Although this is a bi-weekly meeting and we aim to keep it that way, we have agreed that our next meeting will take place on Wednesday 27 May 2015 1:30-3:30pm (instead of the following week) to better accommodate the Film PGR WIP calendar and because we had to push back the previous meeting by one week.

Everyone is invited to attend Wednesday 27 May 2015 1:30-3:30pm and we will be discussing a chapter from Lea Jacob’s book Film Rhythm After Sound: Technology, Music, and Performance entitled, “Dialogue Timing and Performance in Hawks” (2015, University of California Press).

Lea Jacobs, Professsor of Film, University of Wisconsin-Madison 

Recommended movies for this chapter are The Dawn Patrol (IMDb), Scarface (IMDb), and Twentieth Century (IMDb) although it is not necessary to have seen these films prior to the meeting; we will be looking at some clips.

Here are some trailers and clips:
