It was a powerful experience! The chants were rhythmic and beautiful. I learned some tikanga, which is the word for Māori customs. For example: you can’t touch someone’s head, as it is sacred. © ChameleonsEye/Shutterstock Aroha , 32, Māori language teacher, Rotorua, New Zealand Te reo Māori is not just a language. It’s part of the Māori culture. Language and culture are linked. You can’t separate them. Te reo Māori became an official language in 1987. So, more people are learning it now. And more people are learning about our culture too. It’s great! © Adam Constanza/Shutterstock © Brave Behind the Lenz/Shutterstock What do you know about Māori culture? Hannah , 41, optician, Margate, South Africa I’m an All Black’s rugby fan, and I know that the haka isn’t just a war dance – it’s a tradition. The All Blacks shared this tradition with the world.

Article by Julie Bridgeman Early Career Before graduating in 1984, she made her first short film, Peel (1982), which won the Short Film Palme d’Or at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival. This would be only the first of many prestigious awards of Campion’s career. She went on to write and direct three more short films, and in 1986, she directed an episode of television, as well as the television film Two Friends. Her debut full-length film was Sweetie (1989), a black comedy drama which received numerous nominations and awards, including the award for Best Screenplay from the Australian Film Institute. Rise to fame In 1990, Campion directed An Angel at My Table1 , a biopic based on the life of the author Janet Frame. This was actually the first film from New Zealand ever to be screened at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the Grand Special Jury Prize. An Angel at My Table drew international attention to Campion as a rising star. It was the 1993 film The Piano, however, which took her career to the next level. With this film, Campion won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was the first time it was ever awarded to a female director. In 1994, she won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, in addition to being nominated for Best Director. Amazingly, at the 66th Academy Awards, Campion was only the second woman ever to be nominated for the award, following Lina Wertmüller in 1976. Early Life Writer and director Jane Campion was born in 1954, in Wellington, New Zealand. Her mother, Edith Campion, was an actress, writer and heiress, and her father, Richard M. Campion, was a theatre and opera director. The couple founded the New Zealand Players, one of the country’s first professional theatre companies. Despite growing up in this setting, Campion was not interested in a career in theatre, and instead earned a degree in anthropology in 1975 from Victoria University of Wellington. The following year, she enrolled at Chelsea School of Arts in London, and later completed her studies at the Sydney College of the Arts. Even though she was studying painting, she became interested in film. After earning a graduate diploma in Visual Arts in 1981, she began studying filmmaking at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School. © CC BY-SA 4.0 Jane Campion in 1990 Jane Campion is a trailblazer in the film industry, and at 71 years old, she has been making films for more than four decades.

In 2021, she made her first film in over a decade, to huge critical acclaim. With The Power of the Dog, she became the first woman to be nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Director, and this time, she won. This made her the third woman ever to win it. An eye for talent In addition to her exceptional directorial vision, Campion also has a keen eye for acting talent, and a reputation for getting the best out of her cast. That’s why actors including Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Nicole Kidman, John Malkovich, Kate Winslet and Meg Ryan have returned to work with her multiple times. Perhaps her most notable coup was picking 11-year-old Anna Paquin for a supporting role in The Piano. Under Campion’s careful guidance, the youngster’s incredible performance wowed audiences and earned her an Oscar. The feminine vision Despite her illustrious career, Campion is still disappointed that her success has not opened the door to other women directors. After her Palme d’Or victory, only two other women would win the award in the next 30 years. As for the Academy Awards, the number of women nominated for Best Director after 97 years stands at only nine. Back in 1990, she said, “To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.” 1 Un ange à ma table - 2 La Leçon de piano - 3 Portrait de femme © Found on Cinematerial.com/Avenue Pictures Production © Miramax The Piano a keen eye un sens aigu de a cast les acteurs a youngster un enfant to wow épater, impressionner illustrious illustre disappointed déçu to deny refuser to suspect soupçonner Dame Jane “I seem to have been able to make a career out of doing what I feel like doing, so why not keep doing it? What’s corrupting is wanting to be more important.” Jane Campion said this in an interview in 2012. Campion might not feel the need to be “more important”, but that doesn’t stop the public from recognising the importance of her work! In October 2016, Jane Campion was formally appointed a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to film. She commented that the honour was something she felt she needed to live up to, saying, “I do hope to support young peoples’ ambitions and try and guide them, and be a companion or a friend. In my area, where I work, which is creative writing and directing, everybody has to find their own voice, so it’s an encouragement and empowerment process.“ © CC BY 4.0 out of (ici) sur to keep + vb-ing continuer à corrupting corrompu, pourri to be appointed être nommé to live up to être à la hauteur de to support soutenir directing la réalisation (de films) empowerment process un processus d’émancipation 6-7 NEWS NOW NEWS English Now o o 140 June-July 2025 Article by Robert J.

The funding will support vaccination efforts through the World Health Organisation (WHO). They hope to vaccinate up to 3 million children. The outbreak was detected in Lae, with wastewater samples confirming the presence of vaccine-derived Polio virus type 2. The low vaccination rates of only 44 percent on the impoverished island have experts concerned about the virus spreading. Australia’s generous donation will help the children to receive the necessary vaccine that can protect them from future risks. This gift underscores Australia’s commitment to the regions health and security through disease prevention. © Silent O/Shutterstock © Nowaczyk/Shutterstock Removing plastics from water with plant extracts The researchers at Tarleton State University in Texas have discovered a way to remove the microscopic plastics from water using plant extracts found in okra and fenugreek. The extracts can trap and remove up to 90 percent of microplastics from ocean, freshwater and groundwater sources. They cause the plastics to clump together and allow for easy separation without the use of any harmful chemicals. The new method outperforms older methods that did use synthetic chemicals. This discovery offers a biodegradable and non-toxic solution for a worldwide issue of plastic pollution. The research is funded by the US Department of Energy and has the potential to revolutionize wastewater treatment and environmental conservation efforts worldwide. Scientists hope that it can be implemented soon to improve the safety of our drinking water and finally remove the plastics polluting our little blue planet’s waters. to remove retirer okra gombo fenugreek fenugrec to trap piéger freshwater de l’eau douce groundwater sources les sources souterraines to clump se regrouper harmful chemicals des produits chimiques nocifs to outperform surpasser funded financé implemented mis en œuvre to improve améliorer English Now o o 140 June-July 2025 11 Helping because they can A US-based NGO called Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) has trained over two million everyday heroes to spot the telltale signs of human traffickers and to report them to the proper authorities.

The surgeons, Dr Inderbir Gill and Dr Nima Nassiri, successfully transplanted both a kidney and a bladder from a human donor during the eight-hour procedure. The press release stated: “Transplantation is a life-saving and lifeenhancing treatment option for many conditions affecting major organs, and now the bladder can be added to the list.” Full natural urinary function has been restored, which could revolutionize urologic medicine. 8-11
