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.
