> 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.
