This prestigious conference (in conjunction with the British Academy) focuses on films based in civil rights history and inspired by it. It promotes a trans-Atlantic exchange of ideas around film production, activist subjects, and historical research in the making of civil rights cinema, history and cultural memory. It examines race and rights - activism, massive resistance, film and visual cultures - to intervene creatively in the history of the 1960s and in the historiography of the civil rights movement.
Cost: £120 (£35 for unwaged and undergraduate/postgraduate students).
