Reflections on The Skin of Film, 25 years on
It’s often the case that artists develop an idea first, in audiovisual form, and theory catches up with it later. It was my good luck to witness a movement in art – movies that that did not fit into current ways of thinking about cinema. These films and videos (a distinction from the analogue days) from in the late 1980s and early 1990s were short or relatively obscure experiments, many in cross-cultural and queer cinema.

'Faith communities can be integral to Labour's government of service'
Every day of the week, in each corner of the country, hundreds of thousands of volunteers give their time, expertise and generosity of spirit to improve the lives of others. From the smallest parish halls to the largest gurdwaras, bustling city mosques to every denomination of synagogue, the country’s diverse faith communities go well beyond personal spiritual enrichment and put faith into action – an unsung public service that the country has come to rely on.
OPINION: It’s time for change in the Government’s relationship with faith communities
One thing I have learned over nearly 20 years working in the community, is that every faith group feels it is the most hard done by. There is no way to measure this, but the competitive victimhood in this space is one of its hallmark and less endearing characteristics. This is particularly the case when it comes to the relationship with Government and policy makers, where special pleading from individual communities runs riot.
OPINION: Why is the the F-word so problematic for our community leadership?
After a gruelling and lengthy campaign, the Board of Deputies elected five talented trustees from across our community; younger and older, representing our regionality and diversity, but with one gaping gap – the g word… Gender. Phil Rosenberg, the new President ran a dynamic, exciting, visible campaign, the world of social media finally catching up with the hallowed, traditional image of the Board.
OPINION: We can’t let connecting faiths fall victim to deliberate smears and fearmongering
With the tragic conflict continuing to rage in Israel and Palestine, threatening to tear communities here in the UK apart, it has never been more important to bring people of different faiths and beliefs together to build understanding. However, in my 20 years of working in this space, I can safely say I have never seen such forceful efforts by people on different sides to willingly denigrate these initiatives quite so brazenly.
OPINION: Standing up for freedom demands more than remembrance
‘Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.’ – Viktor Frankl Viktor Frankl’s words hold a powerful truth: even in the face of extreme adversity, we retain the ability to choose how we respond.

OPINION: Come together, right now, over prayer and celebration
Last month, 70 year old Mohammed Rayaz was attacked and set on fire on his way home from his Mosque in Edgbaston, Birmingham. A couple of weeks earlier, and unimaginably, an 82-year-old man, Hashi Odowa was set alight outside an Islamic center in Ealing – seemingly by the same perpetrator. We expect our places of worship to be safe and similarly our journey home – though sadly the Jewish community needs to rely on security measures and the ever present CST for this basic right.

Why corporates need to go further with understanding the faith agenda
Why corporates need to go further with understanding the faith agenda Laura Marks, February 18, 2021 A plurality of thought is one of the many wonderful benefits of the UK’s democratic system, but in recent times, a feeling that goes beyond plurality has emerged: it is a feeling of division, on a political, economic and, most worryingly, social level.
