OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Film Screening and Q&A: 'Somewhere Else Entirely'
Join trailblazing feminist magazine Bluestocking Oxford, an online journal investigating the intellectual and creative contributions of women throughout history, for a film salon with poet Ruth Fainlight and filmmaker Emily Andersen.
The screening will be followed by an exclusive discussion with Emily Andersen and Ruth Fainlight, hosted by Bluestocking Editor-in-Chief Olivia Hurton. After the talk, we invite you to join the speakers and the Bluestocking team at the drinks reception.
Andersen’s film is a vivid portrait of Fainlight, now aged 94, delicately drawing out different fragments of the poet’s life. Andersen captures her at home in London, making notes, on her walks, and in the seaside town of Brighton. This is a true cinematic treat – bringing together poetry and beautifully shot visuals, Somewhere Else Entirely explores themes of memory, time, loss and friendship.
