December 4-7, 2008, Conference, Whitney Humanities Center

"Ouvrir Bazin/Opening Bazin"
This conference will honor André Bazin, indisputably the cinema’s most influential philosopher-critic, who died November 11, 1958, fifty years ago. This anniversary moment has fueled what has already been a massive resurgence of interest in his ideas over the past decade.
The conference is in two parts; the first half in Paris from November 27-29 and the second half at Yale from December 4-7. The Yale portion will focus on the consequences of his writings in films, theory, and the arts, including the current situation of digital media. Around twenty speakers will deliver 30 minute talks. A few key films, and at least one filmmaker in Bazin’s tradition, will enliven the proceedings. More information and a schedule will follow.
