Adam O’Meara, Dean Lockwood and Rob Coley have just had a piece published in the online journal Rhizome in the special issue on Deleuze and Photography.

The submission from our colleagues was an audio recording, essay and video as a result of the ‘Student as Producer’ initiative from last year. Fantastic work! Well done to the three of them and their students.

Angie (Kierston Wareing) sets up a recruitment agency with her flat-mate Rose, working in a twilight zone between gangmasters, employment agencies and the migrant workers they place. This is a tale set against the reality of the Anglo Saxon miracle of flexible labour, globalisation, double shifts and lots of happy, happy, happy consumers.

Our short season of important films from around the world that have in various ways provided a response to the burning social issues of their time and place continues this coming weekend. Presented by Professor Brian Winston and Dr Sarah Barrow of Lincoln School of Media (University of Lincoln).
