"Les parapluies de Cherbourg"
Film
An angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner's delicate daughter, glowing with first love for a handsome garage mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is shipped off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must grow up quickly. Exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors and told entirely through the lilting songs of the great composer Michel Legrand, "Les parapluies de Cherbourg" is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.

Controversies in Communication Lecture Series: The Bond Mirror

This lecture will break down the reflections of those norms and trends we see, both good and bad and discuss if we are better or worse for seeing society in this manner.

"Turn Back the Clock: Metamodern Bodies in Virtual Film Production” 2026 Communication and Media Studies Lecture
Lectures
As an index of contemporary life and culture, twenty-first century cinema so far has reflected a new cultural logic, which scholars have termed metamodernism, ruled by data, preoccupied with the past, and punctuated by crisis. This talk considers the development of real-time digital de-aging techniques employed in Robert Zemeckis’s Here (2024) as an emblem of the metamodern impulse to return to the past to rediscover individual agency amidst uncertainty. As a continuation of and break from previous motion capture, post-production digital de-aging, and virtual actor film technologies in films such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Avatar (2009), Tron: Legacy (2011), The Irishman (2019) and Gemini Man (2019), real-time, on-set de-aging in Here emphasizes the transformations of human identity into software and data where individuals find empowerment by reverting their onscreen bodies to previous versions of themselves.
