Globalizing the Local: Irish Film and TV in 2016
Prolific producers such as Rebecca O'Flanagan (Viva, Handsome Devil), Katie Holly (the period film Love and Friendship was one of the year's biggest and most unusual Irish success stories), Rachel Lysaght (Strange Occurrences in a Small Irish Village, Hostage to the Devil) and Leslie McKimm continued to build business momentum while also being to the forefront of institutional decision processes; Holly and Lysaght were appointed as members of the IFB and McKimm as Project Manager. Output in this format has grown exponentially over the past decade with many festivals running multiple \"new Irish shorts\" programmes to accommodate four IFB funding schemes (documentary, animation, live action and micro narratives), various local and regional initiatives (e.g. Galway Film Centre, Filmbase etc.) and untold numbers of young filmmakers - inside and outside of formal education settings - who produce films that find recognition at festivals around the world. [...]perhaps most usefully for educational contexts - was the IFB funded After '16 project: nine fiction and documentary short films selected from hundreds of applications which were screened at festivals and on RTE and have recently become available in the IFI player. [...]coincidentally or not, RTE placed its chips firmly within TV3 territory by commissioning Screentime Shinawal to produce Dancing With the Stars, a localized version of the BBC's wildly successful Strictly Come Dancing. Since going on air in January 2017, Dancing With the Stars has been the most watched show on Irish television.

Alanis Obomsawin : the vision of a native filmmaker
In more than twenty powerful films, Abenaki filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin has waged a brilliant battle against the ignorance and stereotypes that Native Americans have long endured in cinema and television. In this book, the first devoted to any Native filmmaker, Obomsawin receives her due as the central figure in the development of indigenous media in North America. Incorporating history, politics, and film theory into a compelling narrative, Randolph Lewis explores the life and work of a multifaceted woman whose career was flourishing long before Native films such as Smoke Signals reached the screen. He traces Obomsawin’s path from an impoverished Abenaki reserve in the 1930s to bohemian Montreal in the 1960s, where she first found fame as a traditional storyteller and singer. Lewis follows her career as a celebrated documentary filmmaker, citing her courage in covering, at great personal risk, the 1991 Oka Crisis between Mohawk warriors and Canadian soldiers. We see how, since the late 1960s, Obomsawin has transformed documentary film, reshaping it for the first time into a crucial forum for sharing indigenous perspectives. Through a careful examination of her work, Lewis proposes a new vision for indigenous media around the globe: a “cinema of sovereignty” based on what Obomsawin has accomplished.

A glimpse into why teens turn violent
California law sends juvenile offenders aged 14 to 17 to adult court. PH Mars boy meets Earth girl in this earnest-yet-overlong sci-fi romance set in the near future. Linda Barnard It's a film that puts capital punishment itself on trial. Set during the apartheid era in South Africa, the film focuses on a lawyer and staunch opponent of capital punishment who defends a young white prison guard who kills seven black men in a bloody rampage. Warning: scenes depicting the treatment and execution of death row inmates are difficult to watch, a grim reminder of apartheid's appalling inhumanity. \"Life's funny, don't you think?\" the bear observes, adding a charming touch of farce to this mostly dramatic movie, which takes on the contours of a survival thriller and a horror movie.
