August 14, 2006
Aloha to all returning ACM students and other friends of the program. As you
lock and load for Fall 2006, here are a few things to keep in mind.
GOOD SEATS, GOOD CLASSES
Seats are still available in several of our prime Critical Studies courses.
Combine your love of cinema with a course that will count toward an ACM
major, or as an upper-division elective for other students:
INFLUENTIAL DIRECTORS - Wednesday, 9:30 am - 12:20 pm. Spend your midweek
morning with Woody Allen - or watching him, at least, along with the works
of other filmmakers who have refined and redefined the language of film.
Instructor Konrad Ng will introduce you to the auteurs who have put their
personal signature on cinema.
MELODRAMA IN ASIAN CINEMA - Friday, 1:30 - 4:20 pm. Prof. Wimal Dissanayake
literally wrote the book on this subject. Asia has an insatiable appetite
for producing and consuming film. You'll be amazed at the things you'll
learn about Asian cinema, from one of the best internationally recognized
scholar in the field.
CERTIFICATION WORKSHOPS FOR ACM 310 and ACM 455 - If you're enrolled - or
planning to - in Cinematic Narrative Production or Indigenous Filmmaking,
remember that you have to complete a certification workshop (or receive a
waiver from the instructor) in camera and editing fundamentals. The first
workshop will be Saturday - August 19 - from 9 am to 4 pm. It's put on by
Pacific New Media and will meet on campus in Krauss 012 for the morning
session. Registration is through Outreach College and the cost for the
workshop is $100. See:
www.outreach.hawaii.edu/pnm/programs/2006/EVENT-L08433.asp.
GAME DESIGNER, DIGITAL ARTIST EDDO STERN
Electronic Media Artist and former game programmer Eddo Stern will be on
campus Sept. 12-15 for the Intersections Program, co-sponsored by ACM.
Stern, whose work powerfully comments on technology and media culture, will
give a public lecture at 7:30 pm Sept. 12 in the Art Auditorium. Stern's
interests span new narrative and documentary modes and
cross-cultural/cross-media representations in film, computer games and on
the Internet. He'll be invited to drop in on selected ACM classes as well.
An exhibition of his works, DARK MACHINIMA, will be held at KCC's Koa
Gallery from Sept. 13-Oct. 6.
HELP WANTED
A television ballroom dance competition is looking for camera operators.
Dates are Sept. 21-23, at the Sheraton Waikiki. A stipend of $400 for all
three days is available, and lunch is provided. Interested? Contact Adam
Burnett at adam.burnett@vacationclub.com.
GIRL FeST
The GiRL FeST International Film Festival, at The Honolulu Academy of Arts.
Girl Fest Hawaii unites organizations and filmmakers around the world to
focus on, and to provide a platform for, films made by or for women. Among
the many great films this year are: "Beyond Beats and Rhymes," a documentary
by Byron Hurt about misogyny in Hip-Hop culture; "Barang" an eye-opening
account of a handful of college students in Cambodia; and "Awake Zion" which
draws the link between Orthodox Judaism and Rastafarianism. September 14th
to September 17th at the Doris Duke Theater.
GOLDEN HONU AWARD FOR PLASTIC LEIS
ACM Student Filmmaker Ty Sanga won yet another award for his PLASTIC LEIS -
the Golden Honu for best Hawaiian Short at the first Big Island Film
Festival in May. Also at the BIFF were ACM Asst. Prof. Anne Misawa and
student filmmaker Jason Ordenstein, who spoke on local filmmaking. Jason's
WAITING TO SURFACE was also screened.
Plastic Leis", an advance production short, directed by Ty Sanga, won the
Best Hawaiian Short
WASSUP, ROCKERS?
Your last chance to see Larry Clark's latest unyielding gaze at contemporary
teen culture. From the director of hard-hitting KIDS and BULLY, Clark hits
the streets of South Central Los Angeles. WASSUP ROCKERS is based on the
real life experiences of a group of Latino teenagers who make their way into
the heart of Beverly Hills, where they attract local rich girls and plenty
of trouble with the police, jealous boyfriends and nervous parents. Tuesday
through Thursday at 1 pm and 7:30 pm at the Doris Duke Theatre, Honolulu
Academy of Arts.
Coming to the Doris Duke, the very powerful THE PROPOSITION, Australian
director John Hillcoat's Outback Western written by Nick Cave (yes, that
one) and starring Guy Pearce. Aug. 25-31, various times.
CHECK THIS OUT AT SINCLAIR
Clint Eastwood: Out of the Shadows. Excellent documentary on the life and
art of the filmmaker/actor. At the Wong A/V Center. Call No. DVD 3711.
