Film Studies For Free is almost unspeakably thrilled that its author is helping to host a visit to her shores by the wonderful film scholar
Christian Keathley. So thrilled, in fact, that a collected edition of links to his generously-shared, online, film scholarship is given below.
Keathley, Associate Professor of Film and Media Culture at Middlebury College, USA, is the author of
Cinephilia and History, or The Wind in the Trees (Indiana University Press, 2006), and is currently completing a second book,
The Mystery of Otto Preminger (under contract to Indiana University Press). Professor Keathley’s research interest also focuses on the presentation of academic scholarship in a multi-media format, including video essays.
In addition to the two UK events detailed above, Keathley will also give a keynote lecture on his work as part of the lineup for a
two-day symposium in Antwerp, Belgium, entitled "FROM PHOTOGÉNIE TO CINEPHILIA 2.0, a seminar on cinephilia then and now"
. The event takes place between December 7-8. Unlike the two events above, it isnt free-to-attend, but it is incredibly good value. This superb looking symposium is hosted by the Flemish Service for Film Culture, Centre for Cinema and Media Studies (UGent) and Research Group Visual Studies and Media Culture (University of Antwerp) organised in collaboration with Research Center for Visual Poetics (University of Antwerp) and CINEMATEK, with two other internationally recognised keynotes Malte Hagener and Sarah Keller. You can find further details of the symposium
here.
There should be some open access resources emerging from the above events, and if that happens,
FSFF will be among the first to let you know about them.
