Good Oil has announced the arrival of four new directors including the recently repatriated Renee Mao, directing duo Novemba, heavyweight creative turned director Tim Green, and UK based powerhouse Sara Dunlop.
Mao, who has recently returned to Australia after a stint in the US, creates work rooted in narrative-driven storytelling that tackles emotional, intimate subjects. She attended NYU’s Tisch School of the arts, where she honed her distinctive visual style. Mao is proud to have been involved in films that promote important social messaging, including anthemic spots for March of Dimes, The Woman’s Hospital of Texas and Huffington Post.

“So, you know, it s always, ‘Yeah, it happened. It was bad, but,’” Alouane said. “No, there is no ‘but.’ Nothing positive came out of colonization. Land was stolen, identities were erased, crimes were committed.”
As a candidate, French President Emmanuel Macron said he wanted to correct the record, and called French colonialism in Algeria a crime against humanity.”
Once in office, he charged Benjamin Stora, a prominent French historian of Algerian colonial history, with delivering a report recommending ways to reconcile the long-standing conflict between the French and Algerian people.
Stora delivered the report late last month, and it has a number of recommendations, such as addressing colonialism more directly in French curricula. But the public reaction has focused on what it doesn’t say: Nowhere in its 146 pages does it advise that France apologize or commit to reparations.

TV channels for towns and cities around the UK would transform lots of communities , broadcast leadership debates for councils and police commissioners, and provide probably the biggest shake-up in our broadcasting landscape for two decades .
That was the idea behind local TV - Jeremy Hunt s big idea as culture secretary 10 years ago.
