Il prossimo 19 novembre si svolgerà al King's College di Londra l'interessante Conferenza Cities in Crisis.
Se siete dalle parti di Londra, da non perdere!
Researchers from the Department of Film Studies at King’s College London are excited to announce a one-day cinema, media and urbanism symposium. Life in the contemporary metropolis poses a range of challenges such as overpopulation, pollution, gentrification, urban sprawl and socio-political conflict. While it is widely acknowledged that cinema and media play an active role in efforts to negotiate these environmental obstacles, just how and to what effect they do so remains an open and fertile field of academic research. This one day symposium will conclude with a screening of Enrico Masi's Sur Les Jeux Olympiques and a wine reception.
