The document provides an industry analysis of The Body Shop using Porter's five forces model. It discusses the company's history and founding. For each of Porter's five forces - threat of new entry, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, threat of substitute products, and competitive rivalry - the document analyzes how it applies to The Body Shop's industry. It finds that threat of new entry and competitive rivalry are high forces, while bargaining power of suppliers and buyers are low. The threat of substitute products is medium. The analysis suggests that while The Body Shop was once differentiated, increased competition has reduced its differentiation and market share over time.
The American Cinematheque will present the 2nd Annual Contemporary Mexican Films Series from October 4-7, 2002 at the Lloyd E. Rigler Theatre in Hollywood.

The document announces the schedule for the New Jersey Film Festival Spring 2015, which will include several documentary and short films shown over multiple dates from January 31 to March 1, 2015 at Rutgers University. Some of the films featured include "Riot on the Dance Floor" about an iconic New Jersey music venue, documentaries about a guitar camp and Chinese fishermen, and short narrative films from various countries.

The document traces the history and evolution of horror films from the early 20th century to present day. It discusses how the genre has reflected societal fears over time, from mystical monsters in the silent era to threats of radiation and science experiments in the 1950s to human monsters and disturbed families in the 1970s. More recent trends include "found footage" films, remakes, and horrors exploring post-9/11 fears and the rise of technology. The genre continues to adapt based on changing audience fears and interests.
The Relocation of Le Fanu’s Carmilla to the Mexican context in Alu...PaulinaOdeth
Alucarda (1977), directed by Juan López Moctezuma, is a Mexican horror film loosely based on Carmilla (1872), by Sheridan Le Fanu. The film has achieved a cult-like status in Mexico and around the world, in part due to the director’s enigmatic figure. Though neither the protagonist, Alucarda, nor her new companion are supernatural beings, the director stated that "the film draws on the vampire tradition, and in a way the protagonist is a female vampire … but not in the sense of a blood drinker" (in Greene). In this paper, I will explore the similarities and divergences between the source material and López Moctezuma’s film, as well as the influence of Mexico’s tragic 1968 student protest on the anti-government and anti-clerical sentiment that pervades the film. At the end of this paper, I hope to elucidate how Mexican society and culture transform traditional Gothic motifs and the vampire myth to great acclaim.

Early horrors from the 1920s-1930s were dark, Gothic films featuring mythical monsters.

The 1960s saw the rise of psychological horrors about disturbed individuals. The 1970s brought mature, artistic horrors exploring social fears. Slashers emerged in the 1980s with a focus on gore and special effects. Clever meta-horrors became popular in the 1990s. Modern horrors reflect

[Hi 366] Smoke Signals: Counternarratives of Indigenous IdentityIbironkeTychus
Smoke Signals counters mainstream American ideas about indigenous identity in several ways:
1) It adopts stereotypes commonly portrayed in media like mysticism, alcoholism, and stoicism but then refutes them, showing their inaccuracy.
2) It utilizes conventions from indigenous oral traditions like emerging twins, sacred clowns, and circular time in the storytelling.

A clever crime film which makes the most of
its road movie structure, 600 Miles marks the
assured directorial debut of Gabriel Ripstein,
son of acclaimed Mexican director Arturo
Ripstein. Tim Roth (also one of the film’s
executive producers) provides a good deal
of edge and personality as Hank Harris, an
American federal agent who, whilst tracking
arms traffickers, finds himself taken prisoner
by a young wannabe criminal (talented
newcomer Kristyan Ferrer).

A brother and sister’s rite-of-passage road
trip across the parched Mexican landscape.
When teenagers Omar and Karina’s mother
suffers a stroke, they set off across Mexico
to visit their grandmother. Their journey
exposes them to people and situations they
are ill-equipped to deal with, and tensions
run high as they contend with a complex,
unforgiving adult world. Social divisions,
unrest and violence are evidenced in the
world around them in a multi-layered,
naturalistic tale of the bonds of family and
the intricacies of Mexican society.

Every day since 1995, a determined group of
women have been using all their resources
to feed hundreds of migrants passing through
La Patrona, a small village in Central Mexico,
onboard ‘The Beast’ - a seemingly never-
ending train carrying people’s hopes for a
better life. The women’s personal reflections
on life lend emotional support to a story
filled with passion and generosity.
INTRO
Mexico has a long tradition as one of the
most prolific film production countries
in Latin America. In partnership with,
and as part of, the Year of Mexico in
the UK, EIFF is bringing the very best
of Mexican cinema to Edinburgh and
the UK. Paying particular attention to
some of the most discussed films on
the international film festival circuit,
this Focus on Mexico presents a unique
selection of new feature films, classics
and a short film programme, altogether
featuring 20 films from a wide range of
genres, that we hope will nurture the
current debate on Mexican cinema.

struggling to survive after government state
pensions are suspended. The return of their

In her debut feature, director Gabriela

the concept of memory as she considers
whether her memories are her own, or
rather the recollections of others that she

Manuel Jiménez is Bankilal (eldest brother),
one of the most respected members of the
Tzotsil community in Chiapas. Serving as the
link between his compatriots and the spirits

A good time takes a dark turn…
Invited by her boyfriend Esteban (Diego
Luna) to live with him in Mexico City, Natalia
(Beatriz Arjona) is disappointed when he
remains away for work upon her arrival.
Persuaded by her friends Ana and Sofia to
join free-spirited Valeria (Ximena Gonzalez-
Rubio) for the weekend, Natalia, at first
reticent, is eventually surprised at how far
she will go to have a ‘good time’. Cleverly
reversing gender roles, this brilliantly wicked
and violent tale also provocatively addresses
notions of power and control.

A magnificent and enthralling melodrama.
One of the first Mexican films to be screened
at the Cannes Film Festival (where it
won a Grand Prix), this is one of the best
films from legendary director (and actor)
Emilio Fernández, starring Dolores del Rio
as a young indigenous woman who faces
intolerance from her own people for being
the daughter of a prostitute. A magnificent
melodrama set against the backdrop of pre-
revolution Mexico, it is one of the country’s

The first Mexican film to be nominated

enthralling film is based on B Traven’s
novel, The Third Guest (itself based on the

poor indigenous woodcutter named Macario
(Ignacio López Tarso) is befriended by
‘Death’, and given miraculous water that will
heal any disease. But his newfound powers
attract the attention of the Inquisition...

A sexually-charged, grown-up study of
infidelity, discontent and regeneration.
Unhappily married Igor and struggling single
mother Pina work together at a photocopier
factory in Mexico. Their sudden, raw lust for
one another serves as a catalyst for upheaval
in their relatively mundane, unfulfilled
lives, leading to a shocking dénouement.
This is elegant, powerful cinema, offering
a bleak and brutally honest portrayal of the
complexities of human relationships, and the
often destructive power of sexual attraction.

Sixteen years after scaling the psychedelic
heights of cult classic The Holy Mountain,
“El Topo” himself, maverick, and visionary
Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky,
returned to the ring with this spectacular
and surreal Mexican fantasy about a family
of travelling circus performers. Rife with

a young boy traumatised after witnessing
a deadly exchange between his mother

An electrifying collection of shorts that

filmmaking.
Fearlessly fixing the camera upon themes and
issues central to the experience of what it
means to be a participant in Mexican society
today, Mirroring Mexico juxtaposes satirical
and factual responses to the global financial
crisis, approaches questions of cultural
acceptance of queer identity, vividly evokes
the trials of teenage years and humorously
interrogates the cultural preoccupation with
the rituals surrounding death.

“The ‘Tirisia’ is the death of spirit, it is life
detained, it is one step from dying...”
In an isolated village in Oaxaca, two
women pregnant by the same man (Gustavo
Sánchez Parra - Amores Perros) now face
incomprehension and rejection by their
families and neighbours. In a surreal place
dominated by a deserted landscape of
poetic giant cacti, the ‘Tirisia’ (‘perpetual
sadness’) takes control of people’s souls,
leading to complex consequences. Striking
cinematography imbues this well-acted
and atmospheric drama with a strong and
memorable aesthetic.
