All the colors of cinema
Since the early years of cinema, color has been a powerful means for expressing mood, creating meaning, reflecting social and cultural customs, or setting the aesthetic tone of a film. Oftentimes, color in film is so important as to become a character in and of itself. In this special session, we will explore the multifaceted role that color has played in cinema since its inception, in order to map out new trends and theories on the subject with an interdisciplinary approach. We welcome submissions from different perspectives and backgrounds, investigating the full spectrum of the relationship between color and cinema.
