The Crises of Film Criticism and the Promises of Film Studies.

For a discipline in its relative adolescence, film studies has experienced a whole host of trends in its methodologies, emphases and even subject matter. In this talk Dr Mattias Frey (University of Kent) argues against a zero-sum scenario and for a more comprehensive and broad-church attitude to film and media research, using the example of a research project on the future of film criticism in the age of the internet.
