* Installation/Project Presentation: Michael Pigott (University of Warwick)
Porous City: Buenos Aires on Screen 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.
Michael’s two initial test films: Riachuelo Crossing (2014) and Villa 21 (2014) will be on display throughout the day.

We look forward to seeing you at Lincoln in February,

Sarah Barrow (School of Film&  Media, Lincoln) and Clara Garavelli (School of Modern Languages, Leicester)
