Description
Will it ever be as easy to download digitized film
as it is to download electronic texts? How can multimedia help in the study of
performance? Who and what is presently available to assist those who wish to use
computers for the analysis of film and drama? This one-day conference is
designed to introduce a range of available resources and current projects
relevant to the use of computers in the teaching and research of film studies
and dramatic performance. The speakers have been deliberately drawn from both
film and drama studies. There will also be the opportunity during the day to
view a selection of digital resources and to chat informally with the speakers.
