Identity and the meeting of cultures in Gregor Nicholas's 'Broken English'
Date: 7 December 2009
Time: 18.00-20.00
Venue: Helmore 114, Anglia Ruskin University
The film 'Broken English' is the story of Croatian immigrants to New Zealand in the 1990s, during the Yugoslav civil war. The film explores the topics of immigrant communities, identity, cross-cultural relationships and intolerance. It also has a very strong sense of place. The introduction will outline these topics, followed by a showing of the film and then a discussion focussing on the role of identity in contacts between cultural groups, particularly in an immigrant setting. Parallels will be drawn with other immigrant groups in New Zealand and elsewhere.
A guest lecture by Professor Christopher Hall, Joensuu University, Finland, organised by Guido Rings of RUITS.
