We’re delighted to announce the first Centre for Screen Cultures event of 2026: a book launch for two new monographs, taking place at The Byre Theatre in St Andrews on Wednesday 28 January.
Dr Paddy Adamson and Dr Paul Flaig from the University’s Department of Film Studies will explore both iconic and lesser-known films and figures from 1920s silent film. With piano accompaniment from Dr Steven Gellatly, they will discuss their new, groundbreaking books, Projecting America: The Epic Western and National Mythmaking in 1920s Hollywood (Oklahoma University Press) and Weimar Slapstick and Hollywood Comedy Transformed (Bloomsbury).
A small number of tickets are still available!
