[Commlist] Conference: “Cinema/Ideology/Criticism” 1969-2019: Politics of Form, Forms of Politics

Conference: “Cinema/Ideology/Criticism” 1969-2019: Politics of Form, 
Forms of Politics

Date: November 28-30, 2019

Place: Aula der Städelschule, Dürerstraße 10, Frankfurt am Main

Published the year after the May ’68 revolts, Jean-Louis Comolli and 
Jean Narboni’s editorial for Cahiers du cinéma, 
“Cinema/Idéologie/Critique” (“Cinema/Ideology/Criticism”) landed like a 
bombshell in the French film criticism landscape. Initiating a furious 
half-decade of politically engaged critical activity within the journal, 
“Cinema/Ideology/Criticism” passed into the film studies canon, both in 
France and internationally. The impending 50th anniversary of 
Comolli/Narboni’s editorial prompts us to re-read and interrogate the 
article both within a contemporary cultural context, and in the 
framework of a longer, transnational tradition of political aesthetics. 
This conference will bring together an international selection of 
scholars to collectively revisit one of the landmark texts in the 
history of film theory.

Speakers:
Jean-Louis Comolli (per Video)
Thomas Elsaesser
Philip Rosen
Jane Gaines
Francesco Casetti
Dudley Andrew
and many more

Organised by Daniel Fairfax (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt) and Vinzenz 
Hediger (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt)
