FTV Organisers of Samizdat Film Festival Celebrate its Return
Samizdat Film Festival (https://samizdatfest.co.uk/) in Scotland, co-founded and ran by Ilia Ryzhenko, misha (irek) yakovlev and PhD students at other universities will run for its third year from 1st until 5th October in Glasgow and, for the first time ever, in Edinburgh on 19th October.
Named after the practice of clandestine dissemination of censored and forbidden texts in Communist states, Samizdat Film Festival is an audience-focused film festival based in Glasgow. The festival takes place annually at CCA Glasgow, online, on the streaming platform Klassiki, and for the first time this October in Edinburgh. With a diverse programme of meticulously curated retrospectives and new films, as well as special events (online panel discussions, silent films with a score performed live, showcases of short films). Samizdat is Scotland’s first festival of cinema from Eastern/Central Europe, Central, North and North-Easy Asia, and the Caucasus.
Vanishing Point - celebrating Duncan Whitley's residency at the University of Warwick
In the academic year 2022-23, Film and Television Studies/the School of Creative Arts, Performance and Visual Culture were delighted to host Duncan Whitley as our Filmmaker in ResidenceLink opens in a new window. During his residency, Duncan worked with academics from around the university, and particularly the Borders, Race, Ethnicity and Migration Network and community partners Inini. His work was supported by the IAS, the Connecting Cultures GRP, Warwick Institute of Engagement, as well as the SCAPVC. To celebrate the end of Duncan’s residency we are organising a screening of Duncan’s recent and developing work (including the work that has come out of this residency), along with a Q&A with Duncan and some time to reflect on the place of artists in residence in the university.
The event takes place in the Faculty of Arts Building’s cinema (FAB 0/21) on the University of Warwick central campus on Thursday 30th November from 6-8.30pm, including a drinks reception in the Agora in the FAB.
