Besides the Screen is an international research network active since 
2010, involving participants from the UK, Mexico and Brazil. It means to 
investigate the continuing development of audiovisual practices from a 
materialistic perspective, deploying artistic and unorthodox 
methodologies in the context of cinema studies. Its ever-expanding 
constellation of topics revolves around techniques of projection, the 
centrality of marginal processes, and the manifold systems of movie 
storage and transmission. Information about previous events can be found 
at http://bts.re.

This event is supported by the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação 
e Territorialidades/UFES, Mundo em Rede/PUC-SP, LAICA/USP, FAPESP and 
the UK Arts & Humanities Research Council.
