Image – Movement – Story is a one day symposium focusing on practice as research and practice based research to explore inter-disciplinary approaches to the connection between the still and moving image, and to examine the relationship between artefact and audience.

The suggested areas for reflection are Story; Documentary; Multi-imaging; New Technologies; Image; Practice and Theory.

Other related topics, but not limited to, might include the following:
•      The use of films and video in areas of research.
•      Art films, gallery films, installations or cinema?
•      The nature of practice as research in art schools and other institutions– how do they differ?
•      Sonic arts and research
•      How does the research culture in the Academy impact on practice and practice outcomes?
•      Practice as research and how far have we come?
•      Questions of audience in relation to research and work produced under the auspices of research within the Academy
•      Where are the spaces for practice as research and are new ones being established?
•     How does the academic environment view practice?
•      The economy of practice in the Academy (or elsewhere).
We are inviting papers/presentations of 20 minutes in length from filmmakers, video makers, photographers, practitioners, scholars and researchers working and researching in the area of Film, Photography, Documentary, Art Practice, Film studies, Media and Cultural Studies, Communications, digital technologies, and associated subjects.

All proposals accepted for and presented at the conference must be in English and will be eligible for publication in a special symposium edition of the Journal of Media Practice
