Succeeding the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and the resulting immigration of Jews, the Palestinians living within the newly set borders of Israel were reduced to a minority. While there are various fiction and documentary films produced on the general issue of the Israeli-Palestinian contention, the Palestinian minority and their ongoing struggles to coexist within a hegemonic host state are often neglected.

Nur is a younger, religious Muslim girl who moves into the apartment in order to study at the university. Nur is both intrigued and intimidated by her two sophisticated roommates.

She refuses, and his violent rebuttal leaves all of the women shaken.

  • Yashwantrao Chavan
    Yashwantrao Chavan MESSAGE Shri Yashwantrao Chavan, born on 12th March 1913 in a small village called Devrashtra in the then Satara district, hailed from a rural family with modest means. His father was a bailiff who succumbed to the epidemic of plague when Yashwantrao was only four years old. He was brought up by his mother under difficult circumstances. He grew up in a family where social and political reforms were a subject of daily debate and discourse. He spent about 15 months in jail but the period of incarceration turned out to be a blessing in disguise. There were many eminent scholars who were also in the same jail and they conducted virtual classes and turned the jail into a university. It was in the jail that he first absorbed knowledge of political ideologies and classical literature. When India's independence was on the horizon, he won the election to the Legislative Assembly in 1946 and began his political career as Parliamentary Secretary to the Home Minister, Shri Morarji Desai. Soon he got involved in the vortex of movement for the Samyukta Maharashtra. Eventually, he became the Chief Minister of bilingual State of Bombay in 1956. He made a name for himself with his capacity for work, candid dialogue with opposition and administrative acumen. The State of Maharashtra was formed on 1st May 1960 and Yashwantrao became the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra. In November 1962, he became the Defence Minister in the aftermath of the India-China conflict. He worked hard to restore the morale of the armed forces and to enhance his strength through modern weapons, better equipment, organizational changes and a harmonious relationship with the armed forces.

    Department of Film Studies School of Languages, Linguistics and Film Queen Mary, University of London FLM6205 Contemporary French Cinema Autumn 2019 Pre-requisite: none (overlap with FLM507) Assessment: One 250-word assignment (5%); one 500-word assignment (20%); one 3500-word assignment (75%) Credit Value: 15 credits Level: 6 Semester: 1 Organiser: Hannah Paveck Contact details: [email protected] All students must ensure that they know where to locate the SLLF Undergraduate Student Handbook on QM+, and should follow the School’s guidelines and regulations in all matters regarding this module. Students must note that failure to do so may result in de-registration from the module, which may have a significant impact on their overall degree classification. DESCRIPTION Through a detailed examination of a number of recent French films, this module aims to foster an understanding of the contemporary French film ecosystem since 2000 and the network of forces that have shaped it. It traces the relationship between major trends in contemporary French film, and social, political and cultural shifts in late 20th and 21st century French life. We will critically consider how films represent difference and interrogate issues of “Frenchness” and identity; histories and contemporary relations of colonialism; and immigration, race, and multicultural France. The module will be assessed through the production of a 3,500-word research essay in which students will select a single film from post-2000, and across three written assignments they will progressively develop material about the film that situates it within its historical, cultural, and aesthetic context. The module is research-based and requires a significant commitment to independent study.
