Closing Conference
December 7-9, 2017
Coordination: Marguerite Chabrol & Pierre-Olivier Toulza

Workshop Digital Humanities
27-29 June 2017
Coordination : Gaétan Darquié
Workshop for the research team focused on the use of our database
Seminar : The film musical and its spectacular models: Between "retro" and avant-garde
Some Thursdays at 5pm
Coordination : Marguerite Chabrol & Pierre-Olivier Toulza
This seminar will consider the film musical as a potential source of tension and negociation between retro and avant-garde spectacular forms, models and traditions. Film musicals inherited this artistic and cultural opposition from their Broadway sources, but re-inscribed it in the history of film technologies.
Workshop #4
Decembre 1-3 2016
Coordination : Marguerite Chabrol & Aurélie Ledoux
The adaptation of Broadway shows had technical, as well as ideological implications, since classical Hollywood films were censored according to the studios’ Production Code.
Workshop #3
June 9-11, 2016
Coordination : Marguerite Chabrol & Caroline Renouard
Many thanks to Anne Crémieux, Claire Demoulin, Jean-Baptiste Hennion, Aurélie Ledoux, Delphine Rives and Pierre-Olivier Toulza for their assistance in planning this event.
Workshop #2
December 3-5 2015
Coordination : Pierre-Olivier Toulza and Gaspard Delon
This second international workshop will question what the genre expects from its stars – song and dance skills. It will focus on an analysis of these stars’ artistic performances and career paths, linked to the exchanges between industries and media on the one hand, and the promotion and reception of films on the other.
