- Saturday 11 June at 10:00, Mockingbird Theatre, Custard Factory, Digbeth
This morning workshop offers an insight into cinema from other cultures. Together, we will explore some key terms and briefly discuss three important films that two Modern Languages researchers have recently shown to the Birmingham public: Sugar Cane Alley, Frantz Fanon: Black Skin White Mask, and Waiting for Happiness.
No prior knowledge of the films is necessary!
Come and think about what these films and cultural questions mean to you, and share these thoughts in an informal and friendly setting, guided by researchers who work in these fields.
The workshop will be relevant to anyone with interests in one or more of these topics: Film, Postcolonial cultures (particularly Africa and the Caribbean), French & Francophone cultures.
The event has been generously funded by an AHRC Cultural Engagement Fellowship award.
