It has now been more than one year since the death of Theo Angelopoulos. This symposium has been organized as a celebration of the great European auteur, and its speakers will collectively explore the continuities and ruptures that define his oeuvre. Specifically, we are interested in Angelopoulos’ persistent belief in art cinema narration as a form of resistance. The symposium is therefore concerned with identifying the various ways that form and history engage one another. Its individual papers will discuss the historical dimension of form, the formal dimension of history, and the philosophical questions raised by Angelopoulos’ films.
The symposium will take place on Thursday 28 Nov from 9am – 5pm at Cinema 327, Robert Webster Building, Centre for Modernism Studies in Australia
