More on Films

Following up on my earlier post, "Nominate Your Favorite Films," several cinematic-related resources are now available:

The latest issue (vol. 30, no. 1, 2010) of the Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East journal includes "Displacement and Memory: Visual Narratives of al-Shatat in Michel Khleifi's Films" as part of a special section on "Arab Diaspora: Arts in Displacement."

A book launch of Screening Strangers: Migration and Diaspora in Contemporary European Cinema (Indiana University Press, Feb. 2010) will take place 28 May 2010 at the University of London's Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies. The book includes analysis of "Bernardo Bertolucci’s Besieged, Stephen Frears’s Dirty Pretty Things, Mathieu Kassovitz’s La Haine, and Michael Winterbottom’s In This World, Code 46, and The Road to Guantanamo."

The second Cairo Refugee Film Festival will take place 17-19 June 2010. For updates on films that will be screened, check in with the film festival's blog.

And if you can be in two places at once, the Refuge in Film Festival is scheduled for 18-20 June 2010 in London. Check out the list of films to be shown this year, as well as trailers for films from years past.

Perhaps these will provide inspiration for more of your film nominations!
