It’s Alive!
It's Alive! Electricity, Cinema and Metaphor in Frankenstein presented by Professor Matthew Weedman who will examine how the invention of electricity birthed the interconnected lives of Frankenstein and cinema, as well as how this promethean symbol has evolved through film and proven itself critical to a society increasingly reliant on technology. We will discuss this history through images, clips and humorous tales of wild ambition. Thursday, Sept 20 at 6pm At the Batesville Memorial Public Library
