All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema by HSIN-NING CHANG has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Erin Schlumpf Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT CHANG, HSIN-NING, Ph.D., April 2017, Interdisciplinary Arts Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema Director of dissertation: Erin Schlumpf This dissertation argues that the alternative digital movies that emerged in the early 21st century Malaysia have become a part of the Malaysian national cinema. This group of movies includes independent feature-length films, documentaries, short and experimental films and videos. They closely engage with the unique conditions of Malaysia’s economic development, ethnic relationships, and cultural practices, which together comprise significant understandings of the nationhood of Malaysia. The analyses and discussions of the content and practices of these films allow us not only to recognize the economic, social, and historical circumstances of Malaysia, but we also find how these movies reread and rework the existed imagination of the nation, and then actively contribute in configuring the collective entity of Malaysia. 4 DEDICATION To parents, family, friends, and cats in my life 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Prof.

  • Introductory Chapter: Presentation of the Malaysian Situation
    Introductory Chapter: Presentation of the Malaysian Situation Introductory chapter: Presentation of the Malaysian situation: the legislative system to support cinema: instruments, policy and socio-political overview What is the role of film in society? Who decides what films to be produced? These questions are discussed in this chapter. Film can be much more than mere entertainment. By touching people's hearts,films can change their feelings and beliefs in a more effective way than legislation and education that speak to the mind.This kind of manipulation is tempting to exercise.and the strong market position of the US films has a strong impact on conveying American values around the world. A strong national film policy can strengthen the reflection of national values, and it is important to recognise independent production to ensure cultural diversity. Films can show us the path to the future or fight the battle of yesterday; it is up to the policymakers to choose. LF SEMINAR ON FILM INDUSTRIES IN ASIA AND EUROPE Presentation of the Malaysian Situation: The Legislative System to Support Cinema: Instruments and Policies Mr N Balaraman Head of Research, National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS), Malaysia Snapshot of the Malaysian Situation Malaysia is known as a land of tropical contrasts,a melting pot of cultures of three great civilisations: the Middle East, China and India. It has a colourful history dating back to when the Portuguese and English ruled the land and Arabian, Chinese and Indian sea­ farers traded spices, cotton and porcelain. With a population of about 25 million people of various ethnic origins, Malaysia is truly a cultural potpourri.

  • Tanoto Foundation Mendukung Pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals Di Indonesia
    Tanoto Foundation Mendukung Pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals di Indonesia Singapura, 5 November 2015 – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) merupakan bentuk penyempurnaan dari Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) yang sudah mencapai tahap akhir di tahun 2015. Dalam pidatonya di hadapan Sidang Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa bulan September lalu, Wakil Presiden Republik Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla menyampaikan pentingnya keterlibatan berbagai pihak termasuk masyarakat melalui kegiatan filantrofi dalam mendukung pencapaian SDGs. Indonesia telah sukses mencapai beberapa indikator kunci MDGs, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan pengentasan kemiskinan, pendidikan, peningkatan kesetaraan, dan lingkungan hidup. Meskipun demikian, masih diperlukan upaya yang lebih keras untuk mencapai indikator MDGs yang lain seperti tingkat kematian bayi dan ibu hamil, prevalensi kasus HIV/AIDS, akses terhadap air bersih di pedesaan dan tingkat melek internet di Indonesia. Dalam diskusi panel yang digelar Tanoto Foundation dan Nanyang Technological University (NTU) di Singapura, Douglas Broderick, United Nations Resident Coordinator menyatakan, “Kita harus bisa mengukur kemajuan SDGs dari waktu ke waktu.

    PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2020) 57(8): 794-806 ISSN:00333077 THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHINESE- LANGUAGE FILMS IN MALAYSIA Hongzhe Kang1,2, Megat Al Imran Yasin1*, Mohd Nizam Osman1, Lay Hoon Ang3, Mengyu Li1Assistant 1Department of Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia 2School of New Media Art, Xi’an Polytechnic University, 710048 Xi’an, Shaanxi, China 3Department of Foreign Languages, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study uses textual analysis of the relevant Chinese and English literature to examine Chinese-language films in Malaysia. Malaysian Chinese-language films have developed over the last 100 years thanks to imports, Chinese investment, the Malayanised Chinese-language film movement, the Malaysian Independent Filmmaking Movement, commercial films, the Chinese film association and film festivals. Moreover, Chinese Malaysians’ cultural identity became a national identity. Chinese-language films also turned from being independent projects to commercial ventures. Although the government has recognised Chinese-language films, the industry still lacks governmental support. Furthermore, filmmakers focus on the multicultural background of Malaysia, hoping that films can resonate among the country’s three ethnic groups. The Malaysian Chinese-language film industry needs to face the challenges of brain drain and limited audiences. From the perspective of communication strategy, filmmakers should cooperate with film companies from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for co-production, in addition to pushing Malaysian Chinese-language films into the international market. Keywords Chinese-language films, history, development, Malaysia, Singapore Article Received: 18 October 2020, Revised: 3 November 2020, Accepted: 24 December 2020 INTRODUCTION during the Ming Treasure Voyages.

  • The Sanjiangren in Singapore © 2012 Shen Lingxie
    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies, Volume 5, 2011-12 南方華裔研究雜志, 第五卷, 2011-12 The Sanjiangren in Singapore © 2012 Shen Lingxie* Introduction The Chinese population in Singapore is a migrant community, a part of the large-scale Chinese diaspora in the region set in motion by Western colonialism at the turn of the twentieth century. As with other overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, the large majority of these migrants were from southern China; the Hokkien, Teochew and Cantonese constitute three-quarters of the Chinese population in Singapore today.1 Most studies of the Chinese society in Singapore have hence focused on these dialect groups and to a lesser extent the Hakka and the Hainanese as well. Minority dialect groups such as the Sanjiangren, are in comparison almost negligible in number, and have largely been overlooked in historical writings though Liu Hong and Wong Sin Kiong have described the existence of a “Sanjiang” community in Singapore in their work Singapore Chinese Society in Transition, and Cheng Lim-Keak mentioned the “Sanjiangren” as a community that specialised in furniture and dress-making in Social Change and the Chinese in Singapore. The Shaw brothers Tan Sri Runme (邵仁枚) and Sir Run Run (邵逸夫), famed film producers and cinema owners are Sanjiangren.2 So are Chiang Yick Ching, founder of his eponymous CYC Shanghai Shirts Company that dressed Singapore’s Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, and Chou Sing Chu (周星衢) who started the bookstore chain Popular. 3 Singaporeans are well acquainted with these enterprises, but few are aware of which dialect group their founders belong to.
