to bring a notebook for taking notes during the course and writing down key points from each lecture. DISABILITY Any student who has a documented disability and may require special arrangements (seating, testing, etc.) should consult the instructor in person at the beginning of the course so that provisions can be made.

    PROGRAMACIÓN OVNI 2008 - EXODUS. LOS MÁRGENES DEL IMPERIO Del 29 de enero al 3 de febrero MARTES, 29 DE ENERO A LAS 20:30 H INAUGURACIÓN HALL Exodus Intro Mix 30' Mast Qalandar Till Passow, 30’, Alemania, 2005 “Mast Qalandar” (Éxtasis). Es ante todo una mirada a la heterodoxia y una celebración de su existencia. Los qalendaries son una hermandad sufi de derviches nómadas, que se desplazaban antiguamente en un arco que cruza Asia, desde Turquía, hasta Pakistán y la India. Se caracterizan por una devoción mística extrema y por sus actitudes revolucionarias y antidogmáticas dentro del Islam. El uso del hachís y el rechazo del alcohol. La libertad en el sometimiento al Haqq: la Verdad, entendida no como algo que estrecha y define horizontes, sino como ausencia de límites. Mast Qalandar es una inmersión en el encuentro que estos derviches nómadas celebran alrededor de la tumba de su fundador en Pakistán. Una visión de su devoción por “el amado”, hasta el trance y el éxtasis, allí donde la muerte es sólo “correr un velo”. Suffering and Smiling Dan Ollman, 60’, Nigeria - EE.UU., 2006 Visión reflexiva y vital sobre la destrucción de África y en concreto de Nigeria a través de la figura del músico y activista político Fela Kuti y su hijo Fema Kuti. La música como despertar de una conciencia, como celebración de la vida y de las raíces africanas y como denuncia de un gobierno que actúa como franquicia de las multinacionales occidentales. Cuando en 1960 Nigeria consiguió la independencia, los británicos abandonaron el país, pero las multinacionales empezaron a proliferar por todo el estado, sobre todo después del descubrimiento del pozo petrolífero más grande de la región.
