The idea of the London Project at Birkbeck, of which this event is a kind of off-shoot, was to re-investigate cinema history in a manner that would be expected from, and recognised by, subject disciplines other than 'film studies'. John Sedgwick's work on the economics of 1930s British cinema is a model example of what should be done. With the London Project we had a sense of where to go, but there is so much more to be done. See you there. Agreed.
