SUMMARY:Atlantics Virtual Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series zoom discussion illuminating the theme “Living on the Edge: Displacement\, Identity\, and Resilience” by analyzing the message and impact of the 2019 film\, Atlantics. \nAtlantics (French: Atlantique) is a internationally co-produced supernatural romantic drama film directed by Mati Diop\, in her feature directorial debut. It was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Diop made history when the film premiered at Cannes\, becoming the first Black woman to direct a film featured in competition at the festival. \nThe film is centered around a young woman\, Ada\, and her partner\, Souleiman\, struggling in the face of employment\, class\, migration\, crime\, family struggles\, and ghosts. Working mostly with unknown actors\, Diop focused in the film on issues such as the refugee crisis\, remorse\, loss\, grief\, class struggle\, and taking responsibility (or not) of one’s actions. The Atlantic Ocean is used in many ways throughout the film\, including as a symbol and engine for change\, growth\, life\, and death. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by  Dr. Julius Adekunle\, Professor in the department of History and Anthropology and Dr. Lisa Vetere\, Associate Professor in the department of English. \nThe film is available for streaming on Netflix. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required.
