February 7: Thomas Elsaesser on Reevaluating 3D

Jackson Blvd., Room LL 102, using the State St. entrance located at 247 S. State.
Thursday, February 7 at 6:30pm
Thomas Elsaesser, University of Amsterdam
"Reevaluating 3D"
Respondent: Tom Gunning, U.Chicago
Elsaesser's talk will tease out the implications of two of his recent articles, "Avatar- Access for All" (New Review of Film and Television) and "The Return of 3D" (Critical Inquiry), to ask if, in light of what we know about a hundred years of Hollywood, we can finally evaluate whether or not 3D has been a force for good (progressive, liberal, emancipatory, utopian) or bad (reactionary, ideological, spearhead not only of capitalism but also of the military-entertainment complex)-- or if this very question is wrongly posed to begin with.
