Lifelong Learning will be holding a one-day cultural event on Saturday 31 May consisting of a series of short talks led by experts from within English, Film and Archaeology.
Cinema has always been, in some sense, the art of bringing the past to life. Drawing from wider visual culture as well as archaeological insights, film can animate historical images and immerse us inside them, and perhaps influences the way we view the past more than any other medium. This day explores fascinating questions about the different ways in which cinema and other visual technologies interact with the past, present and future.
This event is open to all and a full programme of the days activities are available on the website – http://southampton.likn.co/lifelonglearning/news/events/2014/05/31_viewing_the_past.page?
