PHOTOS COURTESY OF CREATIVE CENTURY ENTERTAINMENT pits underutilized and underpromoted ace detective Yutaka Mizutani and his youthful partner against a deadly foe who targets the Tokyo marathon after leaving a string of bodies around the capital. Like a lot of serial killers, this one leaves a code behind that challenges the cops to identify him. Fun for fans of detective stories, and helped immeasurably by the rapport between the lead sleuths. Ghost Mother In Asia, if you see a female specter with black hair hanging over her face and wearing a white sheet, then you would run like hell — if you don’t suffer cardiac arrest first. In the case of the 2007 Thai horror flick Ghost Mother, however, the ghost is a matronly young woman who channels her undead energies into bloody vengeance against the drug-dealing tormentors targeting her family. One central conceit borrows from The Sixth Sense. Sounds like a good ghost to have on your side. The Best Romance A young reporter accidentally stabs a young policeman at a South Korean night market with a wooden skewer; naturally the cop has a terrible fear of sharp implements and faints, while she milks the incident for all a journalist’s worth. What else but romance could follow (eventually)? The subplot includes drug-dealing baddies, but the main draw is the two stars, who came from almost nowhere and made a good impression with Korean audiences. This 2007 feature is also known as The Perfect Couple. Starts tomorrow at Ximending’s Baixue grindhouse.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • Research on Audience Engagement in Film Marketing
    Department of Informatics and Media Master’s Program in Social Sciences, Digital Media and Society Specialization Two-year Master’s Thesis Research on Audience Engagement in Film Marketing -- Taking the film <Us and Them> as the Case Student: Ruiyan Huang Supervisor: Cecilia Strand Spring 2019 Abstract The film marketing is becoming increasingly important due to the fierce competition of film industry in China. With the drive of technology innovations, the creation of interaction among audiences has gradually become the spotlight of film marketing and many social media platforms are employed as marketing tools to encourage or foster audience engagement. Through the case study of Us and Them, the thesis studies how audience engagement is realized through film marketing strategies made by marketers, so as to identify the specific marketing strategies or techniques used for enhancing the audience engagement and promoting the film. As different marketing techniques will lead to different level of audience engagement, that are normally reflected by the preferences of audiences, their behaviors on social media and the way of involving into film contents, it is necessary to explore and understand the effectiveness and efficiency of these techniques, so that the film marketing can be improved while practical marketing progressing. Keywords Audience engagement, film marketing, social media, marketing content 2 Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank Swedish Institute, offering me the platform so I could have chance to get the master’s degree in Uppsala University in Sweden. Most importantly, I would like to thank Cecilia Strand, my thesis supervisor, who guided me and gave me suggestions to finish the thesis.

  • Newsletter 29
    Life-long Love A retrospective usually means 'an intensive screening activity commemorating a topic, a person or a period of time, recounting the development and summing up the achievement of such.' But our retrospective for a filmmaker at her prime gives new definition to the word. As she says, 'The retrospective is just a beginning!' On the day of the 'Sylvia Chang's Shining Days' seminar, the waiting audience filled up the stairways and beyond. They say, 'Your films strike a chord in my heart.' In the end, she appeals for consideration of others' efforts, appreciation of others' achievements and leading a happy life. That's why her works are always optimistic and her love for the cinema is just as passionate. The Film Archive will also present some historic works of Li Lihua made in the fifties. Li Lihua, undisputedly one of the divas of Chinese cinema, enjoyed a long popularity, striding from the 40s to the 70s. Sylvia Chang's cinema career is equally impressive. From her first foray into cinema in the 70s, she has been working in front and behind the camera for three decades. But this thirty years' work makes up not her life achievement but the starting of her career that is still going strong. Li Lihua was the screen goddess of her time. Though she did set up her own film company, she never went behind the camera. Screen goddess of today means career woman like Sylvia Chang who is full of passion and creativity for self-expression. Her story, with her trials, transformation, and growth, is material for a classic film.

  • Las Películas
    Las películas Wo Hu (Ngor Fu) Director: Marco Mak Con: Eric Tsang, Francis Ng Shawn Yue, Jordan Chan y Julian Cheung. 2006 La avalancha de policías secretos en la gran pantalla continúa con Wo Hu, de Marco Mak. Cuando mil agentes secretos son llamados para trabajar en una única misión, la presión cae sobre los gangsters. Lejos quedan los típicos guiones policíacos. En esta película el espectador verá cómo la cúpula de las tríadas superiores son derribadas y cómo la vida personal de los personajes quedará expuesta y las lealtades enturbiadas. Mak incluye un “popurrí” de detalles -comedia, romance, disputas familiares y guiños a otras películas- y le da un aire entretenido a estos estragos del inframundo. Made in Hong Kong (Xianggang Zhizao) Director: Fruit Chan Con: Som Lee, Neiky Yim, Weners Li. 1997 El Hong Kong de Fruit Chan es incluso más duro y violento que el retratado por John Woo y Ringo Lam. El filme explica la experiencia sin salida de tres adolescentes que intentan escapar del aburrimiento que invade sus vidas. No hay vistas nocturnas seductoras de la ciudad ni catárticos gunplays. Sólo amenazantes escaleras de caracol y estériles miradas en los vestíbulos de casas inacabadas. Made in Hong Kong es un filme independiente en toda regla, realizado por Chan con descartes de otros proyectos anteriores. The Longest Summer (Qunian yanhua tebie duo) Director: Fruit Chan Con: Tony Ho, Sam Lee, Jo Kuk, Gary Lai, Pang Yik Wai, Bobby Lam. 1998 La vida después de la reunificación se convierte en un tiempo de confusión y frustración para muchos de los ciudadanos de Hong Kong.

China has a natural environment, too! Consumerist and ideological eco-imaginaries in the cinema of Feng Xiaogang Corrado NERI Intro: China, Nature and the Second Modernization When discussing representations of nature on the Chinese cinematic screen, scholars and western public (via festival or DVDs) tend to underline the “rebellious” or critic awareness of environmental problems and ecology that (few, but internationally quoted) contemporary directors are rising to public’s consciousness. It is undeniably true that some Chinese film directors have indeed developed a specific, subtle discourse on nature and ecological development, and that they use their films to elevate an ecological consciousness in the local public, as well as to describe the fragile beauty of Chinese landscapes and transmit the memory of its menaced magnificence.
