[ecrea] Special symposium: New Perspectives on 1960s British Cinema

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.

Television on York's Heslington East campus. 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:
