Critical May 68*

extended deadline*

​
On the occasion of the 50 years of the ‘events of May’ we aim, with the 
International Symposium Cinema and Philosophy, to look at this 
particularly eventful historical period, and at the manifold 
philosophical, artistic and cinematographic encounters, researches and 
outputs of the period that are of substantial import for critical 
thinking today.
​​
​

Decolonial wars, workers movements and the involvement of intellectuals; 
film collectives and militant films; auteurist and pedagogical films - 
the geopolitical cadre gave place to an expansive mobilization and to 
cultural, artistic and social forms of organization and work. This 
historical moment is fertile in discussions and research onto the 
relations between cinema, thinking and otherness, to ‘contest dominant 
culture’s continuities’ as Fredric Jameson noted. We are particularly 
interested in looking into the philosophical and critical thought that 
emerged at this moment, how it carried to filmmaking and its continued 
importance both methodologically and critically, today.
​
