His book The Film Is Cheating: Screen Artifice and Viewing Pleasure will be out from Bloomsbury at the end of the year.

Neil Badmington is Professor of English Language at Cardiff University. His writing has been widely published, with a particular focus on the films of Alfred Hitchcock, postmodern culture, Roland Barthes and contemporary American writing.

This screening is supported by Cardiff University's School of English, Communication and Philosophy.
