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.

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.

Protests against racism and the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have re-ignited demands in many places around the world to destroy or revise symbols of those who engaged in slavery, who were often honoured in their lifetimes and whose names and faces often remain in the public eye as statues, buildings or institutions.

His Life Mattered

Widespread protests have again broken out in the U.S.A. after the death of an African-American man in police custody. George Floyd, 46, was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 25 May on suspicion of passing forged money. During his arrest, a police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, despite Mr Floyd protesting that he couldn’t breathe. Videos of the incident sparked protests across the country. The officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder and three other officers dismissed. “I Can’t Breathe” Floyd’s plea that he was being asphyxiated was a grim echo to another case: in 2014, in Staten Island, New York, Eric Garner asphyxiated in a police stranglehold after protesting eleven times that he couldn’t breathe. It was one of the cases that fuelled Black Lives Matter protests across the country. The officer responsible was never charged, but he was ultimately dismissed from the NYPD in 2019 over the case. Protesters about the George Floyd killing have been using the slogan and hashtag “I can’t breathe” in demonstrations. There is an excellent comic report in TOPO magazine on the subject which could be very interesting for your pupils. This is in French, but online with a free access and one more way to understand what is happening these days in the U.S. https://twitter.com/LaRevueDessinee/status/1267768980271509504?s=20 Black Lives Matter and other organisations support the protests, seeing this death as yet another example of the inherent racism in the American police and justice system. African Americans are disproportionately likely to be fatally shot by the police: 23.4% of incidents when they only make up 13.4% of the population according to the U.S. Census Bureau. There is a more general problem with police violence. According to the Mapping Police Violence database, “99% of killings by police from 2013-2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime”. The video below urges people to remember George Floyd and other victims of police violence with the slogans #SayHisName and #SayTheirNames. https://vimeo.com/423875851 More Than Statistics The current protests have spread across the country against a context of economic tension during the Covid-19 epidemic, which has hit poorer Americans much harder than their more comfortable counterparts. African Americans are statistically much more likely to live in poverty. The combination of low-paid work in front-line jobs which, and ineffective or inexistent health insurance and healthcare have meant poor Americans are more likely to be infected. Minnesota has one of the largest poverty gaps between black and white residents of any state in the country: 32% versus 7% While African American residents make up 7% of the state population, they account for 22% of Covid patients.

Ding Dong!

Have you ever wondered why the sound of bells in English is rendered by "ding dong"? "Zig zag" or "Kit Kat" or "ping pong" are more examples of the same linguistic phenomenon, called "ablaut reduplication". This short video explains the phenomenon, which isn't only prevalent in English, it is also present in French, German and Japanese. In the video , from the BBC Reel series, lexicographer Susie Dent explains why it just isn't natural for English speakers to say "dally dilly", "flop flips", "chat chit" or "hop hip".
