Cinemas, Identities and Beyond – A postgraduate student conference

Cinemas, Identities and Beyond – A postgraduate student conference sponsored by the AHRC, The University of St Andrews, and the University of Glasgow. The exploration of identity is one of the most contested and thought-provoking contemporary subjects. As a dominant and penetrating cultural form, cinema conditions and shapes the manner in which we interpret issues of identity and space. Our understanding of representation, narrative conventions, film form, industry issues and a whole host of other socio-political factors related to cultural production and consumption powerfully define our ever changing ideas of identity.
