A MOVIE NOMINATED FOR BEST FILM IN THE AFRICA MAGIC VIEWER’S CHOICE AWARDS 2016 We spoke with the fi lm’s Producer Juliet Asante. Airscape: The story of your fi lm is both compelling and provocative - a politician's son fascinated by a 'kayayo girl.' What inspired the fi lm's story? Juliet Asante: The name ‘Kayayo girls’ is given to street girls who live in the market places around Ghana. During the day they serve as human carts and help shoppers carry goods that have been bought. These goods are usually placed in a head pan that the girls follow the shopper with whiles they are shopping. At night, these street people turn the market place into home. They sleep on carton laid out on the streets and in front of the shops. Kayayo girls are usually between the ages of 11-35 and come from very low-income homes around the country. They work to take care of themselves and their families. In 2003,I met one of such girls in the main market of Accra, she was 13 at the time. I learnt a lot about her life and that she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. I wanted to help her achieve her dream, so I made a deal with her to allow me to spend 2 weeks with her and in exchange for that favor, I would make her dream a reality. The next two weeks were a real education for my crew and me. At the end of the two weeks, I was transformed by the strength and sheer resilience I witnessed. I fell in love with this wonderful girl in so many ways. Unfortunately though, she decided to renegotiate the deal at the end of the two weeks, under the infl uence of her friends and the need for money. She wanted money for her time and no longer wanted training to be a fashion designer. I was forced to give her the money. I met her again 8 months later, by which time she was pregnant. She was still cheerful and full of hope despite her circumstances. Her story inspired me to write SilveRain. Airscape: Other than the issue of class, what other topics does the fi lm deal with? Juliet Asante: At the end of the day, all the levels of story in SilveRain are incased in a love story. This is a Cinderella-like story about love and hope. The story deals with friendship and family as well, and to some extent politics in Africa. It is a very layered story and every time you watch it, no matter how many times, you may fi nd something new… Airscape: You put together a multi-national cast (Sierra Leone, South Africa, Kenya) for the fi lm. Why did you feel it necessary and how did you go about the casting process? Juliet Asante: SilveRain is cast from 5 African countries: South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. It is set in ‘An African city’ not one country, so to speak. Africa is a very diverse continent, but we share so much culturally as a people. Markets cut across the continent as well. You’d be amazed that a market place in Ghana or Nigeria may look so similar to Kenya and South Africa. As a fi lmmaker, I feel that it is important that we celebrate as Africans what brings us together. When done well, what divides us is mainly unnoticeable and when it is, the diversity is beautiful and should be embraced. For instance, the different accents in SilveRain make it even more beautiful and when we were on set, the diversity made the experience even more memorable. Due to the trade barriers and many other logistical challenges, casting was defi nitely not a walk in the park. The casting director had a very diffi cult time and often, we were on the verge of giving up. But one of the key goals of the project was to show that this was a challenge that we could surmount and we did. Many of the South African and Kenyans in the movie for instance had never been to Ghana, and the same for the Ghanaians and Nigerians. We also used crewmembers from across Africa. I think the fi lm is even richer for this dynamic.

  • Martin Balsam and the Refining of Male Character Acting in American Films, 1957-1976 John Thomas Mcguire, Siena College
    Man In A Hat: Martin Balsam and the Refining of Male Character Acting in American Films, 1957-1976 John Thomas McGuire, Siena College [email protected] Volume 8. 1 (2020) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2020.235 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract This article attempts a definition at what constitutes “character acting” in mainstream cinema in the United States and argues that throughout the peak of his film career—roughly, 1957 through 1976--Martin Balsam refined the definition of male character acting in American film, a parameter previously established by such skilled practitioners as Eugene Pallette and Claude Rains. Balsam did this through his ability to portray what can be termed “a man in a hat” portrayals: tartly humorous, reliable, and sometimes authoritative supporting characters, usually wearing a chapeau. This is clearly seen in such performances as the private investigator in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) and most interestingly, a partner in an unusual subway hijacking in Joseph Sargent’s The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three (1974).

  • Touching the Face of God: Religion, Technology, and the United States Air Force
    Touching the Face of God: Religion, Technology, and the United States Air Force Timothy J. Cathcart Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science and Technology Studies Dr. Shannon A. Brown, Chair Dr. Lee L. Zwanziger Dr. Janet E. Abbate Dr. Barbara J. Reeves 3 December 2008 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: united states air force, religion, military technology, military culture, social construction of technology Copyright © 2008, Timothy J. Cathcart Touching the Face of God: Religion, Technology, and the United States Air Force Timothy J. Cathcart ABSTRACT The goal of my project is a detailed analysis of the technological culture of the United States Air Force from a Science and Technology Studies (STS) perspective. In particular, using the metaphor of the Air Force as religion helps in understanding a culture built on matters of life-and-death. This religious narrative—with the organizational roles of actors such as priests, prophets, and laity, and the institutional connotations of theological terms such as sacredness—is a unique approach to the Air Force. An analysis of how the Air Force interacts with technology—the very thing that gives it meaning—from the social construction of technology approach will provide a broader understanding of this relationship. Mitcham’s dichotomy of the engineering philosophy of technology (EPT) and the humanities philosophy of technology (HPT) perspectives provides a methodology for analyzing Air Force decisions and priorities. I examine the overarching discourse and metaphor—consisting of techniques, technologies, experiences, language, and religion—in a range of historical case studies describing the sociological and philosophical issues of the Air Force.
