Historiography has produced one of the richest seams of enquiry for cinema
and film researchers. Yet rarely are matters of research perspective or
methodology reflected upon. Bringing together an experienced body of
researchers, this symposium provides a context in which to explore and
interrogate the conceptual perspectives, methodological principles and
practical working procedures involved with researching cinema history. The
event provides an opportunity for cinema and film researchers to engage in
critical reflection on how to do cinema history.
