Don't look now: Gates distinguished lecture with Anthony Lane
Wed 10 November 2010
Gonville and Caius College
Lane, a film critic and staff writer on The New Yorker, will give a Gates Distinguished Lecture entitled Don't Look Now.
He describes his talk as “a brief enquiry into representations of violence, taking in examples from literature, painting, photography and film”.
Lane, who lives in Cambridge, graduated with a degree in English from Trinity College and is now an Academic Associate of Pembroke College. He has been working for The New Yorker since 1993. Nobody's Perfect, a collection of his New Yorker articles, was published in 2002.
Lindsay Chura, external officer of the Gates Scholars Council who organised the talk, said: "Anthony Lane's writing brings to light the art of film and reminds us all of the important place film and cinematography have in our contemporary culture."
