Film and Television Studies at Warwick has recently introduced an innovative intensive on-site undergraduate module based in Venice. Screening Venice offers students the chance to engage with the past of Venice’s long screen history, today’s Venice Film Festival and the future water cultures of the wider lagoon.

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.

On Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of July, Horror and the Gothic students will be hosting the annual Horror and the Gothic film festival.
