Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2013

Dr Matthew Jones, UCL History

The cinema has long been associated with memory, its flickering images recalling past moments and former stars. However, what happens when we remember cinema itself? Is it the films, the actors and the plots we recall, or the experience of being in the darkened auditorium? This talk presents preliminary findings of the on-going project, 'Cultural Memory and British Cinema-going of the 1960s'
