Celebrate the breadth, significance, and relevance of Powell and Pressburger’s ‘A Canterbury Tale’ with a two-day conference planned for Friday 14 and Saturday 15 June 2024.

The conference will place the film as central to the concerns of the mid-20th century, and to issues and understandings central to our own times, alongside its contribution to film history, its links with contemporary and past filmmaking, and its influence on creative productions across the visual and other arts. We will also use the conference as a platform to stimulate the development of an edited collection focussed on the film.

For further details and draft conference programme please visit the conference homepage.

This is an in-venue event taking place in the Powell lecture theatre, Pg06, in Powell building, on our North Holmes Road campus.
