*_Researching Past Cinema Audiences: Archives, Memories and Methods_*

Monday 26th - Wednesday 28th March 2018, Aberystwyth University, UK

In collaboration with:

Media Industries and Institutions Research Cluster, Department of 
Theatre, Film and Television Studies, Aberystwyth University

*_Keynote Speakers:_*

Professor Sue Harper, Portsmouth University, UK

Professor Daniel Biltereyst, Ghent University, Belgium

Over the past twenty years there has been a notable shift towards the 
study of all kinds of past film exhibition spaces (both public and 
private) and the tastes, responses and habits of the audiences who 
frequented them. This is illustrated by the growing number of 
publications, networks and research projects on past cinema audiences 
which cross and connect the disciplines of film and media studies, 
cultural and leisure studies, and history and cultural geography.With 
this shift towards researching spaces of exhibition and their audiences, 
film historians have met the call to look beyond traditional film 
history methodologies and incorporate the use of a wide range of 
sources, from archival, industry and reception sources, to audience 
memories elicited through interviews or questionnaires.This conference 
offers a platform for both established and emerging scholars who share 
this desire to research past cinema audiences – prior to 2000 – through 
a wide range of investigative foci. The conference will allow for the 
showcasing and sharing of current research and, consequently, for the 
consideration of current and future directions and debates within the field.
