Guest Lecture & Workshop with Prof. Jason Mittell (Middlebury College)
At the end of October, Prof Jason Mittell from the Middlebury College visited Hannover and the Hollywood Memories team for two insightful events: on Thursday, Oct 23, Jason gave a guest lecture on “Complex TV … Continued” in Kathleen’s class on “Seriality and Popular Culture.” Drawing upon his 2015 book, Complex Television, his talk focused on the rise of complex serial programs, such as the anthology miniseries Fargo, and how television storytelling has changed in the 21st century and through the rise of streaming platforms.
On Friday, Oct 24, the Hollywood Memories team hosted a workshop titled “Videographic Criticism: From Video Essay to Videographic Book.” Here, Jason gave a public lecture on “Videographic Criticism and Reflexive Objects and Prayctices.” The day concluded with our team’s closed work-in-progress session on a video essay focusing on movie piracy around the world.
