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
Arab-Jewish Film Screening - 'To Take a Wife'
Popcorn provided! Please show your bod card upon entrance.
Haifa, 1979. After repeated disputes, the extended Ohayon family tries to mediate between Viviane (Ronit Elkabetz) and Eliahou (Simon Abkarian) – two people with nothing in common except for their religious-cultural background and their four children. Over the course of several days, the couple quarrels over tradition, love, fears, and progress.
Siblings, Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz’s debut film which kicks off the trilogy that also includes Seven Days (2008) and Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem (2014), introduces viewers to an Arab-Jewish Israeli family in the late 1970s. This moving drama won two awards at the Venice Film Festival and the Best Actress award at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
