Film and TV Postgrads take part in Millburn House Symposium - 27th May, 2015
Three of the department’s PhD students - Barbara Ottmann, Zoë Shacklock and James Taylor - are on the organisational board for this interdisciplinary symposium that will be held on 27th May.
On 27th May at Millburn House, the PGR community is hosting an inaugural interdisciplinary symposium as part of the Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Research Festival, to provide a platform for postgraduates across the faculty to share and discuss research. The broad theme for the day is “Representation in the Arts”, and our programme of papers, performance pieces, and roundtable discussions will approach this theme from a diverse range of perspectives. The symposium aims to be the springboard for a more permanent interdisciplinary network of researchers, and we look forward to welcoming the PGR community.

The videos constitute preliminary work for a larger research project - Buenos Aires: Porous City - which is a practice-led investigation into the critical relationship between filmmaking and the city. Drawing upon Patrick Keiller’s notion of ‘filmmaking as spatial critique’ the project seeks traces of the film-image in the real locations of Buenos Aires, and uses the camera as a tool for the investigation of urban space.
