This event will explore the impact of colour across different areas of 
Britain’s post-war visual culture. Arising out of the AHRC-funded 
‘Eastmancolor Revolution and British Cinema, 1955-85’ project, the 
symposium will consider how the British film industry’s push towards 
colour – which became mainstream by the late 1960s – parallels the 
introduction of colour in other media and creative sectors.


This post-war proliferation of colour occurs in film, television, home 
video, music, fashion, advertising, and publishing. Each sector employed 
different technologies, processes, techniques and approaches in order to 
transform a traditionally monochrome visual culture into part- or 
full-colour.


The symposium includes panels on different aspects of this transformation:


Restoration and Rediscovery: The Colour Film Canon

Selling Colour: Colour in Television and Advertising

Visual Culture: Colour in Fashion, Music and Publishing

The symposium will be composed of three 90-minute panels. Each panel 
will comprise three speakers, from industry and academic backgrounds, 
talking for around 15-20 minutes each, allowing time for audience 
questions at the end.


*Lunch and refreshments are included with your free ticket.*
