Forms support of OZCF and above all, our amazing volunteers who ensure OZCF keeps thriving. Our donors responded emphatically to our calls and helped us reach our 40 in 4 goal. I am happy to say that through all our events and programs of 2020, we have been able to end OUR AFFILIATES the year without having to dip into our reserves, which looked very likely a few months back. The New Year fills us with hope and pride as we march towards achieving our dream of Member of: constructing an Atashkadeh, our very own consecrated Place of Worship. Stay tuned for updates from the Place of Worship Advisory Committee in the New Year.

Xerxes Madan President Page 01 VISION Page 02 VISION TAX RECEIPTS Tax receipts for members who contributed towards the Place of Worship will be mailed out in early January. Tax receipts for members who contributed towards the General Fund will be mailed out in early February. TAX RECEIPTS AND AGM PACKAGE—WE’RE GOING GREEN Beginning in 2022, we will email the tax receipts for taxation year 2021. We will also email the 2022 AGM package as well as place its contents on our website to members in good standing. These measures will permit OZCF to save on printing costs. By going green, we are doing our part in re- ducing paper and lessening its impact on the environment. MEMBERSHIP Membership fees make up a significant part of OZCF’s revenues and help pay for 36% of our op- erating expenses which are currently $97,000 per year. We request members to pay their fees by April 30, 2021 to remain in good standing. Only members in good standing effective May 1st, 2021 will receive emails, publications, communi- qués pursuant to OZCF By Law 4.4. a. 4.4 Membership Privileges Only members in good standing SHALL BE ENTITLED TO: b. Receive publications, communiqués and due notices as prescribed by the Board of Directors from time to time (one per household); c. Attend General Membership Meetings. Take part in all community functions and meetings and pay at the prescribed members’ rate for ad- mission (if any) and non-members will pay at their prescribed rate. After May 1st, as soon as we receive confirmation of membership renewal, all membership privileg- es will be restored effective immediately. In a bid to accommodate newcomers settling in, the Board has decided to offer free membership for their first year if they arrive prior to September 30th of that year. If they arrive after this date, they will be eligible for free membership for the remaining months as well as the following year. For example, say Khorshedbai and Pestonji arrive on July 10th in 2021 and wish to become mem- bers. They will have free membership for the remainder of the year and will need to start paying their fees as of 2022. Having heard about the wonderful community that is OZCF, Allamai and Aflatoon wish to become members upon arriving on October 17th in 2021. They will receive free membership for the remain- der of the year as well as in 2022 and will need to start paying their fees as of 2023.

The WZO (World Zoroastri- an Organization Trust) has sent out appeal to all the North American Associations to donate towards the treatments of this young Ervad. The complete details are in the document attached with this e-mail. Due to CRA requirements THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CHARITABLE DONATION RECEIPTS. Please send your cheques payable to” Meher Panthaky” – in ref. “Donation for Zahan Turel” and mail to: Meher Panthaky, 5508 Spangler Drive, Mississauga, ON, Canada, L5R 3A2 who will keep track of the money and will send final Draft to WZO Trust Fund with complete accounting to all the donors. You can also e-transfer funds to: [email protected] If any questions please contact Meher Panthaky at her email or at 905-568-4946. Please DONATE GENER- OUSLY. The Family really needs everyone’s help. Those who are in the lockdown and cannot go out to mail please let Meher know and couple of our volunteers will pick up the cheque from your home. Thank you. Meher Panthaky Click here to read the PDF version of the appeal from World Zoroastrian organization. This is an appeal for a kidney donation for Mr. Ardesheer Kavasji of Toronto. Mr. Kavasji is in dire need of a kidney as his kidneys are failing. His blood type is O Positive. But according to St. Michael Hospital the Blood Group of the donor is not important as they offer blood type (ABO) incom- patible transplant with Glycosorb® technology. Patients can receive a kidney from their living kidney donor even if the blood type is incompatible, with success rates comparable to other living donation transplants. Glycosorb® immunoadsorption is a unique technology that circumvents complications associated with apher- esis that is used in older ABOi techniques. St. Michael’s offers minimally invasive (laparoscopic) nephrectomy. Laparoscopic surgery allows for shorter hospital stay, less pain and a quicker return to employment for living donors. Any healthy individual who would like to be a living donor kindly contact: [email protected] or at 647-200-1861.

  • Monstrous Aunties: the Rabelaisian Older Asian Woman in British Cinema and Television Comedy
    Monstrous Aunties: The Rabelaisian older Asian woman in British cinema and television comedy Estella Tincknell, University of the West of England Introduction Representations of older women of South Asian heritage in British cinema and television are limited in number and frequently confined to non-prestigious genres such as soap opera. Too often, such depictions do little more than reiterate familiar stereotypes of the subordinate ‘Asian wife’ or stage the discursive tensions around female submission and male tyranny supposedly characteristic of subcontinent identities. Such marginalisation is compounded in the relative neglect of screen representations of Asian identities generally, and of female and older Asian experiences specifically, within the fields of Film and Media analysis. These representations have only recently begun to be explored in more nuanced ways that acknowledge the complexity of colonial and post-colonial discoursesi. The decoupling of the relationship between Asian and Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage, together with the foregrounding of religious rather than national-colonial identities, has further rendered the topic more complex. Yet there is an exception to this tendency. In the 1990s, British comedy films and TV shows began to carve out a space in which transgressive representations of aging Asian women appeared. From the subversively mischievous Pushpa (Zohra Segal) in Gurinder Chadha’s debut feature, Bhaji on the Beach (1993), to the bickering ‘competitive mothers’ of the ground-breaking sketch show, Goodness, Gracious Me (BBC 1998 – 2001, 2015), together 1 with the sexually-fixated grandmother, Ummi (Meera Syal), in The Kumars at Number 42 (BBC, 2001-6; Sky, 2014), a range of comic older female figures have overturned conventional discourses.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Against a backdrop of growing interest in performance geographies and performative notions of embodiment and social identity, this thesis critically examines the geographies of ‘community theatre’ (or ‘theatre in the community’). Drawing on in-depth qualitative research, the study is concerned to analyse the forms of ‘community’ presumed in and produced through the performances of community theatre companies in London. It focuses in particular on detailed case studies of three companies - London Bubble, Outside Edge and Tamasha - which were chosen to examine how different engagements with the notion of ‘community’ are made through performance and practice. This thesis demonstrates how practices of community theatre have been positioned marginally to that of mainstream and established theatre. Through the empirical analysis, it examines both the opportunities and contradictions that an engagement with the discourse and practice of ‘community’ brings for community theatre companies.

  • The-Maltese-Fiancee-Paradigm-Pitch
    1 THE MALTESE FIANCEE Format: An interactive film with 3 main narratives. Genre: Culture clash romantic-comedy. Budget: £1,000,000 Filming: 2k digital 1:85 aspect ratio Principal Photography: 6 weeks – January/February 2022 Language: English Location(s): Malta Length: Total of 240 minutes. One playthrough about 70 minutes. Writer-Director: Paul Raschid Producer: Neville Raschid Log-line: A British-Indian man takes his fiancée to meet his traditional-but-eccentric parents on a family holiday to Malta. Elevator Pitch: ‘Meet the Parents’ crossed with ‘Crazy Rich Asians’. Narrative Outline Arjun, a millennial British Asian male, meets 3 women from different social & ethnic backgrounds: Yewande (Black British), Nafisa (British Asian Muslim) and Matilde (White European). Depending on the viewer’s choices, one of these encounters develops into a long-term relationship. The romance blossoms to the point that Arjun must introduce his fiancée to his traditional Indian Hindu family who live an eccentric life on the island of Malta. The narrative can unfold in 3 distinct directions, depending on which woman Arjun takes to meet his family as each member responds differently to Yewande, Nafisa or Matilde. Within each narrative, Arjun must make decisions to navigate an increasingly mad-cap visit to Malta. Most crucially, these choices will also define his relationship with his family and fiancée, even when one must come at the expense of the other. All 3 narratives will explore familial preconceptions and the sociological/racial/religious prejudices that are notorious amongst South Asian families where romantic matchmaking is concerned. 2 WISH-LIST CAST CHARACTER ACTOR NOTABLE CREDITS Four Weddings And A Funeral (Amazon), Artemis Fowl (Disney) Arjun Nikesh Patel Industry (HBO), Cobra (Sky) Matilde Marisa Abela Doctor Who (BBC) Nafisa Mandip Gill Gangs Of London (Sky) Pippa Yewande Bennett- Warner Goodness Gracious Me (BBC), The Kumars Arjun’s Mother Meera Syal At No.

  • 1 Re-Claiming the Punchline: British Asian Television Comedy by Marie Gillespie Comedy and Ethnicity Since the Time of Aristotle
    Re -claiming the punchline: British Asian television comedy by Marie Gillespie Comedy and Ethnicity Since the time of Aristotle theories of comedy have differed on many points. Freud (1960), like Aristotle (1992), saw laughter as the release of tensions crucial to preserving our sanity in the face of life's absurdities, contradictions and deeper irrationalities. For Freud jokes had one of two purposes: either to destroy (as in sarcasm and satire) or to expose (as in obscenity, bawdry and ribaldry). For Be rgson (1956) the inversion of roles is crucial as when the villain becomes a victim of his own villainy. This results in ironic social commentary which is at the heart of farce in particular. Farce was the tour de force of the Marx Brothers whose early fil ms, like Animal Crackers entailed an aggressive comic assault on WASP (White Anglo -Saxon Protestant) society and its exclusionary practices (Musser, 1991). The narratives of their films revolve around the intrusion of outsiders (Jews) into WASP social terr itory where they were not welcome. Their only means of entry to the society was through mimicry, disguise and role -play. Bakhtin (1994) analysed comedy in terms of its carnivalesque and anarchic subversion of established social hierarchies. He was interes ted in the role of comedy for its potential to deliver a pleasurable transcendence of everyday realities which, if only momentarily, permits fantasies of liberation and dreams of an alternative social order. But just as comedy can liberate us from the oppr ession of societal restrictions, it can also just as easily affirm societal norms.
