DESCRIPTION:This innovative roundtable discussion will draw on the experti
 se of curators\, filmmakers\, academics and museum professionals to explor
 e what both real films and the ‘imaginary film’ of the spaces of the F
 itzwilliam Museum might look like. This exciting event will also give a ra
 re opportunity to see films made in the Fitzwilliam Museum\, within the ga
 lleries of Museum itself.\n\nInspired by the cultural critic André Malrau
 x's idea of the Museum without Walls\, or the ‘imaginary museum’\, the
  roundtable will turn the idea of an imaginary museum on its head once aga
 in. If Malraux's idea of the museum is one produced by pathways in the ima
 gination\, what would a version of that imaginary space look like in film?
  What would that ‘imaginary film’ be?\n\nThe roundtable will explore s
 uch questions as:\n\n    * What would the imaginary film of works in a par
 ticular gallery in the Fitzwilliam Museum do? What kinds of visual and cul
 tural narratives would it tell?\n    * What exploratory links could this i
 maginary film make between the spaces of the Museum\, the art works of tha
 t space\, the dialogues between works hung in the space\, and the relation
 ships between medium of the art works and the medium of film itself? \n\nC
 haired by Jenny Chamarette (Research Fellow\, University of Cambridge).\n\
