Drama

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play performed in a theatre, or on radio or television. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory.

Film

A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film, or photoplay, is a series of still images that, when shown on a screen, create the illusion of moving images. (See the glossary of motion picture terms.)

Film

I honestly don't understand the big fuss made over nudity and sex in films. It's silly. On TV, the children can watch people murdering each other, which is a very unnatural thing, but they can't watch two people in the very natural process of making love. Now, really, that doesn't make any sense, does it?

Sharon Tate Sharon Tate and the Manson Murders (2000) by Greg King

A film is a boat which is always on the point of sinking - it always tends to break up as you go along and drag you under with it.

Francois Truffaut interview in Peter Graham's The New Wave (1968).

Climate policy knowledge for well-informed decision-making

An EU project aims to support policy and decision makers in taking well-informed decisions, by facilitating understanding of the consequences of different policies and climate regimes, thereby reducing uncertainties and enhancing their insights. Work to date involved identification of knowledge needs and their consequent addressing by collecting and synthesising knowledge.
