This paper investigates the impulses, motives and conditions that are positively associated and problems, hurdles and concerns that are the obstacles in the resurgence of 21st century Pakistani film industry. It also gauges the priorities and concerns of young moviegoers and compares with the priorities and concerns of our young generation of filmmakers. To achieve this end we employed both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and came up with following results that Pakistan’s screen to film production ratio is one of the best in the world. It is vehemently in search of its distinctive identity and plays, sometimes immaturely, with different genres are evidence to it. We see a visible drift from conventional Indo Pak Masala genre to social drama, physical reality, war movies and Wuxia. Production facilities of Pakistani film industry have been significantly improved and in terms of equipment Pakistani film industry is no more far behind Bollywood and Hollywood as it used to be even in the times of Khuda Kay Leay (KKL). Different production processes are gradually becoming worthier; cinematography, sound design and post production effects have been admired whereas viewers are critical about the standard of music, choreography, production budget, code switching, acting, script writing and screen playwright. Researchers found that most of the filmmakers complain about dearth and substandard script and screen play. Moreover, film viewers also complain about lack of originality in the script. Young filmmakers also complain about the dearth of trained human resources, who may use the modern equipment to its optimum level of output. Young viewers more or less face a paradox, they claim that they aspire to see their local culture and local social issues in Pakistani movies, they yearn to see local culture in Pakistani movies but when they are exposed to the choice to select either Pakistani film or Indian, they choose Indian movie hoping to get better entertainment value in terms of visual pleasure; a fact that requires separate in depth research about the psychology of young Pakistani film spectatorship.

Perception System

Based on the regularities of the first stage of lifecycle for the social system of industrial education it is predicted the status of initiation for education and perception system around the turn of the anthropocene eon. It is emphasized that the process of the new age education system set- up takes place in self-organizing mode. For this purpose, the following is assessed: 1) the state of the “spirit of the era”, that carries an personalized (information, network, knowledge, digital) society, as an example of a new type of life order for the global community; 2) worldview imperatives of eco-humanistic filling of the educational community of the planet; 3) ideological guidelines for sustainable development; 4) conceptual prerequisites for the formation of a new education type that do not correspond in any way to the transformation of the violent paradigm of education and upbringing of young people of the technocratic age; 5) the state of fundamental science as a reason that, on the basis of mastering a new classification of social labor, should generate a modernization of education content in the 21st century; 6) the content of the involved segment of senseogenesis, which gives rise to a new division of information work in order to qualitatively service new operation forces, leading to the benefits of the development of spiritual production over material. It is prognosed that the new social division of labor will form a qualitatively new nomenclature of workers in domain of national and international education. The problems of the current state of the theory of education and pedagogy are revealed, those does not have time to produce perspectives of national and international educational policies relevant to the needs of the planet’s social organism. The attention of educators focused on the inadequacy of the existing pedagogical and organizational facilities to impact on the formation of creative personality, since they only improve the conservation of the industrial education system. The planetary personality is justified as the ideal of an educated person of the 21st century and the ultimate goal of education and upbringing in the World Knowledge Society. The principle of personalization / individualization is defined as the main parameter of managing the generation of the future education system. Emphasis is placed on the benefits of an open system of education that enhances the degree of individual freedom in a globalized world. Educators and education managers are encouraged to turn to the principles of evolution, which more strongly contribute to the spread of human activity in the school. The attractiveness of the idea of self-education for the modern young generation in the virtual space of the information age is emphasized.

The focus of this research was to investigate the effect of green market orientation on business performance. For that purpose, this research tested that green market orientation has a direct effect on business performance, that green market orientation affects green innovation, and that green innovation affects business performance. As a quantitative research, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS–SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. Data were collected by using both online and offline questionnaires from owners/managers of the manufacturing micro, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the East Java Province of Indonesia. A total of 175 respondents participated in this study. The results show that green market orientation has a positive and direct effect on business performance. The results empirically support the theory of sustainability and entrepreneurship in the research setting of Indonesian MSMEs. The results also imply that the owners/managers of MSMEs need to balance economic, environmental, and social issues in their business. In the era of sustainable development and environmental awareness, manufacturing MSMEs need to adopt a green market orientation and carry out green innovation in their business processes to obtain a better business performance.

Hollywood makes the most widely successful pleasure-giving artworks the world has ever known. The American film industry operates under the assumption that pleasurable aesthetic experiences, among large populations, translate into box office success. More than any other historical mode of art, Hollywood has systematized the delivery of aesthetic pleasure, packaging and selling it on a mass scale. If the Hollywood film industry succeeds in delivering aesthetic pleasure both routinely and, at times, in an outstanding way, then we should ultimately regard Hollywood cinema as an artistic achievement, not merely a commercial success. Hollywood Aesthetic accounts for the chief attraction of Hollywood cinema worldwide: its entertainment value. The book addresses four fundamental components of Hollywood’s aesthetic design: narrative, style, ideology, and genre. Grounded in film history and in the psychological and philosophical literature in aesthetics, the book explains: (1) the intrinsic properties characteristic of Hollywood cinema that induce aesthetic pleasure; (2) the cognitive and affective processes, sparked by Hollywood movies, that become engaged during aesthetic pleasure; and (3) the exhilarated aesthetic experiences afforded by an array of persistently entertaining Hollywood movies. Offering a comprehensive appraisal of the capacity of Hollywood cinema to provide aesthetic pleasure, the book sets out to explain how Hollywood creates, for masses of people, some of their most exhilarating experiences of art.

In this article, we consider the audio-visual production carried out by black women in Brazil since the second decade of the 21st century. Our objective is to propose a reflection, adopting an intersectional approach, on how an oppositional gaze creates images that break with racist stereotypes and challenge whiteness (hooks, 1992). We argue that the production of black women in Brazil questions the reproduction of institutional racism and digs deeper into the issue of colonial past. They create a narrative dispute that the oppositional feminine gaze imposes on the film industry.

The Impact

The IRRESISTIBLE Project (FP7, Grant 612367) had the aim of involving teachers, students and the public in the discussion on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), promoting both the construction of knowledge on cutting-edge (and controversial) research topics and the discussion about the criteria that these research/innovation processes should respect in order to be considered as responsible. These criteria also represent a strong contribution to a more sustainable future for all. This quantitative research evaluates the impact of IRRESISTIBLE’s student-curated exhibitions – about the RRI dimensions of cutting-edge research topics (socio-scientific issues) – on students’ perceptions regarding their scientific competences and the science classes. A pre and post-questionnaire was developed, validated and applied to students from 10 countries. The overall results of the statistical analysis indicate that students improved their perceptions regarding their competences for developing exhibitions in science classes as a way of creating awareness on topics relating science-technology-society. This activity reinforced students’ perceptions that in science classes they: a) discuss current issues and how they impact their lives; b) develop socially and relevant projects; and c) learn how to influence other citizens’ decisions about social issues related to science, technology and environment with the aim of assuring a more sustainable future.
