The Charles Holden Lecture: Professor Ian Christie (Professor of Film and Media History at Birkbeck College): 'Something Stirring in the Stack? Why filmmakers enter the library'
6.00pm; Chancellor's Hall (Senate House, 1st Floor)
Libraries have often provided an incongruous setting for unacademic pursuits on screen, from manhunts to hauntings, and of course seductions. But they also represent knowledge, which is often dangerous as well as enlightening. And in a select group of films, culminating in Amenabar's recent Agora , the defence of the library becomes a powerful symbol of civilisation itself. Little wonder that filmmakers are heavy borrowers.
All welcome. Attendance free. Wine reception to follow.
