Forthcoming seminars of note at Auckland University: the Department of Film, TV & Media Studies in conjunction with The Centre for Cultural Inquiry have invited Professor Colin MacCabe (Universities of Pittsburgh and Exeter) to give a number of talks next week. Of particular interest are those on Jean-Luc Godard and Donald Cammell/Nicolas Roeg's Performance (1970). Considered one of the leading English-language authorities on Godard, MacCabe's published works include 'Godard: Portrait of the Artist at 70' (London: Bloomsbury 2002) and 'Performance' (London: British Film Institute 1998). All talks are free and in most cases open to the public. More detailed information can be found on the Faculty of Arts and the University's 'What's On' pages. Full seminar details follow.
