posted June 14, 2011
The annual Northeast Historic Film Summer Symposium, in Bucksport, Maine (July 28-30 2011) is on the theme of Das Wunderkino: A Cinematic Cabinet of Curiosities. Presenters will bring together a collections of amateur films, a sort of cinematic Wunderkammer, or wonder-room. Plus, MIAN reflects on the history of that curious form of display of collections, a precursor of the modern museum that also informed cinema’s fascination with “the gaze.”
