This talk will focus on the analysis of local cultural policy measures related to the notion of “yimin”, such as the invention of the concept of the “Spirit of the Three Gorges migration” (三峽移民精神), or the creation of parks, festivals and museums dedicated to the “Culture of the Three Gorges migration” (三峽移民文化).

Public talk: Claire Denis, French filmmaker, global-local artist
Jean-Michel FRODON will be introducing Claire Denis' work, its singularity as well as its inscription in the larger frame of French modern cinema. Claire Denis is a Paris-based filmmaker and one of the major artistic voices of contemporary French cinema.  Claire Denis made her film debut in 1988 with Chocolat, a luminous depiction of malaise of the post-colonial world.  Claire Denis has developed a highly individualistic style, favoring visual and sound elements over dialogue, and her editing technique has been compared to jazz improvisation for its rhythmic quality.  Claire Denis' latest film is White Material (2009).  The lecture will emphasize on how and why Claire Denis' work is simultaneously rooted in specific areas and addressing the globalization process in very original ways. 

Jean-Michel FRODON is a journalist, film critic, writer, professor. He was a journalist and film critic at weekly "Le Point" (1983-1990), "Le Monde" (1990-2003) and Editorial Director of “Cahiers du cinema” (2003-2009).
