Attend a Masterclass with Professor Murray Pomerance
About this event
Join our George Watson Visiting Professor, Murray Pomerance, for a masterclass on How to Write About the Moving Image . This workshop will hope to confront some of the challenges, riddles, mysteries, obstacles, lures, slipperiness, pains, and rewards that face us when we try bringing our language to meet images in general, and in particular images in motion. The experience will be especially helpful for those hoping or intending publication about film and/or television, for students preparing essays or theses, or for devoted viewers having trouble with their blogs, diaries, and postcards. Moving pictures are not writing. Writing is not a moving picture. How can we cross this?
