*Concept*
This symposium takes as its starting point Kamila Kuc’s latest book 
Visions of Avant-Garde Film: Polish Cinematic Experiments from 
Expressionism to Constructivism 
<http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/product_info.php?products_id=808282> 
(Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2016), which argues for the 
importance of the relationship between theory and practice in the 
processes of creating work that critically reflects upon the world we 
live in. This event aims to further develop the shared research ethos 
that ‘puts film-related theory into practice’ and vice versa, offering a 
catalogue of experiences in contemporary moving image culture. Looking 
at a number of practices ranging from avant-garde found footage and 
alternative film to digital screen media, this event gathers the 
perspectives of scholars who are active as artists and curators too, 
offering a first-hand account of the structural and conceptual bond 
between theory and practice. **

Speakers include: Paula Albuquerque (University of Amsterdam), Greg de 
Cuir (Belgrade), Bryan Konefsky (Albuquerque, New Mexico), Miriam de 
Rosa and Kamila Kuc (Coventry University).
