Dr. Burucua of University of Western Ontario is a former ÌÇÐÄTV PhD student and will be visiting the Hispanic Studies Department at ÌÇÐÄTV around the same time. A screening of the restored version of Stantic's film, Un muro de silencio (1993), is being organised, followed by a Q&A with Stantic herself. So, the research seminar is linked to this screening, which means that if anyone is particularly interested, they could participate in a two part 'session', although the research seminar would not rely on the viewing of the film or any previous knowledge on the topic. A version of this paper will appear in: A. Spicer, A.T. McKenna, C. Meir (eds.), Beyond the Bottom-Line: The Producer in Film and Television Studies. London: Continuum, forthcoming 2014.
