  • An Examination of Native Americans in Film and Rise of Native Filmmakers by Julia Boyd — 105
    An Examination of Native Americans in Film and Rise of Native Filmmakers by Julia Boyd — 105 An Examination of Native Americans in Film and Rise of Native Filmmakers Julia Boyd Media Arts and Entertainment, Concentration: Cinema Elon University Abstract This paper explored the role of Native Americans in the Hollywood film industry and their actions to estab- lish authentic representations of their population and culture in the media. Using academic literature, film analyses, and contemporary film reviews and articles, the author created a synthesis of the history of Na- tive Americans in film. The author concluded that by becoming producers, directors, and writers of their own stories, American Indians have regained control of their images and been able to combat stereotypes and the exclusion of Native Americans in the creative process. Positive social change for minority populations can be optimized when these populations are in control of their own images in film and media. I. Introduction One can use art, music, literature, television and film to trace patterns in society. Since the invention of moving images in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, film has been a particularly powerful me- dium. Films have served as escapist fantasies, allowing audiences to enter astonishing worlds and encounter wild and colorful characters. Movies have also been used to convey truths about society that are more easily digested in a fictional format. Difficult topics such as the nature of humanity, love, and war have all been explored with film as the tool that disseminates these themes into the consciousness of the masses. With the rise of mass media and popular culture came the onset of a collective consciousness that could be shared by people all over the world, rather than people of a particular culture relying on their own ancestry and specific history.

  • Transsexuality in Film by Carolyn Kraus
    Transsexuality in Film by Carolyn Kraus Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Representations of transsexuality in films fall along a spectrum from freak-show sexploitation, to dramatic and documentary depictions of the struggles of transsexuals, and, finally, to the metaphorical use of transsexuality in exploring borders, not only sexual borders but also racial, religious, and political ones as well. The Transsexual as Joke Whereas transvestites have been depicted in film since the silent era, transsexuals (people who have undergone sex-change surgery or who choose to live as the opposite gender) entered the movies only in the early 1950s. The earliest celluloid glimpses of transsexuality appeared shortly after news of George/ Christine Jorgensen's 1952 sex-change surgery shocked and mesmerized the world with headlines such as "Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty," "Christine, by George!" and "Thousands in U.S. Don't Know Their True Sex." The first movie attempting to capitalize on the story came from Ed Wood, a quirky filmmaker who was once named the "World's Worst Director." Wood's Glen or Glenda (I Changed My Sex) (1953) tells two stories, one about a transvestite, one about a transsexual. Ex-Dracula Bela Lugosi lurks between scenes delivering screwball pleas for tolerance: "Vat are little boys made ov? Ees eet puppy dog tails? Beeg fat snails? Or maybe brassieres!" The result is pure camp, although Wood, a cross-dresser himself, flashed an intended moral across the screen in the film's opening frames: "Judge Ye Not!" The filming of Glen or Glenda is depicted in Tim Burton's 1994 film biography Ed Wood.

  • Alice in Zombieland SUMMARY
    Alice in Zombieland Gena Showalter Harlequin Enterprises Limited, 2012 404 pages SUMMARY: After a car crash kills her parents and younger sister, sixteen year old Alice Bell learns that her dad was right. The monsters are real. Now, Ali must learn to fight the monsters in order to stay alive. IF YOU LIKED THIS BOOK TRY… Wake, Lisa McMann Through the Zombie Glass, Gena Showalter Infinity, Sherrilyn Kenyon School Spirits, Rachel Hawkins WEBSITES: White Rabbit Chronicles, http://www.wrchronicles.com Official website of Gena Showalter, http://genashowalter.com BOOKTALK: Disclaimer: If (because of the book’s title) you are expecting a re-telling of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, you will be disappointed. However, don’t let that stop you from picking up this book. It’s a great read with a different twist on the whole Zombie concept. Yes, there are zombies in the book, but they’re not your typical zombies. Instead of being undead humans that crave human flesh, Showalter’s zombies are really infected spirits that eat the spirits of humans which then causes the humans to become infected. Not everyone can see the zombies. Sixteen year old Alice Bell doesn’t see them until after a car crash that kills her parents and younger sister. Alice moves in with her grandparents and attend a different high school. At her new school, Ali hooks up with a group of kids who turn out to be zombie slayers. Cole, the leader of the group, just happens to be the most gorgeous “bad boy” that Ali has ever seen.
