Podcasts about sita sings the blues

Nina Paley is an illustrator, filmmaker, and self-described TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist). Corinna Cohn is a transwoman who happens to be Nina's good friend. According to the culture war playback, the two should be mortal enemies. Instead, they have a podcast together; Heterodorx, which focuses on their daily lives and the current state of the gender wars. In this conversation, Nina and Corinna talk with Meghan about what drew them together as friends, how the podcast emerged, and, above all, how their individual experiences around sex roles, stereotypes and power differentials led to their “gender critical” stance. They also get candid about their relationships to their own sexuality. Nina recalls her adventures in sex positivity in the San Francisco counter culture in her younger years, including putting makeup on her crossdressing boyfriends. Corinna speaks candidly about the physical, psychological and sexual effects of her transition, at age 19, and why she urges caution in kids now seeking medicalized transition. Finally, Nina explains why she uses he/him pronouns for Corinna and Corinna explains why this doesn't bother her since she has better things to do. This episode is sponsored by Better Help online therapy.    Guest Bios: Corinna Cohn writes about life having undergone the process of gender transition as a teenager in the 1990s. Corinna's writing has appeared in Quillette and the Washington Post.   Nina Paley is the creator of the critically acclaimed animated musical feature films Sita Sings The Blues and Seder-Masochism, a 2006 Guggenheim Fellow, and Free Culture advocate. Find her at https://blog.ninapaley.com.

Eixo Filosofia em tela: leituras filosóficas de filmes Filme: Sita sings the blues Comentários: Rogério Severo Debatedora: Leticia Bueno Sita Sings the Blues é um filme de animação sobre o épico indiano Ramayana, narrado simultaneamente a partir de quatro perspectivas. O tema principal do filme é o amor incondicional de Sita por Rama, que sistematicamente a recusa. Esse é um filme sobre amores incondicionais e corações partidos, sentimentos incompreensíveis e inevitáveis que moldam a vida de todos nós. O filme está disponível no YouTube (com legendas) no endereço: https://youtu.be/1QkYOqI3jSM Links: Instagram: janelas_filosoficas Facebook: @janelasfilosoficas Youtube: IFCHdaUFRGS Youtube: Janelas Filosoficas

Based on the Ramayana and featuring several musical numbers by the 1930’s jazz singer Annette Hanshaw, Nina Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues (2008) is a dazzling animated treat that you can watch for free whenever you like due to its public domain status. Using various styles of animation, Paley reimagines the ancient Hindu text with a sympathetic slant towards Sita while simultaneously breathing new life into the story by weaving in parallels to her own life. Join us as we prioritize our pets, contemplate communist cheese, and reference Norman Rockwell on two separate occasions this week on Ex Rated Movies!

Nina Paley started out as a comic strip artist, including for Fluff and The Hots, as the weekly Nina's Adventures and then shifted to make independent animated films, including the controversial yet popular environmental short, The Stork. In 2002, Nina followed her then-husband to Trivandrum, India, where she read her first Ramayana. This inspired her first feature film, Sita Sings the Blues, which she animated and produced single-handedly over the course of 5 years on a home computer, featuring the lost music of jazz vocal legend Annette Hanshaw. More recently, Nina worked on the segment On Children, a segment in Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and the short This Land Is Mine depicting the Middle East conflicts over history.  Her latest acclaimed feature film, Seder-Masochism, is an animated musical comedy-drama reinterpreting events from the Book of Exodus, especially stories associated with the Passover Seder.

This adaptation of part of the Ramayama was directed and animated entirely by Nina Paley. We discuss its layered approach to storytelling, the perils of working through stories from other cultures, and how even incredibly old religious stories are personal. Sita Sings the Blues is under creative commons and can be watched for free on YouTube or on sitasingstheblues.com. P.S. by the time we uploaded Emma got a Letterboxd (uofwhales).

Welcome again to our Bootlegg'd segment, where we tune in this time to watch "Sita Sings the Blues", an animated adaptation of The Ramayana, a famous and hugely influential Indian epic. This incarnation of the story focuses on a woman's struggle to be worthy of her husband's love, but the movie is about a whole lot more, including thinly veiled domestic abuse parallels, the author's own personal struggles, and anachronistic media presentations from across the ages that somehow form a more perfect whole. And our discussion is about even more than that, so get ready for a record-breaking number of disclaimers at the top of the episode, the eternal struggle of separating content from creator, and an unreasonable number of Jojo's references. That's all!

Hey everyone!  Happy Valentine's Day! Today, we're reviewing animator Nina Paley's bittersweet but lushly animated film from 2008, Sita Sings the Blues. It's a retelling of the Indian epic poem, The Ramayana but with a creative twist that deals with relationships, faithfulness and monkey armies. Hope you like it and thank you for listening! Robbie: @lobster_writer Tracy: @tctrauscht

It is often said that nothing in life comes for free. Well in the case of artist Nina Paley, that is not entirely true. Paley decided to give her animated film Sita Sings the Blues to the masses free of charge. Using the epic Hindu poem as a catalyst for exploring the crumbling nature of her marriage, the film is both a jaunty musical and a historical tale on downside of unconditional love. Featuring various animation styles, songs by jazz artist Annette Hanshaw and witty narrating shadow puppets, Sita Sings the Blue is a treat for the senses. Before diving into the film, we take a moment to discuss our short films picks of the week: Fetch! and Dernier Acte.
