[ecrea] Call for paper: 22nd International Bremen Film Conference

*_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.//*
