This short film will follow a teenage boy as he walks from home to a bridge where he plans to commit suicide. Through flashbacks, the film will show why he has reached this point and why he feels guilty over his brother's death. It will be inspired by other short films that deal with mental health issues and suicide. The filmmakers plan to shoot in a home and by a canal bridge, and will need a tripod, sound recorder, and an extra to play roles in flashbacks. They aim to distribute the film on social media.
Here I have discussed the age restriction our film would be given based on the BBFC post and how they decide the age limits on new film releases. Also, I have included the reasons as to why our film would fit into the age limit given.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

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.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
2. Short summary
This short film will highlight a suicide attempt. We will
have our main actor getting from point A to B and in this
case from home to standing on a bridge just thinking
before he plans to take his own life. Meanwhile through
his journey we will be showing flashbacks to why he has
gone there and why he wants to take his own life.
3. Audience
We want our audience to be 18-23 year olds because our main character is a teenager so
we think that having an audience a similar age would be better as they can connect and
relate more to the film.
Length
We will stick to the brief and keep the film to a maximum of five minutes .
4. Inspiration
This has come from a short film called 'The girl that lived'. This film
shows how schizophrenia can affect a persons mind set which can
easily lead to suicide. However, our idea will differ from this as our
character will suffer from guilt. We have also been inspired by editing
techniques and camera views used in 'Crooked Smile - J.Cole which we
plan to use in our short film.
6. Logistics & Feasibility
We will need a tripod to ensure that the shots which need to be steady will remain
steady without the camera wobbling or shaking. We will also need the sound
recorder as we need to record ambience sound of leaves crunching and footsteps.
We will be filming in someone’s home for flashbacks . We will also be filming in
Regents Canal, as we need a place that has a bridge.
We will have more than one character within our short film, so we will need an extra
person for the flashbacks. Altogether the number of characters within this short film
will be three.
As our main character is a teenage male he will be wearing casual clothing such as
jeans, hoodie and trainers. Depending on the weather when we are filming our
character may need a coat.
7. Ethical Issues
We have to consider others feelings in the way we show suicide, as for many
people it could be a sensitive and serious situation. As we are showing guilt
for allowing his brother to die we need to make sure that it is suitable enough
for the audience and in all aspects of filming we consider the feelings and
views of others that may watch this film as it will be distributed amongst
social media.
