Antiquity on Film Seminar
This free programme of screenings, co-curated by experienced and emergent scholars, aims to encourage reflection on all forms of interaction between antiquity and modernity as well as between screen and performance. This term's theme is 'the many faces of Oedipus'. Each screening will have a short introduction and will conclude with a post-screening discussion. All screenings will be held in the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building, St Hilda's College.
Panos H. Koutras' Strella (2009)
Join us for a screening of Strella, described as a blend of classic and modern Greek culture, tragedy and fate, death and rebirth, and a daring queer adaptation of the myth of Oedipus. A multi-award-winning film about the visibility of trans people and the LGTBQ+ community in Greece, Strella will be shown with an introduction and post-screening discussion led by Kimberly Honig (St Cross College, Oxford) and Billie Mitsikakos (Merton College, Oxford).
Screenings are free and open to all, but please book your seat via Eventbrite.
