Live in the Studio: The End of Enlightenment
ACMI's panel of TV addicts reflect on the prematurely canned Enlightened.
Overview
Hurrah! Television and academia are no longer mutually exclusive! Welcome to the 21st century, y’all. That’s right, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image is set to bring you its next edition of Live in the Studio with 'The End of Enlightenment', a critique, dissection and salute of the bygone small-screen series Enlightened.
Industry experts, academics and pop-culture aficionados Ronnie Scott (The Lifted Brow), Elmo Keep (Hungry Beast) and Amy Gray (The Drum) join forces this August 29 to analyse and reflect on the polarising program prematurely cancelled after only two series and conflicted protagonist Amy Jellicoe, played by co-creator Laura Dern.
It all kicks off at 7pm on Thursday, 29 August, at ACMI Studio 1 with something pretty hard to come by a literary analysis that is equal parts intellectual and entertaining. Grab more info on the talk at the ACMI website.
