[Stephen Gaunson]

An activist in the archives: Scorsese as film historian

This lecture will explore Martin Scorsese's contribution to film history.
Scorsese is a self-confessed film history fanatic, and has been busy
promoting neglected films and filmmakers since the 1970s, and more recently
helping to coordinate international restoration of classics. His own films
are also about cinema, providing a meta-fictional commentary on how we and
he relate to the medium's past.

Presenter:
Ian Christie is a British film scholar, film historian and broadcaster, and
co-editor of
Scorsese on Scorsese. He has written several books including studies of the
works
of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Martin Scorsese and the
development
of cinema. He is a regular contributor to Sight & Sound magazine and a
frequent
broadcaster. Christie is currently Professor of Film and Media History at
Birkbeck,
University of London.
