In the context of generous funding from the AHRC’s Skills Development Programme, IGRS, in collaboration with King’s College London and the University of London Institute in Paris, is happy to announce a programme of events around Modern Languages and Film Studies, and invites applications for places and bursaries.

The main events in the programme are:

  *   A Spring School lasting the whole week beginning 11 March 2013. This will consist of two days of lectures and seminars at IGRS on the use of film archives and libraries, and on languages and film, a day at the British Film Institute and National Film Archive, and two days, accompanied by a tutor, spent at archives and libraries in, depending on specialism, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome or Madrid.

  *   A Study Day on Saturday 8 June 2013 which will be a follow-up event led by students.

  *   Extensive preparation from autumn 2012 on PORT, IGRS’s online postgraduate research training facility.

In addition, two other activities will be available to a limited number of students on the programme:

  *   The opportunity, for a maximum of five students only, to attend the 2013 International Film Studies Spring School at Gorizia, Italy, accompanied by one of the tutors. Follow this link for an outline of last year’s Spring School:http://www.filmforumfestival.it<http://www.filmforumfestival.it/>.

  *   The opportunity, for AHRC funded students only, of internships and placements at relevant libraries, archives, publishers and other institutions at times and for periods to be arranged after June 2013.
