The Library is on Fire – Part 3.1/Tracking Shot

Lecture date: 2012-05-05

Seminar and screenings by Michael Brooke

Programmed by Charles Arsène-Henry and Shumon Basar

What if a library was to function like a novel or a film? The Library is on Fire will occupy the New Soft Room with a programme of texts, images and sounds: an experimental form of reading room. Material from the collection will be available for reference during the course of the day.  

Film critic and theorist Michael Brooke will conduct a seminar on the language of the ‘tracking shot’ in the history of cinema, including Week-end, The Shining and The Night is Young. 

The Library is on Fire, conceived by Charles Arsène-Henry, is the second hemisphere of the future LUMA Foundation library.
