This interview is based on a recorded q&a that James conducted with Richard for third year core module Film Aesthetics (in 2020), and features many questions that were posed to him by our students. You can read the article here.

James also made a video essay inspired by one strand of his dialogue with Richard. 'Reading With the Grain: Queer Theory, Interpretation & the Hays Code' can be viewed on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrr9rUdDggU.

In the academic year 2022-23, Film and Television Studies/the School of Creative Arts, Performance and Visual Culture were delighted to host Duncan Whitley as our Filmmaker in ResidenceLink opens in a new window. During his residency, Duncan worked with academics from around the university, and particularly the Borders, Race, Ethnicity and Migration Network and community partners Inini. His work was supported by the IAS, the Connecting Cultures GRP, Warwick Institute of Engagement, as well as the SCAPVC. To celebrate the end of Duncan’s residency we are organising a screening of Duncan’s recent and developing work (including the work that has come out of this residency), along with a Q&A with Duncan and some time to reflect on the place of artists in residence in the university.

The event takes place in the Faculty of Arts Building’s cinema (FAB 0/21) on the University of Warwick central campus on Thursday 30th November from 6-8.30pm, including a drinks reception in the Agora in the FAB.
