Cinema and Interdisciplinary Interpretation

The seminar draws from the faculty of New York-area universities and independent scholars; regular participants come from as far away as Cambridge, Baltimore and University Park (Pennsylvania). Attendance varies from twenty to forty-five people, with thirty being average. Half of the speakers are from within the seminar, half are from outside. They present works in progress that generally address important ground-breaking topics in film and television studies within an interdisciplinary perspective. Each session has a respondent who is usually a regular member of the seminar. The seminar has an international reputation among film scholars and has become the center for regular, ongoing, face-to-face scholarly exchanges in the field.
