Learning the Art of Film Dartmouth 2024-06-25 | Video by: Signe TaylorWhen Polly Chesnokova ’24 was a first-year student and new to Dartmouth, they reached out to the Media Production Group to inquire about an internship.What followed was a four-year collaboration that taught Chesnokova about the art of film and gave MPG, which is part of the Office of Communications, a talented student to work with.Chesnokova, who is from Ukraine, went on to share in the Sudler Prize in the Arts and also found a “strong connection” between their cultural past and the creation of Ukrainian films.“That’s where I find my purpose,” says Chesnokova, who made a short film related to the Holodomor, the Soviet-led starvation of Ukraine in the early 1930s.Signe Taylor, a senior producer at MPG who served as a mentor to Chesnokova, turned the camera on the graduating student this spring for a look behind the video curtain.
Dartmouth Baccalaureate Service 2024 Dartmouth 2024-06-13 | 2024 BACCALAUREATEKey Note Speaker: Dr. Andrew Nalani '16, Ph.D.Title: "The Hidden Blessing of a Question"The Tucker Center is excited to sponsor the Multifaith Baccalaureate Service, which will feature Dr. Andrew Nalani '16, Ph.D., as well as student speakers and the Gospel Choir. Dr. Nalani will be talking about "The Hidden Blessing of a Question." As a student, Dr. Nalani was the recipient of numerous student awards, including the Churchill Prize (awarded to a first year male student) and the Barrett Cup (awarded to a graduating senior). He was also a student speaker for the inaugural Twilight Ceremony in 2014. Dr. Nalani is an Assistant Professor of Human and Organizational Development at Vanderbilt UniversityABOUT THE SERVICEThe Baccalaureate Service seems to have originated in the early 15th century at Oxford University in England. Each graduate was obliged to deliver an oration or sermon, in Latin, to demonstrate his worthiness to receive the degree of bachelor, signified by crowning him with laurels. This service is what we now call commencement.In America, at religious colleges (like Dartmouth was at its founding and early years), the graduation ceremony included a church service, so that new graduates would understand both the seriousness of their new responsibilities and the true Source of all their achievements.Today's service has evolved greatly since the days of Eleazar Wheelock. It is now a multi-faith, multicultural service in which we celebrate what we hold in common while also recognizing each tradition's beautiful particularities. It is a time of celebration and worship when we pause, as a college, to reflect and express gratitude and joy for our graduates.Filmed on June 8, 2024Hanover, New Hampshire

African Giants and the American Hegemon: A Conversation with Vinzenz Hediger Dartmouth 2024-05-29 | Sponsored by the Montgomery Fellows Program at DartmouthAfrican Giants and the American Hegemon:Artists from megacities like Lagos or Seoul challenge the century-old global ascendancy of US cultural industries with Nollywood films, Afrobeats, K-Pop, and K-Drama. A Conversation with Vinzenz Hediger:In 1976 the Nigerian government produced a feature film, “Shehu Umar”, which was based on a Hausa language novel and premiered at FESTAC 77, the pan-African culture festival hosted by Nigeria. The film then disappeared – a key work of a post-colonial cinema which was given for lost and has only recently been rediscovered and restored. Today, Nigeria is one of the most prolific and successful producers of films and music worldwide.What has changed? Just as new contenders like China, India or Brazil challenge the political and economic hegemony of the United States, megacities like Lagos, Istanbul, Mumbai, Seoul or Djakarta have emerged as new global centers of cultural production. Driven by a combination of affordable digital technologies, entrepreneurial ingenuity and cultural distinctiveness (plus, usually, a dose of hands-off government policy), Nollywood films, Afrobeats artists like Whizkid and Burnaboy, Korean K-Pop and K-Dramas now challenge the century-old ascendancy of US cultural industries from classical Hollywood cinema to the latest US global superstar, Taylor Swift.But how much power do the “new kings of the world” really wield, as Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto calls them? Do we witness the dawn of a “new world order of cultural production”, or just a new iteration of US hegemony with minor variations? A historical perspective on Nigeria, based on recent work in the country’s national film archive, can be a good starting point to address these questions in a global perspective.Filmed on Wednesday, April 3, 2024Hanover, New Hampshire
