EVENT DETAILS |
Columbia DSL is pleased to present our first meetup of the decade!
The Aesthetics of Horror is hosted by Film at Lincoln Center at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center
THE AESTHETICS OF HORROR
Horror is viewed by its detractors as simply a cheap way of giving people thrills but no matter the form (book, film, tv, game, podcast, graphic novel, immersive theatre) horror possess a unique capacity to provoke thought & conversations around difficult topics. The result has the potential to make the reader, viewer, player and/or listener consider what makes them uncomfortable & why.
Join us as we examine how the aesthetics of horror can be harnessed to address some of todays most pressing issues.
We'll be joined by a group of storytellers who are exploring horror & its ability to provoke.
