Liverpool Film Seminar

The 'Liverpool Film Seminar' series is postponed for 2020-21 due to the pandemic. We hope to return to face-to-face sessions in the following academic year. Until then - keep safe!

The forthcoming Liverpool Film Seminars for this academic year have been cancelled given the Coronavirus outbreak and the fact that both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University have now stopped all face-to-face events.

Hopefully we will be able to resume as normal in 2020-21.

Till then - keep safe!

Lydia and Gary
