This 23 full colour slide presentation offers A-Level Film Studies Students many interactive exercises that will help them to compare and contrast these two films from global cinema. Mustang (Erguven, 2015, Turkey/France) tells the story of five sisters living in rural Turkey, where village and local Islamic traditions are still strictly enforced. Timbuktu (Sissako, 2014, Mauritania/France) dramatises the occupation of Northern Mali by Jihadist Islamists in 2012, and revolves around the real life story of a couple who were stoned to death for having a child out of wedlock. The two films are studied as excellent examples of post-millennial global cinema and offer many points of comparison. Both films offer means of studying religious debates, culture and global politics. This presentation should fill an entire one hour lesson and may be extended into longer or more developed exercises.

**Raise the Red Lantern **(Dir. Zhang Yimou, 1991, China) is an excellent example of a film that deconstructs how patriarchal power works and in this sense it is a film that is empowering for women, despite being a narrative *about * disempowered women. The film has also been discussed as a metaphor for Chinese state power and therefore also functions a a subversive political commentary. With beautiful cinematography and composition throughout, this film is also a study in cinematic perfection, with mise-en-scene used to great symbolic effect. The film could be studied just as an excellent example of mise-en-scene.
