The 2025 international conference on the f-word (24-26 September 2025) is now open for submissions It aims at exploring the manifold nature and uses of ‘fuck’—‘the most important and powerful word in the English language’ (Sheidlower 2009)—from the viewpoints of linguistics ‘fuck’ is itself polymorphous: while as an autonomous lexeme it may be a noun a verb or an interjection (Oxford English Dictionary 2024; Green’s Dictionary of Slang) syntactic and phonological traits with a variety of other linguistic objects (such as affixes or clitics) used in constructions equally challenging for analytical frameworks where the freedom imparted by expressivity (in the sense developed by Guillaume 1991) takes over conventional morphosyntax This slipperiness lends the ‘f-word’ a plasticity which in turn invites reflection along sociolinguistic and pragmatic lines: as a salient contributor to the triad of taboo topics (religion ‘fuck’ bears the status of a totemic item whose symbolism simultaneously borrows from and extends beyond its literal meaning into flexible instruments of identification Beyond its transgressive role in social interactions ‘fuck’ may then aptly serve as a pragmatic lens exposing how relational work is structured along the lines of various power dynamics: the committee encourages proposals exploring how these questions may indeed prolong or depart from the classical perspective of ‘facework’ (Goffman 1955) and politeness theory (Brown and Levinson 1987) in general The conference will also welcome studies of the concrete translation challenges that the f-word poses in relation to other languages: its nimbleness and close relationship with orality indeed often lead to compensation or even to partial or non-translations in localization Such choices when translating profanity combine or collide with many others which affect characterization and tone in the context of fiction for example This also serves as a reminder that translation practices remain medium-dependent as in the way the written form of subtitles trigger different reactions to on-screen profanity compared with dubbing for example (Rollo 2017) From the more global perspective of cultural transfer taboos and ‘bad language’ also testify to the socially and politically charged process that translation is prompting reflection on matters of positionality All those points of interest coalesce in the intense emotional and transgressive sometimes playful dimension that ‘fuck’ retains in artistic and cultural expression in the Anglosphere notably as part of a form of ‘them-and-us’ polarising rhetoric it is a weapon of choice for anti-establishment aesthetic practices—a ‘four-letter assault on authority’ (McEnery 2004) whether in music (punk and rap in particular) but also on social media where it naturally flourishes (Morris 2022) As a metonymy of obscenity and transgression the f-word could be seen as a barometer of how cultural scenarios of marginality revolt and censorship reformulate themselves throughout the ages and the arts and on which we invite discussion – whether it directs our attention to certain processes of self-marginalisation within reclaim practices for example or to a society’s own relation to a puritanism which may obscure certain social realities in return We welcome proposals drawing on a variety of methods and corpora to tackle the following Politeness: Some Universals in Language Usage Goffman, Erving. 1955. ‘On Face-Work’.

become of Australia’s best sparkling wine house and its longtime and pioneering cellarmaster Ed Carr – the person who proved that Tasmania could make world class sparkling wine House of Arras head winemaker Ed Carr: Arras is Australia's most decorated sparkling wine with over 370 gold trophies won in 30 years with the knock-on effects felt in Arras's domestic and international markets had been bought by the American private equity firm Carlyle Group in 2018 for one billion Australian dollars it was taken over by another private-equity-led consortium that is now about to buy Pernod Ricard’s wine brands – and the corporate churn continues merrily To make itself more attractive to potential buyers in the course of 2023 like premium Yarra Valley and McLaren Vale vineyards boutique wineries like Stonier in the Mornington Peninsula and even Accolade’s giant UK bottling facility in Bristol all to service and reduce its debts – and Arras was also part of that In October 2023, Arras was then bought by Handpicked Wines a premium brand portfolio owned by Sino-Australian businessman William Dong When Carr and his wife learned of the planned sale of Arras by Accolade he confesses they were only worried for about 30 seconds before thinking “Well “I don't want to be too negative,” says the ever softly-spoken Carr but the brand presence sort of faded just because the investment wasn't there People weren’t getting stock… but now there is a lot to and we can feel that the trade attitude has changed.” Carr is particularly relieved that Arras was bought lock stock and barrel: “We own all of the wine assets we own barrels and reserve wines and all tirage stock the vineyards and the winery [in Pipers River],” Carr reports adding that “all of the growers basically have come on board with re-signed supply contracts And now we're in the process of building Tasmania has just 2,084 hectares of vines and just over 40% of this fruit goes into sparkling wine production – not only for Arras but also for producers like Jansz “There's so much planting happening in Tasmania now and we we're trying to be part of that,” Carr says about his efforts to ensure more fruit supplies the current annual production volume of 250,000 bottles of traditional method will be slow and hard to scale Carr is on tour to show that Arras is back telling the world that Arras is there: “That's basically employing sales teams The focus is moving towards premium retail and on-premise and export markets,” Carr says about dedicated staff in both the UK and the US Then there is “re-starting with people in Japan and Hong Kong and that’s going to take a while.” “I've got no concerns about production-wise and maintaining standards William (Dong) has already said ‘no compromise.’” Carr notes about his new boss but he realises that's a long-term game the last year has been a lot of taking the wine to market again.” Tasmanian fruit is finite and fine fizz takes time “I think our volume will be restricted by availability of supply rather than anything else at the moment,” Carr says realistically should suit the premium positioning of Handpicked Wines which operates “urban cellar doors” in both Melbourne and Sydney “William’s idea is that we move forward at the top end of the range,” says Carr While William Dong is “keen to expand,” says Carr “It’s a minimum of four years and maybe even ten,” he says about the long lees ageing of the Arras wines “But there is the support and the drive to actually do it.” Carr says that there are no plans to extend fruit sourcing beyond Tasmania but emphasises again that any growth will be slow simply because sparkling wine requires more investment and ties up capital for longer the primary fermentation part and the secondary fermentation part I believe they will take multiple years to sort out.” For now a lot of spaces re-contracted and the arrangements work well “It's going to take us a long time to actually build a winery we've got to do all of that financial analysis.” Carr says that there will be a “commemorative wine” to celebrate 30 vintages at Arras He reveals that he is thinking more about “larger formats” and that there is a magnum range coming out which is still two years away but he is shy about “maybe another label or two but we're conscious that we don't want just label after label after label Sometimes revelations happen…,” he says about his modus operandi and adds: “We've got the flexibility to hold back lines then we'll put some aside and we can go back to that later this year will also be the 30th anniversary of Arras’ first release in 1995 and Carr says that there will be a “commemorative wine” that he is looking forward to what we've learned about Tasmanian wines is how well they age.” He adds about his library stocks that “we want to release them right and be planning much further in the future What are we going to do for the 35th and the 40th It is that sort of thinking I think which will come much more into play.” It is wonderful to know that this precious stock has been saved and safeguarded that Carr can continue his mission and that this outstanding brand has been rescued and given a new lease of life I have a feeling we will be seeing far more of Carr in the future The Buyer TVClick below to watch The Buyer's library of online debates, videos and webinars. vanished in Yosemite National Park while on a horseback trip with her father in 1981 and has remained missing for over four decades Stacey Anne Arras was just 14-years-old when she and her father began a four-day excursion on the High Sierra Loop at Tuolumne Meadows on July 17 She and George were part of a 10-person group and rode mules to the Sunrise High Sierra Camp and the plan was to spend a night at the camp’s cabins before continuing along the High Sierra Camp loop Stacey and her father were supposed to share a cabin that night at which point she decided to take a shower and change her clothes Stacey told her father that she wanted to walk down a trail with Gerald Stuard George told his daughter to wear more appropriate shoes so she put on hiking boots before leaving with Gerald for their 1.5-mile hike along the trail to Sunrise Lakes Gerald reportedly became tired at one point during the hike and took a seat to rest Stacey supposedly told him that she was heading toward the lake and would return in a few minutes a tour guide who’d led the group Sunrise High Sierra Camp had been nearby at the time and reportedly saw Stacey standing on a rock approximately 50 yards south of the trail The guide became the last person to see Stacey alive and the National Park Service immediately began investigating her disappearance involving hundreds of people and helicopters but aside from Stacey’s camera lens being found on the trail Sign up for Chip Chick’s newsletter and get stories like this delivered to your inbox. Stacey’s strange case has prompted numerous theories Bear attacks are extremely rare in Yosemite National Park and executing an abduction would be difficult the Sunrise Lakes are over four miles away from the road and close to visitor hot spots It’s possible that Stacey became lost in the dark and fell exactly what happened to her has remained a mystery for over 43 years She was last seen wearing

Alliance) "We are excited to kick off our 2025 exploration field program in Kazakhstan which promises to expand further on the strong advancements we made last year across the project portfolio We've enjoyed a much dryer spring across the steppe this year compared to last year and thus we are mobilizing geophysics and drill crews over the next week and expect to further add to these programs over the next 4 to 5 weeks" A Ground Magnetics geophysics program is scheduled to commence next week on the Berezski and Aimandai trends The program has been designed to assist with structural and target definition the Company plans to undertake a magnetotellurics (MT) and gravity survey across the Berezski Trend to better define potential deeper targets at the Berezski Central and Berezski North Targets Drilling is planned to commence in May and will initially begin in the Berezski Central and Berezski North Targets to better understand the controls and extent of the copper-gold mineralization discovered in these areas by the 2024 drilling program A number of drill-holes are also planned to test additional new high-priority exploration targets along the Berezski Trend the company is planning to commence an initial Vector IP geophysics program next week and this will cover approximately 65 sq km The objective of this program is to define targets for a follow-up Pole-Dipole program that may be undertaken to further refine targeting in advance of a full review and prioritizing of drill targets for later in the season A Ground Magnetics program is also planned

future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements When winemaker Ed Carr visited Tasmania in 1988 the island had fewer than 50 hectares of vineyards Although still one of Australia’s smaller wine regions with producers capitalising on its potential for cool climate varieties and traditional method sparkling wines and Carr has been one of its strongest advocates The first cuvées of Tasmanian sparkling wines emerged in the 1980s so Carr had already seen the island’s potential in 1988 during his work at BRL Hardy Ltd (later renamed Accolade Wines) he secured some Tasmanian grapes to work with House of Arras was founded with Carr as its winemaker House of Arras has become Australia’s most-awarded sparkling wine producer House of Arras achieved a Master medal among its first-ever entries to the Global Sparkling Masters the brand began a new chapter in its story House of Arras was acquired by Handpicked Wines a company focusing on boutique production from Australia’s premier vineyards and regions Carr spoke with db to explain how the acquisition is developing the business and what the future holds as House of Arras enters more markets opening up new business opportunities and allowing the company to pivot its strategy it is built on respect for each business and a shared recognition of the House of Arras’ core identity “It’s a family-owned company with William Dong as the owner The match has been built on an alignment of values between the partners the core team has remained in place to navigate any transition With Carr believing that it takes at least three years to understand the journey from vineyard to glass human capital is central to House of Arras’ success As Carr explains: “it is essential that they are fully immersed in the critical steps that ultimately build the wine style we are known and celebrated for.” Yet the acquisition balances mutual respect with challenge “but William made the comment before the purchase that he doesn’t want to compromise on anything in terms of quality but he understands that this is a long game.” That potential to increase volume benefits immensely from Carr’s intimate knowledge of Tasmania Already working with sites all over the island he can scope out those which will build volume without compromise He describes it as a process of “continually assessing existing vineyards and seeking potential new plantings that will support growth and the long-term vision of House of Arras.” Those vineyards will mostly be in the areas that are tried and tested for the basis of sparkling wine production further opportunities both to explore and to build resilience in the company’s plantings According to Carr: “We also plan to push the boundaries into cooler vineyard sites (to hedge against global warming) and other new areas where the impact of the terroir is yet to be proven.” the acquisition by Handpicked Wines allows House of Arras to target new consumers and new markets With the advantage of longer ageing – after all the team already knows how much wine is available to sell in four years’ time – there is scope for an expanded market presence International markets will be a particular focus as the brand’s profile continues to grow European countries (including France and Italy) and China as promising prospects for the House of Arras The company will also seek to build its premium presence This will be aided by an expanded programme of large format and museum releases As it prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025 there are already plans to sell a specially labelled back vintage many of Carr’s aspirations for the brand’s reach indicate broader ideas about the sparkling wine market His hope is quite simple: “I just want people to choose by the style and the quality.” Carr has slowly had to build Tasmania’s reputation “It’s been an issue in the past,” he comments if you’re paying above a certain price point he finds the ever-present comparisons to Champagne irksome part of his reasoning for entering wine shows and competitions an unhealthy fixation on who might be ‘best’ such awards can bring the wines to the attention of more consumers Carr’s approach is somewhere between quiet confidence and contented neutrality “What’s always been the aim with Arras wines,” he explains House of Arras secured five Gold medals and one Master medal at the Global Sparkling Masters 2023 made in a reductive style with Marmite-y notes from long lees contact with fine pastry dough subtleties and a tangy saline finish and would benefit from another five years’ ageing Blending all three classic Champagne grapes this outstanding traditional method fizz mimics the famous French sparkling wine region benefiting from the cool climate of the island and the skill of Arras winemaker Ed Carr While there are notes of juicy lemon and ripe pear as well as notes of fresh pastry and a touch of cream but not too firm – helped by the fine nature of the bubbles refreshing-but-ripe style of sparkling wine A surprising and fine sparkling wine from the House of Arras this 2008 vintage expression is late-disgorged and has the hallmarks of a fizz much younger than its 16-year-old state would have you expect That means there’s plenty of lemony freshness mixed with notes of bitter grapefruit and chalk dust along with lees-aged characters of hazelnut and baked bread this is a mouth-filling and refreshing find from Tasmania We are using cookies to give you the best

Cortland helps lead way in SUNY-wide local news initiative  SUNY Cortland’s Community News project has joined the first statewide program in the United States aiming to address news deserts and struggling local news outlets with college student-produced content.  SUNY Chancellor John B. King last week named Cortland as one of 12 SUNY campuses participating in the launch of the SUNY Institute for Local News (ILN) which provide students with educational opportunities to report on their communities and contribute to the local news landscape.  King announced the creation of up to 20 summer reporting internships which will pair student journalists with their hometown news outlets.    “It’s an opportunity for students to get potentially paid summer internships doing local news work,” said Paul Arras, assistant professor in SUNY Cortland’s Communication and Media Studies Department “There’s also potential for students to take an active role in this larger local news network as editors and help to organize the media platform that been building.”  The ILN, in partnership with the national Center for Community News supports academic and news partnerships that allow students to provide content to local media outlets to give them the experience they need to succeed as journalists “This is an opportunity to expand their civic awareness,” Arras said “To actually go and talk to people face-to-face that are not the usual people that they’re interacting with on a daily basis And I think that’s a deeper mission that a lot of different classes do in different ways at Cortland It’s an important mission of the university to teach broader civic awareness.”  New York state lost 40% of its operating newspapers and saw a 63% decrease in newspaper circulation with more than 95%  of all New Yorkers living within 30 miles of one of its 64 colleges and universities allows it to effectively reach audiences that have had other sources of news close.  Students in university-led student reporting programs provided more than 12,000 published local news stories to struggling media enterprises around the country last year according to the Center for Community News.  "We’re one of the best democracies in the world and strong local news has been joined at our democracy’s hip since the start,” said Todd Franko “That historic strength is gone due to the digital economy expansion in the last 20 years Universities have always been immense sources of community drive and service though students and faculty.”  Arras is teaching a class this semester where students are tasked with interviewing local citizens off campus about the election and other general issues Helping Cortland’s efforts is its campus radio station WSUC — currently managed by Professor Caroline Kaltefleiter of the Communication and Media Studies Department — which already has a long history of local coverage.  The station has made a series of broadcasts and podcasts in the lead up to Election Day on Nov 30 that brought a panel of student journalists together with Kaltefleiter to talk about the issues they found in their reporting that were most pressing to the 18-to-24-year-old demographic.  “It was really interesting to be a part of the special broadcast as it can be a bit hard and awkward to talk to fellow students about serious and sometimes uncomfortable topics especially during an election year,” said junior Mickey Corey “It was nice to have a space to have those conversations judgement-free and talk about some of the issues that are important to me and many others.”  WSUC will also follow up with a post-election broadcast with an in-studio audience at 3 p.m “We are seeing the media landscape transform at an accelerated rate,” said Kaltefleiter “Our work with the Center for Community News continues to engage students in discussions of issues affecting our local community and links those issues to statewide and nationwide discussion platforms.”  SUNY Cortland hosted the first Upstate New York faculty training meeting for the Center for Community news a nonprofit group based at the University of Vermont started by Cortland alum Richard Watts ’85 Watts is also serving as the interim coordinator for the ILN.  Both Arras and Kaltefleiter have been named as faculty champions in Watts’ program for going above and beyond in the support of local news Each award comes with an additional $1,000 to support their work.  Part of the funding for the ILN comes from the Lumina Foundation, a private group focused on higher education, which committed $150,000 to help the Institute’s efforts. That support is itself part of Press Forward a national movement with a goal to strengthen communities by reinvigorating local news.  SUNY has committed an additional $160,000 over the next two years toward up to 20 summer reporting internships which will pair student journalists with their hometown news outlets.  As part of that effort, Arras will bring Todd McAdam, managing editor at the local Cortland Standard newspaper to campus in the spring The paper is among the oldest family-owned news organizations in the country.   “There’s good potential for this sort of partnership and he’s interested in working closely with the students as they develop their writing and reporting,” Arras said “Even sitting down with them and giving them the full editorial process beyond what or in addition to what we’re doing in the classroom.”  The goal by the end of next semester is to get students to produce work published in the newspaper.  “We’re excited about the Cortland Standard’s collaboration with SUNY Cortland students,” said Evan Geibel “They’re members of this community and I look forward to bringing their perspectives to our readers.” We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your website experience and help us understand how you navigate our website.

in other words outnumbering the town’s entire population) we want people to discover films which are accessible to all exploring social issues and incredibly human subjects which drill down into families all in order to fuel meaningful exchanges between the audience and the filmmakers who come here to present their films So ours is an eclectic line-up: there’s something for everyone where the idea is to discover a different and over and above films from the rest of Europe to show what it is we do best in French film we’re lucky enough to have two great actresses as guests of honour: Cécile de France and Sandrine Kiberlain as well as the brilliant Serbian actor Miki Manojlovic and notwithstanding the Romanian wave which seems to have endured over time do filmmakers from Eastern Europe often struggle to make their mark over the long-term when it comes to international recognition How would you explain this?Everything has become very strained in terms of distribution even though it’s still a very open country compared to other European regions where films from Eastern Europe are hardly ever distributed anymore funding for these films can sometimes be complicated in their own countries where international co-productions are mandatory Some of these countries have also experienced budget cuts to their culture sectors sometimes accompanied by rising nationalism These socio-political-financial considerations are hinderances for emerging authors And their films can only enjoy a real presence with the help of festivals but we can’t control what happens after that But there are some really promising authors arriving on the scene 06/05/2025 Lionel Massol • Producer, Films Grand Huit“We want to produce films that tell the story of society, with a strong artistic bias” 02/05/2025 Annegret Richter • Artistic director, Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film“There’s no definition of which target group it has to be for;

Marriage-based mindsets are counterproductive to and generally inhibit the University’s purpose to educate students. A study found that being in a romantic relationship increases the odds of failing to attend three or more classes in one semester by more than 200 percent This is problematic because a student’s class attendance is arguably the most integral part of their education as it is where they are presented with new information and are able to ask questions.  Moreover, the presence of a long-term relationship in a student’s life brings with it the likelihood of an emotional breakup. And when students undergo a breakup their academics take a blow — breakups contribute to a 16% variance in academic performance The effects of relationships upon students are therefore potentially detrimental to one’s studies indicating that these relationships should be cautiously undertaken and not so visibly promoted.   In continually promoting marriage-mindedness, the University and student organizations actually endanger the long-term health of student relationships and undermine the educational mission of this institution. For those who do want to get married, research shows that marriages starting later in life appear to be more successful rather than making long-term relationships and marriage an immediate concern students should be reminded that they will have time after college to pursue long-term relationships and marriage if they wish to do so.  Rather than so strongly perpetuating this traditional the University community should seek to maintain values that align with the mission of the University itself — to educate students and help them succeed in their personal and academic endeavors Aoife

program across 1,736 square kilometers ("sq km") of licenses that form the Arras-Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") Strategic Alliance The Company is working with contractors to finalize contracts to initiate geophysical and drilling programs expected to commence in the second quarter Highlights for the 2025 Arras-Teck Strategic Alliance Program Multiple copper and copper-gold drill targets identified from extensive 2024 field program +5,000m follow up diamond drill program planned on multiple targets Targeted 75 line-km Pole-Dipole Induced Polarization ("P-DP IP") program planned Arras (via its subsidiary) to continue to operate the program on behalf of Teck in 2025 "The 2024 exploration program was a tremendous success leading to the identification of multiple high-quality drill targets Our team has been working hard to compile and interpret the vast amount of data collected with strong support from Teck to plan the follow up drill campaign on these targets in 2025 We're particularly excited with the range of targets that have been identified and we hope to replicate our recent success on our Elemes Project by making a new porphyry discovery in Kazakhstan" Arras's License Package showing Arras-Teck Strategic Alliance Areas as "Package A" and"Package B" as well as remaining Arras licenses (shown in blue) New High Priority Drill Targets Being Finalized: The Arras-Teck Strategic Alliance along with Arras's independent exploration efforts represented one of the most extensive greenfield copper-gold exploration programs in Kazakhstan in 2024 This work has further refined our understanding of the Bozshakol-Chingiz Magmatic Arc and led to the identification of high-priority drill targets which we plan to test with drilling expected to commence in April this year Summary of "Package A" Targets: Package A comprises seven exploration licenses spanning 1,397sq km It surrounds KAZ Minerals' Bozshakol copper-gold mine and covers the potential extension of the Bozshakol trend the area had undergone limited historic exploration The property hosts several promising targets with diverse mineralization styles Priority Exploration Targets in "Package A" for 2025 Program: Large chargeability anomaly with associated KGK Cu anomalies Coherent Cu anomaly associated with annular magnetic targets Package A Licenses and exploration targets Taga-Ketti Target: The Taga-Ketti target is approximately 20 km to the east-northeast from the Bozshakol Mine and may be on the same structural trend Wide spaced KGK drilling identified several diorite intrusions with anomalous geochemistry The geophysical data show a high chargeability halo with a resistivity low at center over the target suggesting potential porphyry-style mineralization The upcoming exploration program at Taga-Ketti target is planned to commence with a follow-up Induced Polarization ("IP") survey to further define drill targets for testing in Q3 2025 Shirderty Target: The Shirderty target is located on a large structural trend that runs parallel to the Bozshakol Mine trend Wide-spaced (500m spacing) KGK drilling defined a large (2 km by 2 km) coincident geochemical anomaly associated with discrete annular magnetic targets and electromagnetic anomalies suggest the potential for porphyry-style mineralization at this target exploration will commence with an IP program to refine exploration targets Pinta Target: The Pinta target is defined by a large copper soil anomaly coincident with large high amplitude EM anomalies but minor moderately altered intrusions have been mapped in the area An IP program is planned to define drill targets Tort-Kuduk Target: The Tort-Kuduk Target is a porphyry Target defined by a coincident copper-molybdenum geochemical anomaly Field mapping identified outcropping Quartz-feldspar porphyry with veining The EM survey defined a strong conductivity anomaly stretching south from coinciding Mo-Cu Soil anomaly The company is planning an IP program to better define drill targets for follow-up drilling Summary of "Package B" Targets: consists of three exploration licenses covering 629.8 sq km located approximately 90 km southeast of Ekibastuz The geological setting is dominated by Devonian and Silurian-aged porphyritic andesites and basalts which have been emplaced into tuffaceous sediments and conglomerates Several diorite and granodiorite intrusions cut through these units and the district is structurally controlled by a series of large northwest-southeast striking regional faults The area hosts multiple mineralization styles and Au-rich Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposits Priority Exploration Target in "Package B" for 2025 Program: Besshoky Target: The Besshoky target is a poorly explored >20 sq km lithocap with coincident Cu-Mo-Se-Bi-As soil and IP chargeability anomalies Surface mapping has identified a series of porphyritic andesites with tuffaceous conglomerates that have been intruded by a series of granites The lithocap consists of strongly altered breccias with wide-spread secondary quartzites The lithocap is interpreted to represent the high part of a porphyry-epithermal system The company is planning to drill the Besshoky lithocap to gauge its potential to host porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization and high-sulfidation epithermal Au mineralization "The Arras-Teck Strategic Alliance made significant advances in 2024 and the systematic approach by the team has now generated a number of high-priority targets for follow-up and drill-testing this year This 2025 program presents multiple opportunities to advance promising targets on our license package in a region with proven successful operating mines but limited modern exploration over the past three decades With multiple

Ultimately Meral slowly realises that if her appeal isn’t on the system it’s because the system clearly wants nothing to do with her With each new step in the administrative process from the attachment of earnings order which forces her to leave her job as a home help for elderly people and to become a cleaner in industrial buildings ("HR think it’s dangerous to put the fox in charge of the henhouse: you’re going into vulnerable people’s homes” – “Do you know how humiliating this is?” – “I can’t do anything about it I’ve got orders from above") to intrusive investigations by social services (tails social media surveillance) on suspicion of undeclared income (which people indebted to the tax system are obliged to report); from blocking her demands for urgent aid to the school and child protection services worrying about the wellbeing of Meral’s two daughters the noose gradually tightens around the neck of this young woman who is drowning in a deep sense of injustice masked by a desire to save face despite extreme financial precariousness (electricity cuts second-hand clothes and no clubs for the children or will a miraculous window open up before her Shot with steely meticulousness and subtly playing with the out-of-frame space the film primarily follows its resilient protagonist as she slowly succumbs to despair But there’s also a social services inspector (Gijs Naber) who acts as a counterpart and who’s having doubts over his assignment but who’s answerable to a totalitarian hierarchy ("fraud is one of the biggest dangers for our society and once again this edifying tale about the administrative machine (whose screenplay was penned by the director and Roelof Jan Minneboo) is undeniably chilling and our empathy for the main character boundless Some viewers might find the approach too Manichean it took 12 years for these cases to be cleared up in the Netherlands which resulted in the demise of a government given that close to 120,000 parents and children had been affected by this scandal The Hunt for Meral O. was produced by KeplerFilm in co-production with Evangelische Omroep (EO) “I realised that as a society, we hadn’t understood what had happened at all: the devastation of lives” The Dutch filmmaker explains why he wanted to transpose into fiction the dramatic, Kafkaesque story that opposed his country to many families forced into corners   19/11/2024 Ukrainian Zhanna Ozirna bags the Golden Atlas, while Romania’s Bogdan Mureșanu scoops the Silver Atlas for Best Director thanks to The New Year That Never Came   18/11/2024 | Arras 2024 | Awards Stijn Bouma delivers a poignant and highly engaged first fiction film about the scandalous oppression of a woman of Turkish origin by the Dutch authorities   15/11/2024 | Arras 2024 Abel and Gordon will preside over the competition jury of the 25th edition of the French event, which will unfold from 8-17 November   11/10/2024 | Arras 2024
