ATTENDANCE IS FREE
The conference programme for this year’s CATH postgraduate conference has now been published. This year’s conference addresses questions of how we as scholars and audiences negotiate our relationship to the technologised cinema and explores how we can better understand the role that technology, and our awareness of it, plays into the production, distribution and reception of television and cinema. The conference will have two key themes: New Frontiers in Distribution and Reception and New Frontiers in Technological Innovation. The conference will open with a keynote address by Dr Helen Wheatley (Warwick University).
Registration is now open for the conference and ATTENDANCE IS FREE. Visit the registration page here.
