experience provides the focus for this invited interdisciplinary 
workshop, the second 'CinematicEthics' symposium at Macquarie 
University, organised by Dr Robert Sinnerbrink as part of his ARC Future

through Film' (FT 130100334).


The symposium brings together national and international researchers

Presentations with deal with topics such as moral psychology and 
narrative cinema; moral psychology and video games; neuroscientific and 
cognitivst approaches to emotion and cinematic experience; the ethics of 
empathy in film; phenomenology, ethics, and aesthetics of cinema; 
phenomenology and eco-aesthetics; phenomenology, ethics, and cinematic 
poetry; editing techniques and the expression of thought; the 
relationship between phenomenological and cognitivist approaches to 
emotion and mood in film.
