As part of the AHRC-funded network ‘Global Circulations of Film Theory’, this three-session course explores what we understand by film theory, how it might connect with industry practice and how it might be re-envisioned in a global context. Through presentations, clips and discussion, the sessions will focus on Euro-African encounters across sites where theory has engaged with imperialism and decolonisation.
Each session will be hosted by different speakers: Will Higbee, Professor of Film Studies, Exeter University, with author, film industry professional and presenter, Nadia Denton (13 Jun);
Sarah Cooper, Professor of Film Studies, King’s College London, with Aboubakar Sanogo, Associate Professor, Carleton University (20 Jun); and
Erica Carter, Professor of German and Film at King’s College London (4 July).
