vi Film Festival
Lesbiana: A Parallel Revolution Thursday, Jan. 2, 5:30–7:30 p.m.
Myriam Fougère, writer, director, and editor; Pauline Voisard and Myriam Fougère, producers (Distributed by Groupe Intervention Video, 2012).
Lesbiana examines the role of lesbian activists of the 1970s and 1980s who created communities exclusively for women in North America. Through archival footage and interviews, the film documents the establishment of a revolutionary sisterhood, initially inspired by second wave feminism, which led to the creation of new solidarities among women in the US, Canada, and beyond. Lesbiana tracks the impact of lesbian activists and intellectuals in the making of public spaces, literature, art, music, and political culture, more generally.
Susan Freeman, Western Michigan University, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
Cosponsored by the Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender History.
Mutiny: Asians Storm British Music Friday, Jan. 3, 12:00–2:00 p.m.
Vivek Bald director, Claire Shanley and Vivek Bald producers (Mutiny Sounds Productions, 2003).
Mutiny: Asians Strom British Music explores the emergence of Asian Underground music in Britain as a form of cultural critique in the 1990s. Bald, a former DJ and now associate professor of writing and digital media at MIT, traces the links between the politics of anti-racism in post-Thatcher Britain and the creation of new music by South Asian youth. Mutiny further explores how artists established critiques of politics by producing music that combined reggae, punk, electronica, and hip-hop with classical, folk, and popular film music from South Asia to create an alternative form of British music.
Philippa Levine, University of Texas at Austin, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
Cosponsored by the North American Conference on British Studies.
They Call it Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain Friday, Jan. 3, 7:00–8:00 p.m.
Robert Lieberman, writer and director (PhotoSynthesis Productions, 2012).
This documentary was filmed secretly over a two-year period. It explores everyday life in Myanmar under the military dictatorship. Lieberman, a lecturer of physics at Cornell University, interviewed nearly 100 individuals, including the opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who was kept under house arrest for many years, to provide a wide range of critiques of the government and its policies. They Call it Myanmar provides important insights about the nature of politics, culture, and society in perhaps the most isolated country today. The film also raises the issue of filmmaking as a political act in providing a critique of the military regime that continues to govern Myanmar.
A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet Saturday, Jan. 4 12:00–2:00 p.m.
Mark Kitchell producer, director, and writer (Kitchell Films, 2013).
A Fierce Green Fire brings together five case studies in the history of environmental movements: the Sierra Club’s fight to stop the building of dams in the Grand Canyon; the battle to stop the dumping of toxic chemicals in Love Canal; the campaign to save whales; the rubber tappers’ efforts to protect the Amazon rainforest; and the struggle to fight climate change policies. Isabel Allende, Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, and others narrate these critical environmental histories in order to provide a social and political context for a popular and academic audience.
Laura J. Mitchell, University of California Irvine, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
Peepli LiveSaturday, Jan. 4, 5:00–7:00 p.m.
Anusha Rizvi, writer and director, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, producers, Mahmood Farooqui, co-director (Aamir Khan Productions, UTV, 2010).
Peepli Live is a feature film that examines the topic of “farmer suicides” in India. The film tells the story of two brothers who are bankrupt. A local moneylender suggests that one of brothers should commit suicide in order to qualify for a government assistance program set up to pay families only after a suicide. The government subsidy will help save the family farm, but the question is which brother will end his life for the sake of the rest of the family? As the brothers attempt to sort out this conundrum, the local newspaper starts covering the story of the brothers’ dilemma. Through social media, the news item spreads nationally and becomes a media sensation. The resolution of the brothers’ problem is an indictment of the nature of the culture of late capitalism in a postcolonial context. Further, Rizvi’s film provides an important critique of state policies and the role of new media in India today.
Rajit Mazumder, DePaul University, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
Cosponsored by the Society for Advancing the History of South Asia.
The film festival was organized by Vinayak Chaturvedi, University of California, Irvine

AccommodationsThe AHA has reserved substantial blocks of rooms at three hotels located in northwest Washington, near the Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle neighborhoods.
The Marriott Wardman Park (www.wardmanparkmarriott.com; 202-328-2000), located at 2660 Woodley Road N.W., will serve as headquarters and will house the AHA exhibit hall, Job Center, and AHA and affiliate sessions. The Omni Shoreham (www.omnihotels/dc.com; 202-234-0700), at 2500 Calvert Street N.W., will serve as co-headquarters and will accommodate AHA sessions and affiliate events. The rear entrance of the Marriott on Calvert Street is directly across the street from the Omni Shoreham. The Washington Hilton (www.washington.hilton.com; 202-483-3000), located at 1919 Connecticut Avenue N.W., will host AHA and affiliate sessions. A free shuttle will operate every 15 minutes from the Hilton to the Marriott and Omni hotels.
Rates at the Marriott, Omni, and Hilton are $130 single and $160 double; the additional person charge at all hotels is $30. For those with young children or wanting to maximize sleeping space, cribs and cots are complimentary at the Marriott, cots are $25 per night and Pack ‘n Plays are complimentary at the Omni; and cots are $35 flat fee for the stay and cribs are complimentary at the Hilton. All rooms are subject to city and state occupancy taxes of 14.5 percent per room, per night. Rates are in effect three days before the meeting dates (that is, from December 30), and are for a limited number of rooms only at each property. All properties are non-smoking.
Making a Hotel ReservationOnce preregistered for the Annual Meeting, attendees can make hotel reservations directly with the hotels. Each preregistrant will receive a confirmation of their registration that will include information on how to make a standard room or suite reservation. Attendees will be able to make a standard room reservation via each hotel’s web site or toll-free number. There will also be a direct-dial number for international attendees to call. Suite reservations at the Marriott can only be made by calling the hotel; at the Omni and Hilton either by phone or customized web site. Throughout the fall members can consult the AHA’s web site (www.historians.org/annual) for complete details of each property’s suite types and rates. The site will be updated frequently with availability information.
AcknowledgementHotel reservation acknowledgements are available via e-mail or mail. Acknowledgements will be e-mailed when e-mail addresses are provided unless otherwise indicated. All processing deadlines and cancellation policies are noted on acknowledgements. A reservation ID number will be provided on the acknowledgement.
Early Departure FeeSome hotels have an early departure fee. Guests wishing to avoid an early checkout fee should advise the hotel at or before check-in of any change in planned length of stay. Hotels will inform attendees of this potential charge upon check-in.
Credit Card GuaranteeAll hotels require a credit card to guarantee the reservation, or one night’s room rate and taxes if payment is to be by check. Credit cards must be valid through January 31, 2014. Major credit cards (MasterCard, Diners Club, Visa, American Express, and Discover) are accepted.
Cutoff DateThe cutoff date for the AHA’s official block at all hotels is December 11, 2013. After this date, remaining inventory in each hotel’s block will be released and rooms will be available at the AHA’s convention rates on a space-available basis at the time of reservation. Frequent updates on availability will be posted on the AHA’s web site. If hotel blocks sell out, the AHA will secure additional hotel rooms and post details on the AHA web site.
Changes, Cancellations, and New ReservationsMeeting attendees can continue to make and modify (depending on availability) or cancel reservations until a few days before their arrival. Each hotel has its own cancellation policy, which can vary from 24 hours to 72 hours prior to the reserved arrival date. If cancelled after this window, one night’s room and taxes will be charged.
If a reservation is not cancelled and the individual is a “no show,” the hotels will charge one night’s room and taxes as a penalty.
Shuttle ServiceA complimentary shuttle service will operate between the Hilton and the Marriott and Omni beginning Thursday, January 2 at 12:00 p.m. and ending Sunday, January 5 at 2:00 p.m. There will be a dispatcher at each hotel during all hours of service to maintain schedules and to assist attendees with information. Shuttles will depart four times per hour on the following schedule: Thursday, January 2, operating from 1:00 to 9:30 p.m.; Friday, January 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Saturday, January 4, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and Sunday, January 5, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

During periods of snow emergency, $15 is added to the metered fare. There is a $2 fee for telephone dispatch; there is no fee for street flags.
Public TransitThe city’s public transportation system, Metro (www. wmata.com), provides subway and rail service and is the most efficient way of getting around Washington. Five rail lines and an extensive bus system connect the District with Maryland and Virginia. Train lines are named for colors: Blue, Green, Orange, Red, and Yellow. Station entrances are marked by tall brown columns capped with the letter “M” and colored stripes indicating which lines are available. Route maps are posted at each station and inside each subway car. Trains operate Monday through Friday from 5:00 a.m. and from 7:00 a.m. on weekends, and close at midnight Sunday through Thursday and 3:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Each train displays the name of its farthest destination.

Internet CenterThe AHA will employ an electronic two-way messaging system to allow everyone registered for the meeting to communicate with each other. The system will be accessible via a link on the AHA annual meeting page (www.historians.org/annual). Meeting attendees are encouraged to use the Internet services provided in their hotel rooms and other public locations. Extensive information about the availability and price of Internet services, including free WiFi options, is posted on the web site (www.historians.org/annual). A limited number of Internet terminals will also be available during Job Center hours. The system will be the designated form of communication for those using the Job Center, and interviewers and interviewees can use it to schedule and confirm interviews. AHA staff answering the phones at the meeting will be able to post messages for attendees directly into the system.
Quiet Room Available at the Marriott Wardman ParkThe AHA will make a Quiet Room available in the Marriott’s McKinley Room. The room will have free wireless Internet access. Although the room is of particular use to those on the job market, it is also available for all conference attendees as a quiet place to await their next session or appointment, to send a text message, to check a web site, and the like. It’s a room to escape temporarily the hubbub of the annual meeting—this includes mobile phone conversations—to read prior to your next session or next appointment, to meet someone before heading out to lunch, to prepare a few notes for those comments you didn’t quite finish, to rest tired feet from walking among the hotels, or, for Washington, D.C.-area attendees with no hotel room, to sit for a few minutes of quiet time.
u To allow everyone to enjoy the Quiet Room, please avoid: cell-phone conversations—there are hallways and numerous other venues throughout the hotels and elsewhere for these conversations
u using the room as an informal or alternate site for job interviews
u extended conversation
Since the room will not be monitored continuously, there will be a simple room set with smaller-sized tables with chairs and trash baskets. Those who enjoy the room’s usage should not leave coats, briefcases, purses, or other personal possessions unattended or left in the room while they attend session(s) or interview(s). To deposit such items, the Marriott has a coat check on the lobby level.
AHA staff will check the room periodically, but the space will be self policing: please bus your own table if you dine, throw away any unwanted papers or other trash, straighten seating if you’ve move tables and chairs around, etc. For serious concerns or issues, report to the AHA headquarters office in the Marriott’s Convention Registration Desk. If there are problems or repeated distractions, the AHA reserves the right to close the room to further use.
New for 2014: Break Room Available to AttendeesBeginning with the 2014 annual meeting, the AHA provides a break room as quiet place to relax and recharge for a few moments. The AHA has set aside the Marriott’s Room 8229 (lobby level, Park Tower) to relax for a few minutes before moving on to the next session, interview or business meeting. It is a quiet place with no electronics and no WiFi, rather a place to sit, to catch your breath, or to rest an aching knee. Although the room’s accessories will be minimal—seating, water station, and restroom—it will be a quiet place off the beaten path to grab a few moments quiet. It is not a room to write that two-hour paper or to utilize as a lunch room or a meeting place. It is intended for momentary breaks for those who find the trip back to their guest room or the walk to the next event a bit too far.
