One of Britain's best-known film critic, Mark Kermode, has confirmed that
he will
give a pre-screening talk at the Spielberg at Sixty International
Conference during
the evening of Tuesday 20 November. Dr Kermode regularly writes for Sight
and Sound
magazine and The Observer newspaper and has penned two editions on The
Exorcist for
the BFI Modern Classics series. He reviews films on Simon Mayo's BBC Radio
Five Live
show on Friday afternoons, and is also the resident movie critic for
BBC2's Culture
Show. He is a critic on other branches of the arts for the BBC2 programme
Newsnight
Review, and appears regularly on BBC News 24. He interviewed Steven
Spielberg in
2006 for a Culture Show special that he presented.

Mark Kermode's participation complements an impressive line-up of
panellists and
four distinguished keynote speakers: Joseph McBride, an internationally
known film
critic and historian from the United States who has written fifteen books
including
an acclaimed biography of Steven Spielberg; Linda Ruth Williams, who has
written and
edited books on D.H. Lawrence and visual culture, on psychoanalytic
critical and
cultural theory, erotic thrillers and contemporary American cinema, as
well as
articles for Sight and Sound; Murray Pomerance from Canada, who is an
award winning
fiction writer as well as a prolific editor and author of wide-ranging
academic film
books and essays; and Peter Kramer, who has published on topics including
early
cinema, stars and acting, relationships between film and other media,
Hollywood and
Europe, and the New Hollywood.
