by Jaap Kooijman Talking Heads About Whitney from Jaap Kooijman on Vimeo. Although about Whitney Houston, this audiovisual essay does not contain any image or sound of the late superstar singer who was defined by her voice.[1] Instead, I have compiled the talking head interviews with Houston’s family members, friends, and business associates from two […]

December 21, 2019/in Autumn 2019_#Gesture, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

In the turmoil of political relations between the US and Turkey, cultural activities build bridges that facilitate diplomacy and mutual understanding. In this report, I explore how the 23rd Boston Turkish Festival (BTF) serves as a deployment of film diplomacy and presents a strategic image of Turkey in the US via films. The themes covered […]

Inhuman Networks / Controversies in Digital Ethics

July 10, 2018/1 Comment/in Book Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2018_#Resolution /by Greg DeCuir

Talking about the rise of the internet is at once as trivial as it is banal. If I asked a friend a speculative question, how do I make my own sourdough culture, they would sarcastically respond, there is this new thing where you can type in these questions without asking me – it is called […]

May 28, 2017/in Festival Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2017_#True /by Greg DeCuir

An arguably late arrival in the film festival circuit (first organised in 2002), the Transilvania International Film Festival[1] has been a significant date on the FIAPF calendar since 2011. The medium-sized and competitive Romanian film festival has its focus on first and second feature films by filmmakers from virtually all around the globe while also […]

Beautiful Data / The Democratic Surround

November 4, 2015/1 Comment/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage', Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

As the future approaches, equally digital and messy, it appears that there is considerable need for a thorough re-thinking of the postwar period which to a large extent determined the course of the current conditions. Such a broadly-conceived Foucauldian ‘history of the present’ attempts to shed new light on contemporary phenomena by rethinking their genealogy […]

River-to-River Florence Indian Film Festival: The Italian response to Bollywood cinema

December 5, 2014/in Autumn 2014_'War', Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Indie Indian films have gained exponential attention from the academic community since 2011 when Delhi Belly (Abhinay Deo, 2011), a thought-provoking film produced by the Bollywood star Aamir Khan, was screened at the London Indian Film Festival. Prior to this upsurge the River-to-River Florence Indian Film Festival has strenuously promoted the value of ‘other’ Indian […]

The biennale as a device: 4th Athens Biennale

June 13, 2014/1 Comment/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2014_'Traces' /by Greg DeCuir

It is a cliché to say that times of crisis are good for art. For better or worse, this cliché seems to hold some truth for Greece during the past few years. It might be too early to evaluate the quality of art produced at this time. However, beyond any doubt, in the visual and […]
