> The 1st Gesture Mutations in European Cinema International Conference will take place from May 31st to June 2nd, at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. The main goal of the Conference is to interrogate the images of European contemporary cinema through the permanence of the gesture. Is there such a thing as a system of contemporary gestures in European cinema? Which is its link with European film tradition, as well as with North American classic cinema? How do the different European cinemas present the relationship between the filmmaker and the actor in the creation of this contemporary gestuality? Is it possible to acknowledge a European common imaginary background from its gestures? For three days, we will discuss about these and other topics regarding the gesture in European cinema. But the Conference will be more than three days of conferences: it will also include a Workshop in which renowned international filmmakers and actors will be involved.
