Summer 2013 in Italy: "Methods and Issues in Film Preservation"
Film Studies at University of Maryland, College Park is offering a new study abroad course in film studies that goes to Bologna, Italy. Students from any university may apply.
The Course:
How do we gain and maintain access to moving images? The field of film preservation has become an increasingly prominent part of film culture. Film preservation plays a vital role in the maintenance and reclamation of cinematic patrimony. Without the work that goes on at archives, the films we know and love would not be available to us. Experience film preservation first-hand in Italy. The first part of the course will be on the University of Maryland campus, followed by short excursions in the area. The second part of the course will be in Bologna, Italy.
Highlights Include:
- Participation in the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival
- Collaboration with University of Zurich students
- Exploration of the Library of Congress's film preservation facilities
- Opportunity to visit Colorlab facilities
- Visits to local cultural attractions
See the UMD course listing. Read the informational announcement letter from organizer Brian Real.
DEADLINE: 15 March 2013!
