Research into the cinematic exploration of ethics has grown rapidly 
since the 2000s into a flourishing new field. This workshop seeks to 
contextualise and broaden notions of what is considered ‘ethical 
cinema’, and to explore how cinema might be regarded as ‘doing ethics’, 
through a focused examination at the interdisciplinary nexus of film and 
philosophy. Drawing both on recent work in film-philosophy and on the 
long heritage of politically- and historically-inflected film 
theoretical traditions (e.g. debates surrounding so-called third 
cinema), this event will focus on how our understanding of questions of 
ethics in cinema inevitably also relates to the situation of films 
within our globalized world. By investigating the intersection between 
cinema, ethics, and globalization, this workshop will open up new 
perspectives on a number of issues and debates, such as how contemporary 
ethico-political cinema works today, how best to decolonise the current 
film-philosophical approach to ethics, to reflecting on the ethics of 
film-philosophy as a cultural practice in our globalized world.
The workshop is free and open to all, but attendees must register on
