28 Weeks Later

Film Discussion Writing Award

In order to promote film watching as well as English learning, PIFS are now going to launch a Film Discussion Writing Award.

By watching a movie in Semester 1, 2008-2009, you can share your feelings with all of the PIFS members and have a great chance to win HK$50 cinema cash coupons.

What you need to do is to comment on ONE OR MORE of the questions issued by PIFS during the screening events in PolyU (you can find the questions during the post-screening discussion sessions or in the submission pack). The submission must be in English with the number of words limited to 200. Your work will be judged by ELC teachers and you should focus on your language usage and originality.

Participants are encouraged to come to PIFS’ post-screening discussions where you can hear the different views of the audience.

We will choose 3 winners who produce the best writing among all participants. Winners will be awarded cinema coupons and their articles will be posted on our blog.

This is a valuable opportunity for you to practice your English and show your passion in film appreciation. Please join this event by sending your comment to our email: ecfilm@inet.polyu.edu.hk with your name and mobile phone number. Winners will be notified by telephone.

This round, the movie to be discussed is
“28 Weeks Later”

PIFS Screening: Atonement 19 September 2008

Chiang Chen Studio Theatre 7pm. After screening discussion in the Theatre Lounge.



Plot Summary:
A mischievous girl accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit, only to find that her words have irrevocably and permanently changed the lives of all involved in a film that brings the filmmakers behind Pride & Prejudice back together to adapt the best-selling 2002 novel by author Ian McEwan. The year is 1935, and as the summer heat takes hold, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis watches her older sister, Cecilia (Keira Knightley), get undressed and go frolicking in the garden fountain on her family's country estate. The housekeeper's son, Robbie (James McAvoy), a childhood friend and recent Cambridge graduate, also witnesses the innocent act. When Robbie and Cecilia subsequently cross a particularly sensitive boundary and the scheming Briony accuses Robbie of an unspeakable transgression for which the boy is wholly innocent, the repercussions of her unfounded claim threaten to affect all three for decades to come.
