WORLD CINEMA COURSE begins Thurs 17 Feb, 7:00-9:30pm
EarthDiverse is pleased to offer a new Film appreciation course entitled: WHAT’S SO FUNNY? HUMOUR IN WORLD CINEMA
A survey of, and discussion about, examples of contemporary World Cinema, framed around expressions of humour on film (satire, parody, the human condition). The intention is to explore different approaches to what makes audiences laugh or smile, and how film can speak to the local and familiar. The films, and subsequent discussions will explore the idea of a national sense of humour in film (What makes a Japanese audience laugh? What do Finnish filmgoers find funny?), but also how expressions of humour can cross geographical and cultural barriers. Given this theme, the emphasis will be on the lighter side of World Cinema but the films we see will also illuminate issues around politics, cultural values and identity.
New Course Offered: 2022 Term 1. Eight consecutive sessions per Term. First class meets Thursday beginning 17 February 2022, 7:00-9:30pm, and the last class meets on Thursday 7 April 2022.
Location: EarthDiverse, 401 Anglesea Street (first floor, side entrance on left), Hamilton Central, Hamilton

What do you think the speed limit should be around schools?
Switching to variable vehicle speed limits outside a dozen Hamilton schools is potentially “gambling with children’s lives”, says the city’s deputy mayor Angela O’Leary.
The schools currently have permanent 30kph limits but the Government has ordered a change as part of its push-back on speed limits lowered over the past few years.
