"Film Style in Question" will bring together 11 renowned film scholars — from Denmark, Italy, Hong Kong and the United States — to present some of the current research in film aesthetics.

The symposium honors Bordwell on the occasion of his retirement from the UW-Madison faculty after 31 years.

The symposium will be held from Thursday-Saturday, April 21-23, in 4070 Vilas Hall. For details and a complete schedule, visit the Web site .
