Hello class,

Several attachments today! Since there was so much interest in Ulkeris Zhikarmened's time at court last week, I've collected a few excerpted letters that may be of interest. There is also a letter to Edrehasivar VIII from his sister the Archduchess Cheno which might provide some more insight into Edrehasivar VII's approach to the film laws. None of these letters are required reading, don't worry.

Also attached is the first essay assignment. Please do read this.

As a reminder, our screening this week is "Teamaking", which was an amateur documentary produced by a tea company in Thu-Evresar just a few months after faced films were decriminalised in the Commonwealth. It's particularly interesting because its target was foreign audiences. Much like other making-of documentaries, its runtime is pretty short by Dakhenbarizheise standards, so we will have plenty of time in the second half of class to talk about the essay assignment and workshop your topic proposals.

Best of luck as we approach midterms.

- Mm. Qentak
