This symposium aims to explore the intersection of philosophy and 
research on screen media including film, gaming, and handheld screens. 
Traversing both the problems that screen media raise for the discipline 
of philosophy, and philosophical approaches to screen hermeneutics, the 
symposium foregrounds critical and speculative approaches to 
understanding the proliferation of screen technologies in the 20th and 
21st centuries, and the cultures that have formed around them. The 
project will feature a keynote lecture from Steven Conway (Swinburne) as 
well as presentations from Melbourne- and Sydney-based philosophers, 
film scholars, and games studies scholars.
Organisers: Andrea Andiloro (Swinburne), Corey Cribb (Melbourne) and
