Through regular film nights, they explore anthropology in popular cinema and ethnographic films.In a previous decolonizing the curriculum film night, they deliberated on Britain’s imperial (later referred to as commonwealth) troops in World War Two by screening three short films produced by various British information and propaganda departments during, and shortly following, the war. Discussion afterwards focused on the implications of such videos for historical and contemporary narratives surrounding the war and the commonwealth, on how we teach these narratives, and on the media we use to do so.Expect a thought-provoking screening and lively discussion!
