My film, Interrogation, would be best distributed by a small, independent media institution because it has a small budget, niche audience, and less advertising than large, mainstream films. Specifically, Lionsgate would be a good fit as a distributor since they have experience with similar thriller genres and remain an active distributor. Other distribution options could include film festivals, which may help low-budget films gain exposure for their unique qualities, or short film competitions for upstarting directors. The BFI Film Forever institution in the UK supports and funds new filmmakers and could potentially assist in distribution.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. What kind of media institution
might distribute your media product
and why?
2. What is a media institution?
Media institutions are a large company that owns
large numbers of companies in various mass media
such as television, radio, publishing movies and the
internet.
The main major film studios are know as Columbia,
Universal, Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox.
Distribution: The act of selling or
sharing media products on a small or
large scale for audience consumption.
Ways in which films are distributed is
dependent on the style of film, its
audience and the media institution.
For example: a mainstream, high
budget thriller would be distributed
on a large scale media institution
whilst on the other hand, a low
budget film would have a small scale,
independent media institution.
3. My film (Interrogation)
However, the media institution that might
distribute my film would be a small budget
company this is purely because our film is not
mainstream and popular in the media, and
hasn't had as much money put into the project
for a large audience in the public. Also it is less
heavily advertised in comparison to a high
budget mainstream film, a small British target
audience with some European interest is
something many independent production
companies specialise in.
Overall, for my film I would choose Lionsgate
as a distributor because of its success with
thrillers in the past and that it continues to be
a very active and relevant distributor since
they have distributed many films closely to our
own gangster thriller (Interrogation).
4. Other ways of distributing films would could be
local film festivals or national film festivals,
involvement into one of these festivals could cause
low budget films to be noticed for its individualistic
qualities.
Other methods might include short film
competitions such as the virgin shorts
competition. This competition is made for
upcoming directors who need a boost. This
competition only allows films up to 2 minutes
long.
5. Film festivals
BFI Film Forever is an example of an UK based film
institution. It is now part of the government and distributor
of Lottery funds for film.
BFI Film Forever ensure that film is central to our cultural
life, by supporting and nurturing the next generation of
filmmakers and audiences. The BFI serves a public role
which covers the cultural, creative and economic aspect of
film in the UK.
It delivers this role:
• As the UK-wide organisation for film, a charity core
funded by government
• By providing Lottery and Government funds for film
across the UK
• By working with partners to advance the position of film
in the UK
