Continuity and Innovation:
Contemporary Film Form and Film Criticism
5th - 7th September 2008, University of Reading Film Conference
REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL 28th JULY 2008
PROGRAMME ANNOUNCEMENT: We are delighted to announce there is now a draft
schedule for the conference available on our website
Keynote speakers: Gilberto Perez, Douglas Pye and Adrian Martin.
Film practitioners: German director Birgit Grosskopf (Further details of
other practitioners discussing their work will follow.)
This conference seeks to consider the critical challenges contemporary film
form poses for us as film critics and theorists, in an approach rooted in
the detail of the film text itself. In addition, the conference wishes to
reflect and engage with the diversity of contemporary aesthetic choices and
filmmaking practices. On the one hand, the conference will explore the
continuities and innovations in contemporary film style, to move towards an
account of contemporary cinema's aesthetic practice and the ways in which
these formal elements shape the production of meaning. On the other hand,
the conference will provide an important opportunity to explore and extend
the continuities and innovations possible in contemporary film criticism.
In addition to the familiar pattern of panel discussions and plenaries, the
conference will include workshops in which speakers will present frameworks
for analysis of the detail of a movie, as an introduction to discussion.
Titles of films to be discussed at the conference will be circulated in
advance.
