Lecture: Eastman Kodak, Tennessee Eastman, and Film’s Militant Chemistry in the New South

The Department of Theatre and Film presents a lecture by Dr. Alice Lovejoy (University of Minnesota) based on her new book, Tales of Militant Chemistry: The Film Factory in a Century of War (University of California Press). The book explores how the manufacture of film stock - considered as a product of the chemical industry, rather than solely as a raw material for film and photography - intersects with the history of military technologies from poison gas to the atom bomb, which Kodak chemists helped create by enriching uranium.
