Tucker-Boatwright Festival of Film: Noir Infrastructure: A Lynchian Air March 27, 2013

Dr. Justus Nieland recently published arguably the most important study of the challenging but richly accomplished cinema of David Lynch. His presentation will discuss the way modern design practices quite literally color and shape Lynch’s famous interiors, including his work’s attention to the role of affect in specific settings and in viewers’ encounters with his films.

He is co-editor of the Contemporary Film Directors series at the University of Illinois Press and an associate professor of modernism and film studies at Michigan State University.
