  10. @Oktopus @giantspecks

    agreed: even though #ForeignFilm is used since a very long time, it is very US-centric

    #WorldCinema as a term / category has been for example also used by the #Berlin International #FilmFestival since the 90’s…

  14. Pls, before using phrases like ›throw into the #dustbin of #history‹ or ›throw onto the #trashheap of history‹ — think twice.

    Historically, #Nazis & #Stalinism frequently used the latter phrase when they talked about their intentions for the people they hunted:

    They planed to ›throw them onto the trashheap of history‹.

    For a reference, see the poem ›Trashheap‹ by #ErichFried in memory of the poet #OsipMandelstam who coined the term #Weltkultur (literally ›#WorldCulture‹).
