Sat Jul 23 10:06:30 GMT 2016




*_22^nd International Bremen Film Conference – May 03- 07, 2017_*

*Call for Papers: **Film As Research Method.***

*Using film for research and deriving a method from this can take very different forms and directions. In natural sciences and the humanities, for example, film produces visual evidence by way of recording, visualizing and archiving motion sequences. Similarly to the philosophy essay, a film essay can be used as a method of thinking and writing. Furthermore, film can become a **source **for **contributing to historiography**or displaying a history of human ideas and desires**. Finally, in the context of artistic research**, film offers methodological approaches to linking science and art, ranging from experimental film to documentary and fiction film as well as to contemporary forms such as interactive documentaries and video essays. The /22^nd International Bremen Film Conference/ will address the interdisciplinary implications of film as a research method. It is open to scholars in film, cultural studies and history, as well as to scholars working in related fields. During the conference, films will be screened at our local cinema, discussed with filmmakers and examined in relation to their research value.//*

Keynotes:
*Paolo Favero (Antwerp), Sylvie Lindeperg (Paris), Catherine Russell (Montreal)*
