World Cinema: The French New Wave

Santosh Sandhu discusses the French New Wave…
French cinema in the post war years consisted mainly of genre movies with high production values. It was often studio bound and formulaic. The Gaullist regime came to power in the late 1950s and wanted to promote a home grown industry to compete against the dominance of Hollywood. A film subsidy called the avance sur recettes was put in place which enabled many new directors to get their first films made. Roger Vadim’s commercially successful Et Dieu créa la femme (And God created Women, 1956) had given production companies faith in young directors working with low budgets.

A university in England has been threatened with legal action for telling a computer science student from India he faces deportation after he failed to attend lectures due to having to self-isolate and paying his fees eight days late.
Aryan Patel, 19, a second-year undergraduate at the University of Bedfordshire, said the news had left him “devastated and suicidal” and that his father, a farmer who had scraped together his life savings and borrowed money from relatives to get his son a British university degree, had been unable to sleep since hearing the news.
He said his father had been sick with Covid and that had delayed him getting to his nearest bank to transfer money for the university fees.
