The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund supports activity to re-engage audiences with collective, big screen film experiences at film festivals, mixed arts venues, and both community and traditional cinemas around the UK. This particular strand of support has been made available via BFI‘s National Lottery funding to the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN). BFI FAN is a unique collaboration of eight Film Hubs managed by leading film organisations across the UK, who each distribute the funding in their region or nation. The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund will enable FAN Members to deliver a broad range of programming once they restart, ensuring excellent British and international independent cinema is available to audiences all over the UK. Other priorities of the fund are incentivising exhibitors to embed inclusion and environmental sustainability into their approach to reopening, post closure during the pandemic restrictions. The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund was also supported by a donation from global streaming platform MUBI.

    A Feminist View on the Oslo Process the Case of the Palestinian

    A Feminist View on the Oslo Process The Case of the Palestinian Women’s Movement Yuki Nakao A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Master of Public Policy Graduate School of Public Policy The University of Tokyo Supervised by Professor Kiichi Fujiwara December, 2019 Abstract This thesis offers a feminist alternative to the gender-blind mainstream analyses of the Palestine-Israel peace process and the 1993 Oslo Agreement, through a process- tracing case study of the Palestinian women’s movement. Drawing upon feminist international relations theories and social movement theories, this study qualitatively analyzes the political environment within which the Palestinian women’s movement has operated. Specifically, it explores and documents what has changed in the pre-Oslo to post-Oslo political environment and what role the Oslo Agreement played in causing this shift. I argue that the emphasis on the state and security in the Oslo process has impeded genuine efforts to promote a democratic system that safeguards human rights and citizenship rights. Major political players – the Palestinian Authority, international donors, and the Israeli government – contributed in different ways in fomenting a hostile environment for women as a result of the security-centric policies being prioritized at every turn. The transformation of the Palestinian women’s movement, from a vibrant force of resistance and democratization during the pre-Oslo period to its fragmentation and inefficacy during the post-Oslo period, reveals how the Palestinian state-making process and once-celebrated peace deal was in fact hostile towards Palestinian women, and detrimental to the advancement of their rights and freedom.
