> Wednesday 1 June, 2005
> (Organized by Harri Kilpi, James Russell and Jonathan Stubbs)
>
> The School of Film and Television Studies at the University of East
> Anglia
> is holding a study day organised by the Ph.D. students on Historical
> Adventure films. From early cinema to the present, historical subjects
> have
> been the focus of both big budget spectaculars and low budget cult
> films.
> Although such films often focus on heroic male action, many have also
> been
> crucial to the industry through their appeal to female audiences. While
> often derided as vulgar and tasteless, many sought to associate
> themselves
> with legitimate culture through their reliance on classic texts
> (Homer, the
> Bible, Shakespeare) or through the portrayal of significant historical
> events (the Fall of the Roman Empire, the birth of Christianity, the
> forging
> of modern nation states). The study day will present a range of papers
> and
> is free to all those who wish to attend, so long as you have informed
> us in
> advance. We are particularly eager to encourage attendance by
> undergraduate
> and graduate levels students.
