Dear colleagues,
The AHRC 1960s Project is running a special symposium in York on September 1st 2017.
'From Profumo to Performance: New Perspectives on 1960s British Cinema' will showcase a wide variety of the latest cutting-edge academic research on all aspects of 1960s British cinema in order to fully engage with the sheer dynamism of this era in cinema history.
This one-day event will be held at the Department of Theatre, Film and Television on York's Heslington East campus. The symposium will be a companion event to our London conference, 'British Cinema in the 1960s: Histories and Legacies', which will take place at the BFI Southbank on the 6th and 7th September 2017 (more on that here: https://tinyurl.com/yday3krl).
Registration for the York event will be free and lunch and refreshments (including a wine reception) will be provided. Though the event will be free, spaces are limited, so if you would like to attend please email [log in to unmask] to book your place.
