Alumni Of The University Of East London
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished". The term is not synonymous with "graduate"; one can be an alumnus without graduating ( Burt Reynolds, alumnus but not graduate of Florida State, is an example). The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from th ...

The Last Of England (film)
''The Last of England'' is a 1987 British arthouse film directed by Derek Jarman and starring Tilda Swinton. It is a poetic depiction of what Jarman felt was the loss of traditional English culture in the 1980s and his anger about Thatcher's England (including the formation of Section 28 Local Government Act), declaring it a homophobic and repressive totalitarian state. In 1986, Jarman was also diagnosed as HIV positive and had just finished his masterpiece, ''Caravaggio'', so the film is a confluence of angry imagination. It is named after '' The Last of England'', a painting by Ford Madox Brown. The painting and the film, share themes of escape and the changing of place. The film uses a shaky hand-held camera to evoke anxiety, and the ever-present melancholy is expressed in the extracts from poems, including T.S. Eliot's ''The Hollow Men'' and Allen Ginsberg's "Howl", which are monotonously read by narrator Nigel Terry. One of the film's most famous scenes is of Tilda Swint ...

Plot Told in a segmented fashion, the film opens as Caravaggio dies from lead poisoning while in exile, with only his long-time, deaf companion Jerusaleme, who was given by his family to the artist as a boy, by his side. Caravaggio thinks back to his life as a teenage street ruffian who hustles and paints. While taken ill and in the care of priests, young Caravaggio catches the eye of Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte. The Cardinal nurtures Caravaggio's artistic and intellectual development but seems to molest him. As an adult, Caravaggio still lives under the roof and paints with the funding of Del Monte.
