It's been another engaging week with talks about incredible Byzantine mosaics of sunny Italy and the not so sunny 19th Century Newcastle, from asking how much we can trust our Virtual Assistants to a very trustworthy artist pushing us to view the world in a way we've never seen.

I attended Roger Mitchel's fascinating film studies session this week: we saw and discussed Charlie Chaplin's 'The Immigrant' (1917), followed by Jean Renoir's 'Toni' (1935), both showing aspects of different migration narratives. Roger never fails to provide insightful analysis.
