Centre for Screen Studies

The Centre for Screen Studies is a research centre within the Drama discipline area of the School of Arts, Histories and Cultures at the University of Manchester. Its interests range across a wide field from Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood to the history of social documentary. The Director is Alan Marcus, co-chair of the RAI Festival Committee.

Since 2002, the Centre for Screen Studies has collaborated with the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology in the organisation of a series of Visual Dialogues, generally twice per semester, with leading documentary and feature film practitioners. Amongst those who have been interviewed are Michael Grigsby, Ricky Leacock, John Marshall, Leslie Woodhead, Adrian & David Malone, Paul Watson, Penny Woolcock, Tia Lessin and Carl Deal (producers of Fahrenheit 9/11), Kim Longinotto, Jane Treays, Hugh Brody and Michael Eaton. Most recently, Alan Marcus himself and Richard Werbner, Emeritus Professor of the Granada Centre have been the guests of the Visual Dialogues series.
