To conclude our first panel, Chuanhui Meng of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities argues that Cold War-era “genre internationalism” engendered categories as the ethnic minority musical and documentary art film, which served as “tools for the construction of socialist China”

Pitt’s own Chi-Tsung Chang discusses the cultural references in the Taiwanese release’s subtitles of EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE as part of a distributed notion of authorship, “granting translators the same discursive privilege” traditionally given to directors and writers

Our first panelist, University of Iowa’s Dana Alston, discusses the “broader veil of authority” of A24 as well as the transmutability of its logo, itself a “commodifying tool of brand ideation”
