Two film screenings and a symposium, which will consider the heightened world of film melodrama as a site for the gendered representation of intense emotional experience. The Seventh Veil uses psychiatry, a popular theme of 1940s cinema, to explore female consciousness, trauma and romantic love, while the male-centred Bigger Than Life constructs a baroque, disordered vision of suburban America and family life in the 1950s. A panel of film scholars will consider questions of affect, aesthetics, genre and gender.<\/p>\n
Wednesday 19th November:\u00a0The Seventh Veil (1945), introduced by Peter Evans<\/p>\n
Wednesday 26th November:\u00a0Bigger Than Life (1956), introduced by Andrew Asibong<\/p>\n
Panel discussion: Andrew Asibong (Birkbeck), Peter Evans (QMUL), Laura Mulvey (Birkbeck), followed by discussion. Chair: Adrian Garvey (QMUL).<\/p>\n
