Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland: Law, Prosecutions and Truth Recovery
18 May 2013 11:48
This conference is part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded project on Amnesties, prosecution and public interest in the Northern Ireland transition.

Although people will inevitably make up their own mind about what they consider to be the best way forward on these matters, the purpose of this project is to provide information on the international, historical and legal context to amnesties, prosecution and the public interest in order to ensure that the public debate is as well informed as possible.

SEMINAR:Screen education: The development of film schools in Britain.
18 May 2013 11:48
Speaker: Prof. Duncan Petrie (University of York) This paper discusses the significance of film schools to the wider fields of British film and media history, and the development of its cinema as a creative and cultural form. Although Film Schools have had an important impact on wider stylistic trends, production practices, and film-making movements in Britain, within most historical accounts of cinema, film-makers’ education has tended to be treated as a minor biographical detail or is simply assumed to be one aspect of on-the-job skills-acquisition. This paper examines these issues, and also looks at the Scottish Film School experience, and it relevance to Northern Ireland
