Thursday, May 3rd in Curtin 175, 3pm (runs through Saturday)<\/b><\/p>\n

Are we now in an age of \u201cpost-cinema?\u201d Has the massive global wave of digital production, distribution, and exhibition finally eradicated cinema as we\u2019ve known it? Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, and Peter Greenaway seem to think so, as well as academics from Paolo Cherchi Usai to Alexander Zahlten.<\/p>\n

Whatever the object \u201ccinema\u201d was, it seems to have been summarily executed in the digital era. But whose cinema is ending? If \u201ccinema\u201d implies a universal canon built on default ideologies, has its \u201cdeath\u201d been a response, in part, to deeper investigations into diversities made possible by increased access to the means of production? Are cinema\u2019s many deaths, then, bound to another kind of end: what we understand to be the goal of cinema, whether political, aesthetic, representational, theoretical, or technological?<\/p>\n

Over visual media\u2019s long century, the emergence of new technologies, both filmic and otherwise, have repeatedly elegized cinema\u2019s ruin and celebrated its rejuvenation. The end of cinema, it seems, is fissiparous and cyclical; it has happened, it hasn\u2019t happened, it has happened in fits and starts, and it will happen again. If no one death can be attributed to cinema, perhaps the answer is to consider its multiple endings\u2014and subsequent new beginnings.<\/p>\n

As part of the Center\u2019s 50th anniversary year, this conference is also meant to look back to the Center\u2019s beginnings and forward towards its future. From the mid-1970s to the end of the 1980s, the (then) Center for 20th Century Studies staged more than a half-dozen international conferences on the emerging disciplines of film, television, and performance studies. These conferences not only helped define these nascent fields but also established the Center\u2019s reputation as a crucial site for research and teaching in film, media, and feminist theory. In looking backwards and forwards to the Ends of Cinema, C21 hopes both to celebrate the Center\u2019s first half-century and to look ahead to the decades to come.<\/p>\n
