The AHRC 1960s Project is running a special symposium in York on September 1st 2017. 'From Profumo to Performance: New Perspectives on 1960s British Cinema' will showcase a wide variety of the latest cutting-edge academic research on all aspects of 1960s British cinema in order to fully engage with the sheer dynamism of this era in cinema history.

The symposium will be a companion event to our London conference, 'British Cinema in the 1960s: Histories and Legacies', which will take place at the BFI Southbank on the 6th and 7th September 2017 (more on that here: https://tinyurl.com/yday3krl).
