keynote speech
In her keynote speech, Lucy Bolton explores how star biopics evoke the living star through Seberg (2019), where Kristen Stewart plays Jean Seberg. She examines the physical and aesthetic differences between the actor and the star subject, and how they affect the viewer’s experience, while considering the phenomenological aspects of watching a biopic and how it might conjure up the past star.
