Michael Allan in conversation with the Abounaddara Collective.
On Thursday, May 6, Prof. Michael Allan discussed the films of the Lumière brothers with members of the Abounddara Collective. This transatlantic and transcontinental discussion, carried on between speakers in Paris, New York and Eugene, was sponsored by the Institute for Ideas & Imagination at Columbia University. Brilliant at any hour (even 7 a.m., Oregon time), Prof. Allan considered a controversial film from 1867 in light of his current book project on the Lumière brothers and the idea of World Cinema.
