Join us on Wednesday, November 14th at 1pm for Nathan Wardinski’s presentation “Do
Film Critics Matter?”
Today film criticism finds itself at a crossroads. For most of the
history of cinema, film criticism has been limited to a select few but with the
advent of the internet, digital forces have democratized film criticism,
flooding the market with new voices. And as digital sources erode print media,
many film critics are finding themselves out of work. Simultaneously, films
that are panned by both traditional and digital critics do extraordinarily well
at the box office. This presentation will look at the change in film criticism
and speculate on its value and function for the future.
The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library, keep walking till you see the gorgeous Minnesota bluffs.
