The Edinburgh Film Seminar brings a broad range of film academics and experts to the University of Edinburgh.
In the past, we have had the pleasure to host lectures, seminars and master classes by Laura Mulvey, Michel Chion, Mark Cousins, Chris Fujiwara, Richard Dyer and Raymond Bellour, amongst other filmmakers, critics, theorists, and festival directors.
