FOCUS Symposium - Cinemas of Less, Lack, Loss: Other Screens. Online Friday, 22 November.
Annual online symposium hosted by FOCUS, the official research cluster of the Department of Film & Screen Media at University College Cork.
FOCUS Symposium - Cinemas of Less, Lack, Loss: Other Screens
UCC Department of Film & Screen Media and FOCUS invite you to our annual symposium, which will be held online on Microsoft Teams on 22 November, 2024 at 6p.m.
The theme of this year's FOCUS research group was "cinemas of less, lack and loss" and for this symposium we will hone in on the concept of "other screens" as a means of exploring the theme. "Other screens" might evoke ideas of alternative forms of production and exhibition, both analogue and digital. It may also quite literally refer to mobile phones, laptops or tablets, opening up the conversation to cinema beyond the traditional cinema screen to the "substandard" or smaller screens that we engage with constantly in our day to day lives, and the ways in which these encounters reflect and shape our experience of media and of reality.
