Frames from a Round Table. Introduction to Dante's image
Description: Frames from a Round Table is a 30 minute (very amatorial, low budget) video-documentary about a round table discussion about Dante, between students and two professors. It shows three salient moments (1.Pauses; 2.Forms of Beatitude; 3.'Ridere') of the discussion, which took place in Pembroke College, on April 23rd 2015, as part of the Cambridge 750th Anniversary of Dante’s Birth. Professor Zygmunt Barański and Professor Robin Kirkpatrick, Emeritus Professors of Italian at Cambridge, discussed with students the first 36 lines of Paradiso 15.

The aim of this short film is to introduce viewers to Dante's poetry and thought, while documenting the dynamics within a supervision sui generis.
