Time and Digital Media in Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy - Dr. Peter Lurie
February 10, 2014
Faculty Talk @ Boatwright
“Time and Digital Media in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy”
Dr. Peter Lurie, University of Richmond
Monday, February 17, 12 noon – 1 p.m.
Boatwright Library, 1st Floor
Peter Lurie, Associate Professor of English, will speak on “Time and Digital Media in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy”. His talk will focus on how Linklater’s movies, like cinema generally, have transformed since the Trilogy’s inception with Before Sunrise in 2004. In particular he will focus on how the shift to digital production informs Linklater's most recent installment, Before Midnight (2013), and its technical "memory" of an earlier format in analogue film, one that viewers reanimate by way of their contact -- visual as well as imaginative -- with earlier events and kinds of images. He will also discuss the ways the films' engagement with different temporal modes is shaped by their emphases on space and motion, ones facilitated by considerations of the philosophical work of Bergson and Deleuze and by phenomenolgy.
Bring your lunch. Drinks/cookies will be available.
