<div class="event_single_venue">The Single Screen, Block 43 Malan Road<br /><br /><strong><em>Olosho </em>(2015) | 15 mins</strong></div>
<p><em>Olosho </em>is a powerful short film exploring the ongoing land-rights struggle by the Maasai Community in Loliondo, from the perspective of those on the frontline. It was created by six members of the Tanzania Maasai community who, for over two decades, have been battling foreign companies and their own government to protect their territory. <em><u>Olosho</u></em> was facilitated by InsightShare in collaboration with the United Nations Association of Finland and the Loliondo-based NGO-Net. It was undertaken with funding from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.</p>
<p><strong><em>Our Generation </em>(2010) | 73 mins</strong></p>
<p><em>Our Generation </em>is a rollercoaster journey into the heart of Australia’s indigenous relations, a hidden shame that is pushing the world’s oldest living culture to the edge. Through the stories of the Yolngu of Northeast Arnhem Land, the film looks at the Government’s ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, examines the real issues underlying indigenous disadvantage, and opens dialogue on ways forward that respect Aboriginal culture and dignity.<br /><br /><span>This screening is part of the public programme of </span><span><em>Amar Kanwar: The Sovereign Forest</em></span></p>

Reassemblage, Trinh T. Minh-ha, 1982 16mm film transferred to digital, colour, sound, 40 min Rating: PG13 (This film contains some nudity) <br /><br />With her remarkable and widely discussed first film, Trinh brings the conventions of the documentary to our attention and asks how films in the field of documentary and ethnographic tradition have consecutively established a power to manipulate the way in which we perceive different cultures. By gathering filmic means and techniques that reject the traditional narrative forms, Trinh constantly alerts us to our own process of perception, furthermore reminding us that watching a movie is not a passive, but an active process. <br />

<p>This film programme was originally intended to be screened on-site in parallel with the exhibition <b><i>Non-Aligned</i></b>. During Singapore’s Circuit-Breaker period, selected films were available to be streamed on our website for limited periods of time, even after the Centre re-opened to the public on 27 June 2020. As of 18 August 2020, the Film Programme is being screened exclusively on site in the Single Screen, with limited capacity and physical distancing measures in place. NTU CCA Singapore gratefully acknowledges the collaboration of the curators, filmmakers, and distributors in making online screening possible during the global COVID-19 crisis.</p>
<p>____</p>
<p>This programme features films that engage post-colonial processes covering different moments and geopolitical contexts. The Asian-African Conference in 1955, known as the Bandung Conference, amidst the complex processes of decolonization, established self-determination, non-aggression, and equality as part of the core values that then formed the Non-Aligned Movement. This history is unpacked and contextualised through this series of screenings.</p>
<p>Co-curated by writer and curator<span> </span><strong>Mark Nash</strong><span> </span>and film researcher <strong>Vladimir Seput</strong>.</p>
<p>Screening on loop during opening hours.</p>
<p><strong>Joris Ivens,<span> </span><em>Indonesia Calling,<span> </span></em>1946 <br /></strong>35mm transferred to digital file, b&w, sound, 22 min</p>
<p>This film shows the role trade union seaman and waterside workers in Sydney played in Indonesia’s independence struggle after World War II. Comprising different nationalities and races, they united together to prevent the departure of Indonesia-bound Dutch ships that carried weapons meant to bring the Indonesian National Revolution to a halt. The film seeks to distil aspects of the historical context of the events depicted in the film and gives insight to the major re-alignments in the relationship between Australia and Indonesia.</p>
<p>4 – 16 August 2020 (On loop in The Single Screen and also available online) <br /><strong>First conference of Non-Aligned Movement, 1961<br /></strong>Archive footage, colour, sound, 10 min 51 sec</p>
<p>Archive footage from the first conference of the 1961 Non-Aligned Movement,<em> </em>otherwise known as the Belgrade Conference, presenting historical events from the meeting. The inaugural conference was initiated by three key figures: Josip Broz Tito, President of Yugoslavia; Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of Egypt; and Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India. Attended by 25 countries from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the conference is a direct response to the division of sphere of influence settled between the major world forces after WWII and the Cold War, enabling members to independently formulate their own position in international politics.</p>
<p>18 – 23 August 2020 (On loop in The Single Screen)<br /><strong>Ousmane Sembène,<span> </span><em>Borom Sarret</em>, 1963<br /></strong>35mm transferred to digital file, b&w, sound, 18 min</p>
<p><em>Borom Sarret</em>, considered to be the first African film by a black African, is a portrayal of poverty and inequality in postcolonial Africa. It follows the daily life of a Dakar “borom sarret”, or cart driver in Wolof (a language of Senegal), who is constantly being taken advantage of by others. Feeling hopeless about his situation, he compares modern life to that of a working slave, imprisoned in a cycle of poverty. </p>
<p>Restored in 2013 by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project in association with Institut National de l’Audiovisuel and the Sembène Estate. Restoration work was carried out at Laboratoires Éclair and Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory. Restoration funding provided by Doha Film Institute. </p>
<p><strong>Mikhail Kalatozov,<span> </span><em>I am Cuba (Soy Cuba)</em>, 1964<br /></strong>35mm transferred to digital file, b&w, sound, 141 min</p>
<p>Narrated by Raquel Ravuelta, a seminal figure in Cuban theatre, film, television and radio, as “The Voice of Cuba,”<span> </span><i>I am Cuba</i> follows four stories of Cubans during the Cuban Revolution. Maria works at a Havana nightclub; Pedro is a tenant farmer; Enrique, a young university student, is part of the intellectual resistance; and Mariano is a peasant who joins the rebel army. The script was co-authored by the Cuban novelist Enrique Pineda Barnet and the Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko.</p>
<p>25 – 30 August 2020 (Every hour in The Single Screen)<br /><strong>Ousmane Sembène,<span> </span><em>Black Girl (La noire de… ),<span> </span></em>1966 <br /></strong>35mm transferred to digital file, b&w, sound, 60 min</p>
<p>The film chronicles Senegal’s first years of independence by following a young ambitious woman, Diouana, who moves to the French Riviera with a bureaucrat and his wife who return to France after working in Dakar. Originally hired as the family nanny, she becomes enslaved as a maid in France. A human drama and a radical political statement, <em>Black Girl</em> critiques the enduring colonial mind-set of a supposedly postcolonial world. <em>Black Girl</em> was Ousmane Semb<strong>è</strong>ne’s first feature film and the first black African feature film which screened at Cannes. It alsowon the Prix Jean Vigo and top prize at the Carthage Film Festival. </p>
<p>Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Film Foundation. <br />Restored by Cineteca di Bologna/ L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with the Sembène Estate, Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, INA, Eclair laboratories and the Centre National de Cinématographie. Restoration funded by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project. </p>
<p>1 – 6 September 2020 (12pm, 1.45pm, 3.30pm, 5.15pm in The Single Screen)<br /><strong>Tomás Gutiérrez Alea,<span> </span><em>Memories of Underdevelopment,<span> </span></em>1968<br /></strong>35mm transferred to digital file, b&w, sound, 97 min</p>
<p>The film’s narrative, based on the novel <em>Inconsolable Memories</em> by Edmundo Desnoes, is presented through the lens of Sergio, a wealthy bourgeois aspiring writer, during the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. His family decides to retreat to Miami during the turmoil of social changes. The film is interspersed with real-life documentary footage of protest and political events in which Sergio’s life and personal relationship unfolds. As the threat of foreign invasion looms over Sergio, his desire for companionship also intensifies. </p>

<p><strong>Karpo Godina,<em><span> </span>Litany of Happy People (Zdravi ljudi za razonodu)</em>, 1971</strong> <br />35mm transferred to digital file, colour, sound, 15 min</p>
<p>The <em>Litany of Happy People </em>is a song-film about the diverse group of people living harmoniously in rural Vojvodina, an autonomous province of Serbia known for its multi-cultural and multi-ethnic identity. The film presents families with multi-ethnic backgrounds, standing in front of their seemingly similar but colourful rural houses. The film won numerous awards at short film festivals.</p>

<p>This film presents an almost journalistic report of the female textile workers and male military soldiers in the Macedonian village of Stip. Interwoven with military footage and shots of the village, the alternating scenes present the two groups in proximity, while being completely isolated. The film went through a thorough restoration process in 2016 and was shown at the 30th edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna, Italy. </p>

<p>This film interrogates the life and work of Frantz Fanon, a highly influential anti-colonial writer, civil rights activist, and psychoanalytic theorist from Martinique.

<b><br /></b>Brianne Cohen’s talk will focus on the image of <em>The Burning Car </em>in relation to Thomas Hirschhorn<span>’s </span> (Switzerland/France) socially engaged artworks, from his neighbourhood pieces to his recent installation, Flamme éternelle (Eternal Flame, 2014), at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The artist’s socially-oriented artworks model and instantiate preventive publics, a term employed by Cohen in order to mark not only their bringing together of diverse strangers, but also their calling for durational, self-organised, and non-exclusionary relations among such strangers in order to prevent violence. Much of Hirschhorn’s gallery-based work assaults viewers with generalised, graphic documentation of conflict and death. Yet it is his socially engaged pieces that, at their core, respond with sociohistorical specificity to the image and underlying slow violence (Rob Nixon) of the burning car—or in other words, the violence of economic precarity, racism, ghettoisation, and police harassment in the marginalised suburbs of major European cities. Hirschhorn’s summer-long, neighbourhood installations negotiate between diverse local and international publics and offer a more positive, alternative framework for circulating discourse concerning such stigmatised groups in the larger public domain. Ultimately, their form of political activism is preventive, making their immediate public impact less direct or quantifiable but their long-term repercussions more meaningful. <br /><br />This talk is presented as part the Mapletree-NTU CCA Singapore Art Education Programme series.
