Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the launch of the website 'Far-flung
Families in Film: The Diasporic Family in Cinema', which is part of
an AHRC-funded project on this topic.
<http://www.farflungfamilies.net/>http://www.farflungfamilies.net/
The website provides information about the scope, aims and
objectives of this project and a small but growing database of films
about the diasporic family in contemporary cinema, a blog and
details about forthcoming events. Further features such as podcasts
and additional interactive functions will be added in due course.
Please share your thoughts about some of the films and the blogs via
the comment function on the website. I'd also be most grateful if
you could forward this email to anyone else who might be interested
in the topic.
Best wishes,
Daniela Berghahn
