Abstract

For the final installment for the Screen Media Group seminar series for Lent term, we are delighted to welcome Dr. Rod Mengham (University of Cambridge) and the filmmaker Marc Atkins who will be speaking about their collaborations in the ‘Sounding Pole Films’. Working in the faculty of English, Dr. Mengham has worked extensively on 19th century British and American fiction as well as contemporary art, fiction and poetry. Marc Atkins is an English artist, photographer, and filmmaker who has done a wide variety of impressive work including artwork for David Lynch, Scott Walker, and TV on the Radio.

This seminar presents a continuation of the ongoing Screen Media lecture series Mnemotechnics and the Archive, which considers the ways in which individual, institutional and social memories have been understood to relate to media forms that participate in their inscription, subversion, perpetuation and effacement.
