artlyst.com	TITANIC CENTENARY MARKED AT BFI SOUTHBANK APRIL 2012 April 2012 marks the centenary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic along with the loss of 1,517 passengers The intervening years and countless tales of heroism to emerge from the disaster have caused the event to gain near mythical status in film and television; the distinct lack of footage from either the disaster and of the ship prior to its departure only fuelling the intrigue. BFI Southbank gathers together many of the filmed dramatisations of the disaster for a commemorative season that spans interpretations of the event from Britain, (Atlantic 1929, A Night to Remember 1958) and the US (Titanic 1953) via a unique take on the disaster from the propaganda machine of Nazi era Germany (Titanic 1943)....	1st March 2012

denverpost.com	TITANIC DISASTER STILL AN UNSINKABLE TALE 100 YEARS LATER The 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic looms before us, bringing with it a flotilla of commemorative coverage of what is already the most obsessively scrutinized maritime disaster in history. Our fascination is driven by a perfect storm of factors surrounding a sinking that occurred on a clear night and a calm sea. Among them: It was the maiden voyage of the largest, most luxurious ship then yet built. The loss of life was staggering — 1,517 people died, including some of the world's richest and most influential people. The pride and self-confidence behind the "unsinkable" ship were overweening, down to the fact that there were far more passengers than lifeboat seats....	19th March 2012

blogs.nytimes.com	100 YEARS LATER: WAYS TO TEACH ABOUT THE TITANIC WITH THE TIMES April 15 is the centennial anniversary of the Titanic disaster, which took the lives of more than 1,500 people and left just over 700 survivors. The sinking of the Titanic is one of the landmark disasters in history, partly because of the belief that the builders’ purpose had been to construct an “unsinkable” ship that ended up sinking on its maiden voyage. The event has since served as a reminder of nature’s terrifying power even in the face of new and awe-inspiring human technologies. Here are ideas for teaching about the Titanic disaster that will help students make connections to the story — and help them understand why today it maintains a “chilling grip on the popular imagination” and has become, in the words of one expert, a “cultural meme.” ...	3rd April 2012
