Keynote: ‘Clint Eastwood’s Inscrutable America’
Edward Gallafent, University of Warwick
Clint Eastwood is an American monument and his work in cinema is
emblematic of five decades of cultural change. As his reputation has
grown he has become the subject of increasing scholarly interest,
particularly since his later work carries a progressively complex
conception of America to international audiences. This two day conference
will explore Eastwood’s legacy and achievements and will offer a range of
perspectives that explore his contribution to the cultural imagination
and to the art of film. Confirmed speakers include Adrian Martin, Frances
Bonner, Glen Creeber, Leighton Grist and Alastair Rolls.
Registration is $50 waged, $30 students. For a registration form and
