A Short Talk about Mobile Technologies and Cinema Heritage

Charlotte Crofts will reveal the hidden history of Bristol's spectacular cinema scene, telling tales of bombs, snogging and a murder most horrid, through the lens of two of her projects exploring cinema heritage.

Charlotte has recently published The Curzon Memories App and The Lost Cinemas of Castle Park, the latter stemming from her recent REACT Heritage Sandbox award. Both of these have deployed emergent technologies as a means to explore the local history of cinema-going, just at the moment at which ‘analogue’ film is supposedly dead, with the conversion to digital projection and the proliferation of screens.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
