Film: Summer Series

Our Summer Film series is organised in association with Berwick Film Society. It consists of three talks about film, on Thursdays at 5 pm. You can book for the full series here (£9); alternatively, you can book each talk individually (£4) by following the links below.

Week 1: We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Jennifer Coates as a BEA lecturer. Jennifer will be talking about the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema (1945-60), featuring directors such as Kurosawa, Ozu and Mizoguchi.

Week 2: Dr Martine Pierquin will provide a general introduction to the philosophical cinema of Austrian director, Michael Haneke, with a focus on his enigmatic and much discussed film, Caché (Hidden, 2005).

Week 3: Pasquale Iannone will will explore four films directed by Ida Lupino, including The Hitch-Hiker and discuss how Lupino merges some of the formal and thematic elements of noir with a ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy.
