Our Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media colloquium is back! We start our Autumn series next Tuesday, October 13, with a talk by Dr. Özgür Çiçek (University of Amsterdam), titled “Films that leak, histories that spill”. The talk explores the expanded life of documentary cinema as it moves beyond the screen into installation and exhibition spaces. It asks how documentary testimony takes new forms through installed objects and embodied viewing, and how this freedom from the frame allows displaced histories to persist. Focusing on works by migrant and displaced artists, it considers how film installations challenge official narratives and open up other ways of encountering personal and collective histories.

New publication alert! Together with Daan Evers from the Faculty of Philosophy, our colleague Julian Hanich has published a new article in the British Journal of Aesthetics.

The article can be accessed here: https://academic.oup.com/bjaesthetics/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aesthj/ayag010/8709582

Join us next Tuesday for a special event in the ICOG research colloquium series ‘Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media’! 🎬 We’re delighted to welcome Todd Berliner and Carl Plantinga, two leading cognitive film scholars from the US, for a double bill of talks. Come along for an afternoon of thought-provoking discussions on narrative film, audience expectations, and feel-good cinema.

📅 Tuesday, June 9 at 16:00
📍 Exhibition Room, Harmonie Building

Todd Berliner (University of North Carolina Wilmington), will talk about the cognitive mechanics of expectations in narrative film and the pleasures that attend their fulfilment, while Carl Plantinga (Calvin University) will present his research on the psychological effects of (generative engagement with) the ‘ethical feel-good film.’
