Alastair Phillips' final edited issue of Screen has just been published. Vol. 65 no. 3 (Autumn 2024) coincidentally features several articles and reviews by Warwick staff and students including Chris O' Rourke, Julie Lobalzo-Wright, Michelle Devereaux and Danielle Rae Childs. It also features a fascinating interview with former Warwick staff member, Professor Richard Dyer, on his curation of the UK's first lesbian and gay film season.

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.

Television/Death intertwines the study of death, dying and bereavement on television with discussion of the ways that television (and the TV archive) provides access to the dead. Helen introduced the book at this event and invited to collaborators to respond to the work, prior to a drink reception. The event was held Coventry Cathedral as this special place was one of the key locations for the events discussed in the final section of the book.
