The Visual Arts, Culture, and Media Lecture Series
The Music Scene as Cinematic Figure, a talk by Will Straw, James McGill Professor of Urban Media Studies, Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University, Canada.How do films (both documentary and fiction) represent the fluidity of music scenes? Are there particular stylistic figures which have served to capture the music scene as a particular kind of social phenomenon? The presentation will offer ways of thinking about the encounter of cinema and music around the notion of scene.Sponsored by the School of Individualized Study, the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Communication, the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences, and the William A. Kern Endowment.
