Talking Politics through film

Thursday, February 20, 2014 - 00:00

Dr. John O'Brennan invites students of Politics/PPE to engage in a new extra-curricular initiative which explores contemporary issues in politics through the prism of Film.
Five films will be shown this semester with a facilitated discussion afterwards.
The films will be shown from 3 to 5pm on Wednesdays at B11 (Manor Mills rooms).
The dates and films are as follows:

 19 Feb                   The Act of Killing (2013, Joshua Oppenheimer)
 26 March             The Wave (2008, Dennis Gansel)
 2 April                   Together (2000, Lucas Moodysson)
 9 April                   In a Better World (2012, Susanne Bier)
 16 April                 Even the Rain (2010, Iciar Bollain)
 
The aim is both to enjoy the films and to situate them within a global political and social context.
All are welcome to participate.
