Centennial of Suffrage

In 1920, almost 150 years after the United States declared that “all men are created equal,” American women got the right to vote… 27 years after women in New Zealand did. American suffragists worked for almost 80 years to obtain that right. And there’s still work to do today.

Artemis Fowl: Teen Bond Villain

Originally, "Artemis Fowl" was the first of eight fantasy novels by Irish author Eoin Colfer. It was adapted for the cinema by Kenneth Branagh and finally released on Disney+ after being delayed by lockdown. It features first-time actors as well as experienced and even very experienced actors like Judi Dench who plays the part of the leader of the fairy police. We think the story is motivating for A2 pupils and a good starting point for interaction. Pupils will discover the trailer, a clip and an article.

My Name is Artemis, Artemis Fowl

Irish author Eoin Colfer imagined Artemis Fowl as a 12-year-old James Bond villain in a battle with the fairy underworld. The eight books starring the teen criminal mastermind have millions of fans, and there is now a film version directed by Kenneth Branagh. The film release was delayed by lockdown and was finally released directly to streaming on Disney+. The books, and film, combine Irish mythology and a high-tech thriller. The film version tinkers with the original first book but the premise is that a thousand years ago, humans and fairy folk had a catastrophic war. As a result, the supernatural people have retreated underground to the Lower Elements. There, they have developed very advanced, magical, technology. In the film, Artemis's father (Colin Farrell) has been abducted by the fairies, and Artemis discovers that he has secretly worked for the Lower Elements for years. In order to save him, Artemis decides to take a fairy hostage, in the shape of elf Holly Short. Short belongs to a fairy police taskforce called LEPrecon and her fellow officers, led by Judi Dench, are not going to let that affront go unchallenged. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXlBep9uFjI You can find out more about the books on Eoin Colfer's site. Don't miss! Our A2-level Ready-to-Use Resource to accompany the film.

Irresistible: U.S. Politics on Film

As the race to the White House is about to resume after the pandemic , Jon Stewart’s latest movie — released on 1 July in France — takes you behind the scenes to help you decipher a political campaign. Setting the movie in Wisconsin, and using (wry) humour, Stewart wants people to realise politics is sometimes more a matter of money and media than a matter of ideas. Rivalry, strategy and stereotypes are exposed.

A couple of Parisian exhibitions with Anglophone cultural connections that could interest you are English aesthete and illustrator of Oscar Wilde's works, Aubrey Beardsley, at the Musée d'Orsay and American surrealist photographer Man Ray at the Musée du Luxembourg.

The "Irresistible" Election Machine

Jon Stewart honed the art of satire on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. Now he’s left the presenting to Trevor Noah, he has turned his satire on the U.S. political system and its finances in a new film, Irresistible. It stars Steve Carrell as a political strategist for the Democratic Party who persuades an ex-Marine to run for mayor of a small Wisconsin town. It soon turns into a Washington caravan, with opposing strategists stopping at nothing for victory.

Musical Migrations

Paris-London Musical Migrations fits perfectly with the themes of Shine Bright 1e File 7 Caribbean Vibes and Shine Bright LLCE File 8 From Isle to Isle.
