[EFF16S3] Session 3: The Academic Audiovisual Essay? Preview Screenings from [in]Transition
Description
[in]Transition: Journal of Videographic Film and Moving Image Studies is the world’s first peer-reviewed academic journal of videographic film and moving image studies. It is a collaboration between the digital scholarly network MediaCommons and the Society for Cinema and Media Studies’ official publication, Cinema Journal. Founded by co-editors Catherine Grant, Christian Keathley and Drew Morton in 2014, it was winner of the 2015 Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award of Distinction by the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. The journal is available here: http://mediacommons.org/intransition/
Practitioners of these “essay film” or “video essay” forms explore the ways in which digital technologies afford a new mode of carrying out and presenting film and moving image research. The full range of digital technologies now enables film and media scholars to write “essays” audiovisually, using the very materials that constitute their objects of study: moving images and sounds.
In this Essay Film Festival event, a selection of video essays selected for publication in upcoming issues of the journal were presented by film scholar and video essayist Catherine Grant (University of Sussex/Film Studies For Free), who was in conversation with Laura Mulvey (Film, Media and Cultural Studies, Birkbeck).
