What's the point of film studies?
If you missed the London International Animation Festival a couple of weeks ago, all is not lost. There are still plenty of things for you film makers to get your teeth into.
First up, at the Roxy Bar and Screen, you can see a live re-score of Jan Svankmajer's Faust. I studied his animation at university, and I can't recommend his work highly enough both for animation buffs and anyone interested in film, sculpture or the art object.
If Saturday is too long to wait, then tonight you can join in a discussion with Danny Birchall of the ICA at the Wheatsheaf pub in fitzrovia. He will be discussing the question "what's the point of film studies?"
This is a regular series of general philosophical discussions in pubs. I suggest you keep an eye on the Big Ideas website, because there is sure to be more interesting topics coming up...
Finally, if you're a budding music video director then take note - the Radar festival is looking for entrants. For £10 (although it is free if you're a student) you can enter a the competition, and put yourself forward for the opportunity to get a commision, cash or just some help from some of the best companies in the business.
