L'Équipe de recherche sur l’histoire et l’épistémologie des études sur l'Image en mouvement (ARTHEMIS) vous invite à une conférence de Karen Beckman (University of Pennsylvania), qui aura lieu au campus Loyola de l'Université Concordia.
“At a moment when digital cinema is often conflated with animation and composited images, this paper investigates the role of graphic images (such as cartoon drawings and comic strips), composited images, and animation in the films of Alain Resnais. It examines how Resnais is being mobilized in contemporary discussions of what cinema was and is, and asks how we might best understand the role of fabricated images in cinema’s history as we grapple with the challenges posed to us in this moment of technological and aesthetic transition.”
