James Naremore Presents

One of the preeminent scholars in the field of media studies, James O. Naremore is Chancellors’ Professor Emeritus in Communication and Culture, English, and Comparative Literature at Indiana University. His seven books and countless articles cover impressive theoretical and critical ground and have led him to academic honors such as a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Kraszna-Krausz Moving Image Book Award, and being named as an Academy Scholar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In appreciation of his scholarship and drive to help open the Indiana University Cinema, we have asked him to program four films. For the series, he chose to present two pantheon directors, Jean Renoir and Max Ophüls. Each film will be presented on 35mm and preceded by a short introduction by James Naremore.
