Description

Audio / Visual Romans seeks to explore the complex relationship between sound and image in films about ancient Romans: musical accompaniment as the aural encoding of history; film dialogue as the mechanism by which the past speaks in the present.

Afternoon Roundtable Discussion: Intersections between sound and image in cinema (15.30 - 17.00)

Evening Film Screening: screening of 'Quo Vadis' (18.00 - 20.00)

You are welcome to attend either or both events. Further information is available here.

This conference is organised by Monika Woźniak (monika.wozniak@uniroma1.it) and Prof Maria Wyke (m.wyke@ucl.ac.uk). It is funded by UCL's Regional Engagement Fund for Rome, and supported by Sapienza, University of Rome, and the British School at Rome.
