The Cinema and Politics Series is an informal event that seeks to explore key political themes and topics through the medium of cinema. The film series is open to all and will attempt to address a broad range of specialisms and sub-disciplines. Films will be shown on a weekly basis every Tuesday evening during termtime, from 5 - 7pm, R1.04. For each theme and issue addressed in the series, two films will be shown. Each film will be accompanied byt a brief introduction from an expert on the issues raised by the film in question. The films will be followed by an informal discussion.
