Modern Languages: “French Culture in Film” – A Taste of Modern Languages With Dr Marieke Mueller From Aberystwyth University
22nd March 2021 @ 14:15 - 15:00
We are delighted to present the Taste Of series from Aberystwyth University which showcases different subject disciplines. Students will be engaged in a lively interactive discussion that provides enrichment of their current studies whilst bringing to life the wealth of academic possibilities available at university.
In French Culture in Film, Dr Marieke Mueller, Lecturer in French in the Department of Modern Languages, discusses Céline Sciamma’s film Bande de fille/Girlhood (2014).
We will focus on questions of gender, diversity in the film industry, and the changing representation of the banlieue.
Students interested in languages degrees will get an idea of the way in which film can give us an insight into a country’s history and culture.
The session will resonate with film and contemporary culture elements of the French/languages curriculum.
