This term the Centre for Film Studies at the University of St Andrews 
has an exciting series of talks planned (see list below). All talks take 
place on Tuesday between 17.15 and 19.00 in the Arts Lecture Theatre 
unless otherwise indicated. Further information, including more detailed 
abstracts, can be found on our website: 
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/filmstudies/events.php.

Tue 12 October
*The Historical film as History, a Field, a Pack of Tricks We Play Upon 
the Dead
Professor Robert Rosenstone* (California Institute of Technology)
Thirty years ago the historical, the feature film which dramatized 
topics set in the past, was hardly considered a genre, let alone a 
legitimate object of study; today it is a field flooded with essays and 
books. This lecture looks at the variety of approaches currently taken 
to the historical film, to assess what is at stake in the sorts of 
studies it has spawned, focusing particularly on the differences in 
those undertaken by Historians and those scholars in Film or Cultural 
Studies.

Wed 27 October (School 2)
*Islam on the Popular Battlefield: How Young People Contest Islamophobia 
on YouTube
Professor Liesbet Van Zoonen* (University of Loughborough)
This talk looks at the anti-Islamic film/ Fitna/, made by Dutch MP Geert 
Wilders in 2008, and how young people have uploaded self-made or copied 
videos to YouTube by way of response. (Please note change of day and venue.)

Tue 9 November
*Questioning the contemporary development of Film Festivals
Jean Michel Frodon* (Editor, Cahiers du cinéma)
Film festivals always were much more than a showcase for new films; they 
were also diplomatic and cultural events. This talk will show that, 
although these aspects have not faded away, two major new developments 
that have arisen in recent years.

Fri 19 November
*John Simmons* (Filmmaker and managing director of ON Communication)
[Talk on science films. Title and abstract t.b.c.]

Tue 23 November
*Framed Intimacy in Transnational Cinemas
Serazer Pekerman* (University of St Andrews)
This talk will focus on internationally acknowledged art house 
filmmakers/ auteurs who make use of female characters in order to create 
a Deleuze and Guattarian 'molecular resistance' against patriarchal 
regimes in their films.

Tue 7 December
*Man and Boy: Montgomery Clift, Queer Theory, and Wild River
Dr Elisabetta Girelli* (University of St Andrews)

This paper is concerned with Montgomery Clift's career following the 
devastating car accident he suffered in 1956. It argues that /Wild River 
/(Elia Kazan, 1960) exemplifies how Clift's later films radically 
challenge normative notions of masculinity and heterosexuality
