This year the annual Winter Conference of the Institute of Historical Research focuses on the most filmed historical phenomenon of modern times, the Second World War. Hosted together with the Imperial War Museum over two days, 22-23rd October 2010, the conference brings together directors, such as John Boorman and Kevin Brownlow, and film historians to discuss new perspectives on how we view, and viewed, the war on screen.
