- We Met Like This A Novel [electronic resource] : by West, Kasie.aut; Bloomwood, Katie.nrt; CloudLibrary;
Beloved author Kasie West's sparkling adult rom-com debut about a hopeless romantic falling for the one man she never expected. Can a swipe right turn into swept away? Margot Hart is a hopeless romantic. That’s why she wants to be a literary agent—to help bring romance books to the world. It’s also why she hates dating apps with all her romance loving soul. She wants her own love story to be just as much fun as the books she reads—a mixed up coffee order, a mistaken identity. She’s not going to tell the story that she swiped right on future husband’s shirtless pic for the rest of her life. The problem is that her most consistent relationship over the last several years is with Oliver, a guy she keeps rematching with on the apps. They’ve only been on one date and it was a disaster…well, until the make out session in the car before parting ways. But, she keeps reminding herself, a make out session does not a relationship make. And so there will not be a date two regardless of how witty their app banter is. When Margot gets fired from her job on the same day she meets Oliver again, her life becomes a veritable shit show. Her dream career is dying right before her eyes, and Oliver thinks she’s interested in only one thing: a repeat of the hot make out session they had three years ago so she can get him out of her system. And maybe that is all she wants from him, because she and Oliver are definitely not compatible—he doesn’t hit the snooze button, he runs five miles every morning, he reads nonfiction, and worst of all, she didn’t meet him in cute way! But in her scramble to keep her dream career alive, by opening her own agency, Oliver is there with his golden retriever energy, more steady and helpful than any man she’s ever dated. Just when she thinks she’s overcome her app bias, she realizes that maybe it’s not her who’s holding back, but him. And his reasons are more than she bargained for. Kasie West's romantic adult debut is full of witty banter, meet cutes gone awry and, ultimately, true love.

- Nu Shu. by Yang, Yue-Qing,film director.; Women Make Movies (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Women Make Movies in 1999.In feudal China, women, usually with bound feet, were denied educational opportunities and condemned to social isolation. But in Jian-yong county in Hunan province, peasant women miraculously developed a separate written language, called Nu Shu, meaning "female writing." Believing women to be inferior, men disregarded this new script, and it remained unknown for centuries. It wasn't until the 1960s that Nu Shu caught the attention of Chinese authorities, who suspected that this peculiar writing was a secret code for international espionage. Today, interest in this secret script continues to grow, as evidenced by the wide critical acclaim of Lisa See's novel, "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", about Nu Shu.NU SHU: A HIDDEN LANGUAGE OF WOMEN IN CHINA is a thoroughly engrossing documentary that revolves around the filmmaker's discovery of eighty-six-year-old Huan-yi Yang, the only living resident of the Nu Shu area still able to read and write Nu Shu. Exploring Nu Shu customs and their role in women's lives, the film uncovers a women's subculture born of resistance to male dominance, finds a parallel struggle in the resistance of Yao minorities to Confucian Han Chinese culture, and traces Nu Shu's origins to some distinctly Yao customs that fostered women's creativity.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Social sciences.; Anthropology.; Asians.; Foreign study.; Second language acquisition.; Sociology.; Gender identity.; Documentary films.; Women's studies.; Current affairs.; History.; China.; Language and languages.;

Jörg Simonides, Kirsten Block, Sylvia RiegerOriginally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1987.Journalist and single mother Marga doesn't hold the music profession in high regard and is not particularly excited when her boss sends her to interview aspiring rock singer Anne. Anne is a trained machinist and lives at East Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg, famous for its artistic alternative communities. Marga is surprised when Anne gives unconventional and provoking answers to routine interview questions. When Robert, an unpublished poet who always has a witty line up his sleeve, and who is also Anne's ex-boyfriend, shows up, Marga becomes way more interested in her interview assignment. A love triangle comedy set in the bohemian East Berlin Prenzlauer Berg atmosphere combined with 1980s punk rock music á la Nina Hagen that comments on East German taboo topics, including environmental issues. The film offers references not only to Konrad Wolf’s Solo Sunny but also to international film history, including Billy Wilder, Woody Allen and Ernst Lubitsch.Scripted by Stefan Kolditz (Burning Life, Dresden), this comedy is inspired by the real story behind the making of Konrad Wolf’s classic Solo Sunny (1978-79). Wolf’s scriptwriter, Wolfgang Kohlhaase, had read an unpublished interview by journalist Jutta Voigt with Sanije Torka, a mechanic apprentice who later studied performance arts and was cast in DEFA films in the 1970s and 1980s.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Romance.; Musicals.; Motion pictures--Germany.; Motion pictures--Europe.;
