Liverpool Film Seminar

Liverpool Film Seminar – a series of talks

Fostering debate, promoting research and celebrating film

Every year, the Liverpool Film Seminar invites leading scholars to present their film studies research in a series of six talks. The series does not focus on a specific aspect of film. Instead, a range of genres, topics and approaches are celebrated, from Batman to Bardot, from historical reach to the internet’s impact on cinematic material.

Relaxed and informal, the Liverpool Film Seminar provides excellent networking opportunities. After each talk, attendees participate in a lively debate. This element of the series provides a forum for postgraduates, academics and researchers to exchange ideas with fellow experts. Boundaries are broken, ideas cross-fertilised and research promoted.

Typically held in the evenings, seminars are free to attend and held at either Liverpool John Moores University or the University of Liverpool. There is no need to book your place. Tea, coffee and other refreshments are provided. If you would like more information about the series, please contact Lydia Papadimitriou using the details below.
