Professor David Wilkinson opened the Revive Film Festival 2021 on Friday 22 January.<\/p>\n
Presented to you by the Schools of Psychology<\/a>, Economics<\/a>, Politics and International Relations<\/a>, Anthropology and Conservation<\/a>\u00a0the Revive Film Festival<\/a> arose as an effort to combat isolation and reach out to each other in this third lockdown. Good movies have the power to open up a world beyond the constraints of the space we inhabit. They open our mind to different perspectives and bring us together even if we are apart.<\/p>\n The Humanities and Social Science Division was formed in October 2020.\u00a0The virtual film festival was officially ‘opened’ by Professor David Wilkinson:<\/a> He spoke of his hope for “intellectual synergies” between the four schools.<\/p>\n “All four disciplines and all schools seek to understand how humans interact with one another, with the environment and with the systems and organisations that they have constructed.”<\/p>\n This informal event was the start of that synergy. The two movies \u201cHotel Rwanda\u201d one chosen by Dr Anirban Mitra<\/a> in the School of Economics and the other \u201cThe Martian\u201d chosen by Dr Devin\u00a0<\/a>Finaughty\u00a0in SAC,\u00a0<\/strong>cover a multitude of issues: Conflict, Development, Politics, Environment, Isolation, and are discussed through a multi-disciplinary prism by academics from all four schools in the division.<\/p>\n Watch the multidisciplinary discussion here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This week\u2019s films are The Truman Show chosen by Dr Lindsey Cameron<\/a> in the School of Psychology and A Beautiful Mind chosen by Dr Maria Garcia-Alonso<\/a> from the School of Economics.
