About The Event
From the comic to the downright scary, tarot has made appearances in many movies and TV shows over the years. However, these depictions haven't always been particularly accurate...
In this lively illustrated lecture, Melissa Mercury investigates the tarot as it appears in film and television. Expect to explore examples from James Bond, The Simpsons, Practical Magic and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Along the way, Melissa delves into several on-screen 'tarot reader' characters and asks: which movies and shows portrayed them well, and which got them, frankly, horribly wrong? She also explores how tarot readers and tarot cards have generally been presented in the media – and how this has influenced the public's perception of them.

Melissa Mercury has been working with the tarot for over…
