Manuscripts and Movies: From The Medieval to the Modern

Manuscripts and Movies: From the Medieval to the Modern at
Harold M. Williams Auditorium in The Getty Center.


Elizabeth Morrison, curator of manuscripts, J. Paul Getty Museum, and Kenneth Turan, film critic at the Los Angeles Times, discuss how both manuscripts of the Middle Ages and contemporary movies have been used to shape—and in some cases manipulate—perceptions about the past. Complements the exhibition Imagining the Past in France, 1250–1500.
