	glbtq >> arts >> Hong Kong Film
		As these various cultural and historical strands continued to intertwine in light of the decriminalization of homosexuality in 1991 and Hong Kong's reversion to China in 1997, filmmaking in Hong Kong eventually came to terms with, exploited, and often blurred the lines between Chinese traditions of gender ambiguity and Westernized "out" politics.
		Years later, director Shu Kei's "out" lesbian film Hu-du-Men (1996) would provide a rich account of a Cantonese opera actress coping with her lesbian daughter, joining traditional and modern notions of Chinese queerness in the same family.
		Unlike the "permanent" cross-dressing of the traditional opera film, however, this new costume film would only involve diegetic cross-dressing, where we are fully aware that a character only cross-dresses to fulfill some purpose in the plot.

	BFI \| Features\| The BFI 100
		The spread of films throughout the bfi 100 is equally fascinating.
		That films from the 1960s feature so strongly points to an appreciation of the great changes in British cinema during that decade, when angrier voices like those of Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, John Schlesinger and Joseph Losey led the way and were allowed to focus on social issues as well as pure drama.
		Some might argue that 17 films from the 1990s points more to the fact that these are closer and therefore better remembered.

	“Film Remakes” by Constantine Verevis
		As is the case with genre films, such remakings can deliver the twin gratifications of repetition and innovation, though the prolificacy of remakes has sometimes led to accusations of Hollywood’s lack of imagination, of its merely playing safe.
		Homages are common enough in films without one’s being likely to reach for the term “remake” and “influence” is not of itself congruent with remake, though it may inform a later film.
		The chapter entitled “Texts” also refers to the function of genre affiliations in relation to remakes, arguing that a remake may have more in common with a contemporaneous genre cycle than with the specific anterior text, and this fascinating intertextuality is explored in detail in the succeeding chapter, “Genres”.

	Films policiers (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Films policier is a portmanteau term which generally refers to the crime-thriller genre of French cinema, often in the context of trench coat wearing gangsters and tough ageing police inspectors.
		The film policier invariably centres around an outsider (a law-enforcer or a law-breaker) who assumes the moral high ground and is engaged in a fight for survival against a mightier adversary.
		This stylish mix of film noir and western became one of the definitive policiers of the 1970s, crafted by perhaps the only French film director to truly master the genre.

	Film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Film is considered by many to be an important art form; films entertain, educate, enlighten and inspire audiences.
		Stock widths and the film format for images on the reel have had a rich history, though most large commercial films are still shot on (and distributed to theaters) as 35 mm prints.
		Film preservation of decaying film stock is a matter of concern to both film historians and archivists, and to companies interested in preserving their existing products in order to make them available to future generations (and thereby increase revenue).

	Introduction to Film Stocks
		Negative film must be kept in the dark, until it is exposed in the camera or laboratory, which means that the camera or printer must be loaded in the dark.
		Reversal film is not placed in a bath of fixer or hypo after being developed, thus that part of the emulsion which would have been dissolved in a fixer bath remains as a positive image.
		In that process, the original film and an unexposed film are both passed through a printer at the same time and exposed to light, resulting in the transfer of the image from the original to the copy.

	Revolution in Russia - www.theage.com.au
		Films coming out of Russia are increasingly meditative, subtle evocations of a nation reeling from the dislocation caused by the tumultuous passage from communism to capitalism and democracy.
		When state subsidies dried up with the demise of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, Russia's film industry became the handmaiden of newly rich businessmen eager to milk a revered cultural institution for a quick profit, but who were unskilled in filmmaking.
		Their films continue to be guided by the notion that a film must have an idea, a message, convey the national spirit somehow."

	Central Europe Review - Croatian film in the 1990s
		The late 1980s were generally a period of crisis for the old-fashioned European auteur film, as a postmodernist mentality and Hollywood's economic boom shifted filmmakers' interests toward narration, genre films and an ironic twist on popular-culture traditions.
		In the late 1990s, using industry factories as a source and mortgage for unrealistic bank credits, politically protected tycoons sucked national coffers dry, causing the collapse of the nation's banking system and an absurd increase in unemployment to 25 percent.
		By the late 1990s, the social crisis had reached its peak and, at the end of Crvena prašina, when police shoot the brick factory worker-rebel and war hero, Croatian film finally opened its eyes to the increasing social, economic and moral crisis of the decaying Tuđman regime.

		The film presents a provocative hypothesis: with the collapse of socialism and the demise of the Bulgarian computer industry in 1989, viruses were used as a form of social protest against increasing western encroachment during the transition from socialism to capitalism.
		The film also sets out to unravel the murky history of women’s roles in the socialist republics through the fascinating story of the development of the first personal computer in Bulgaria: the Pravetz II.
		This quirky film noir documentary offers a cogent analysis of women’s labor in transition economies, globalization, women and technology and the bizarre machinations of east and west during the Cold War.

		The film of a woman's passion for her music and her lover in The Piano refuses 'woman as victim' and the doomed scenario for the 19th century heroine (just as the film plays with this, affirming life and her love) while objectifying and eroticizing the Harvey Keital figure as we look with her at him.
		The film shows how different the city culture was from the rural culture and it creates an homology between the experience of the dispossessed Matilda and her 'friend', a Vietnamese refugee.
		The film is a gentle satire with enormous affection for its characters.

	1990s AD White House Studies - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While Hollywood has released a flurry of presidency-centered and related films in the 1990s, the vast majority of these movies present individual presidents and the institution of the presidency in a most negative light.
		This review of the intersection of film and politics chronicles the explosion of presidency films in the 1990s and examines Hollywood's depictions of the various elements of the presidency as an institution, comparing and contrasting the portrayal of the presidency in the 1990s with films from other eras.
		Films featuring socio-political themes, hot-button issues, government officials, and critiques of the state of the human, or at least national, condition continue to be made--albeit somewhat infrequently and with varying degrees of success.

		But he's so enamored with the films he was inspired by that he seems to have nothing at all to say that is original, and his work rings hollow after subsequent viewings.
		Naive critics hurt this film (right after the release, popular opinion among film buffs seemed to sway towards Scorsese-is-repeating-himself), but long after the herd mentality of their way of thinking has vanished this film will be seen for what it is: an American masterpiece.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Contemporary Israeli Film
		In the late 1990s and the beginning of the millennium, a new generation of Israeli filmmakers moved to the fore.
		What these films generally avoided, however, was the most dramatic, most all-encompassing aspect of Israeli life from the early 1990s forward: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the abortive Oslo peace process.
		Israelis look to films for a chance to wrestle with their country’s demons, and this seeming limitation of Israeli film has become, in the end, its salvation.

		The story follows four different tales: the national drug enforcer for the United States, the wealthy family of a dealer in San Diego, the FBI agents trying to end the war on drugs, the Mexican community where the crop is processed.
		This idea of complex perspectives is a common trope in the film, and we are always guessing along with the characters who we can trust, who we can side with, who is "good" and who is not.
		Douglas reported in an interview that one of the most fulfilling aspects of making the film for him was to hear from these folks how honest and true to life the film was.

	Film History of the 1990s
		In the early 1990s, box-office revenues had dipped considerably, due in part to the American economic recession of 1991, but then picked up again by 1993 and continued to increase.

	Blood Diamond - Film Reviews - Film - Entertainment - theage.com.au
		Set in the small African country of Sierra Leone in the 1990s, the film explores the dark world of the blood diamond trade, where rough diamonds are used to fund militia rebels at war with their government.
		Blood Diamond is the latest in a string of films that portray Africa as a place of evolutionary contradiction: it is where civilisation was born but it is also seen cinematically as the place where civilisation often gives way to barbarity and anarchy.
		Long before its release, the film's story was attracting media attention, throwing the spotlight on the diamond trade and prompting many diamond companies to publicly defend their products as being "conflict-free".

		Thus Metz only barely touches on attempts to "defictionalize" film, that is, on gestures that interrogate or reflect on the cinematic medium in the course of the film.
		American films from the 1990s that pretend that stars are not there, when they are, do not make sense.
		This book is not a history of European film, nor does its survey of American film stand or fall on its theory, but I will remind the reader from time to time of other films that work through this same disorienting ontology.
