SUMMARY:'The Imaginary Film': Public roundtable at the Fitzwilliam Museum 
 - Curators\, artists and academics
DTSTART:20110707T163000Z
DTEND:20110707T183000Z
UID:TALK32026@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Jenny Chamarette
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 the Museum itself.\n\nInspired by the cultural critic André Ma
 lraux'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
  again. If Malraux's idea of the museum is one produced by pathways in the
  imagination\, what would a version of that imaginary space look like in f
 ilm? What would that ‘imaginary film’ be?\n\nThe roundtable will explo
 re such questions as:\n\nWhat would the imaginary film of works in a parti
 cular gallery in the Fitzwilliam Museum do? What kinds of visual and cultu
 ral narratives would it tell?\nWhat exploratory links could this imaginary
  film make between the spaces of the Museum\, the art works of that space\
 , the dialogues between works hung in the space\, and the relationships be
 tween the medium of the art works and the medium of film itself?\nChaired 
 by Jenny Chamarette (Research Fellow\, University of Cambridge). \n\nRound
 table speakers include:\n\nCatherine Derosier-Pouchous (Head of Cultural P
 roduction\, Louvre Museum)\nJane Munro (Senior Assistant Keeper\, Painting
 s\, Drawings & Prints\, Fitzwilliam Museum)\nAngela Dalle Vacche (Professo
 r of Film Studies\, Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and author 
 of Cinema and Painting: How Art is Used in Film)\nIan White (former Adjunc
 t Curator of Film at the Whitechapel Art Gallery and co-author of KinoMuse
 um: Towards an Artists’ Cinema)\nGrahame Weinbren (artist and filmmaker\
