Thank you also to Senior Treasurer, Owen Rees, for his guidance and encouragement, and to the Queen’s porters, catering staff, and to all those in the Conference Office. It is with great confidence that I hand over to next year’s leadership team, directed by Charlotte Jefferies, and I wish them all the very best of luck.

FILMS FOR EUROPE SOCIETY Presidents: Jack Franco and Sam Lachmann Films for Europe has now come to the end of its second year as a Queen’s society and we continued from the first, with weekly screenings throughout Michaelmas and Hilary terms. Whether projected, flickering and wonky, even on one occasion in slow motion, onto the wall of Lecture Room B or in the luxury of the Shulman Auditorium, the films we showed attracted a varied and interesting crowd into College. In Michaelmas we showed a variety of European films including a four film run under the heading ‘How Italy Changed Cinema’. We could have picked four films from almost any European country and shown them under such a heading given the continent’s – and our Society’s – rich heritage, but Italy prevailed and it was nice to enjoy these films, from a Dino Risi comedy film to a Fellini masterpiece, alongside a mix of students and staff, and lots of Italian speakers. In Hilary term we alternated showing European films with films made outside of Europe: the USA, the Caribbean and Hong Kong among others. For some reason the winter months of Hilary coincided with a slump in attendance of the screenings but we never charge entry on principle – uniquely for an Oxford film society – and it’s a nice mystery from week to week to see how many people and who will show up. With coronavirus it may be difficult but we hope to resume screenings next year as with such a large and varied film library at our disposal in Oxford we have a great opportunity: to watch them on a big screen and with others interested in doing so. Having branched out of Europe this year, perhaps we will make a leap into the twentyfirst century this coming one but some of the highlights of our year’s screenings were: Federico Fellini’s 8 ½ , Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust, Chaplin’s City Lights, Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Godard’s Vivre Sa Vie. 72 The Queen’s College | College Record 2020
QCAFC Captain: Matt Suter Following several player departures, 2019-20 was something of a transitional season for QCAFC’s men’s teams. Things began promisingly with a hard-fought away victory over rivals Teddy Hall on the opening day, as Queen’s mixed an attractive brand of football with a steely desire to win, running out 3-1 victors to go top of the First Division. Reports and College Activities However, this early season optimism evaporated as QCAFC struggled to maintain their form. A Cuppers exit at the hands of Hertford proved a key turning point, as early promise gave way to defensive frailty and an inability to create goal scoring opportunities. The scars of this defeat were lasting, and QCAFC suffered a long winless run to find themselves at the wrong end of the table and facing a relegation battle going into Hilary term. The new year brought little change in fortune, and while every game saw sustained periods of Queen’s dominance, lapses of concentration at the back and inefficiency going forward meant this was not converted into points. QCAFC were unable to repeat their late season heroics of 2019, ending the season four points adrift of safety and having to look forward to life in the Second Division next year. Despite this, cause for optimism remains. A talented group of freshers will be looking to become major players next season, while a strong end to the season from the 2nds College Record 2020 | The Queen’s College 73
