_Description and scope of thebooks_

/What does it mean to stand at the intersections? What can this mean for 
the process of filmmaking? /

In the last decade, the dynamism of practice as/in research has been 
growing in diverse disciplines. The possibilities of filmmaking practice 
as/in research have created new and innovative ways of inquiry both 
within and outside of the academy. The process of making knowledge 
through filmmaking has been discussed in several publications. In 
addition, studies in creative practice as a mode of research have 
emanated from the fields of art, design, and performance studies.

However, in screen practice as a mode of research, there has been no 
substantial study that focuses on the notions of ‘difference’ and 
othering’. By extension, there is also a paucity of published material 
that offers accounts of professional screen practice, where creative and 
practical decision-making intersects with any aspects of ‘difference’.

These books will draw attention to the creative processes, encounters, 
relationships and thinking when such things hinge on the experiences, 
truths, memories, places, feelings, contexts and histories associated 
with difference and othering.  By examining ‘difference’ in screen 
production through a range of diverse, professional and situated 
practices, the books will engage with the implications and nature of 
audio/visuality, aesthetics, storytelling, and styles, as well as 
methodologies, ethics, philosophies and research in the production process.

These publications bring screen practitioners (outside of the academy) 
and screen practitioners-researchers (inside the academy) together, to 
discuss how knowledge, both practical and theoretical, grows inside 
experience. The books embrace but go beyond representation and identity 
to deal with on-the-ground questions that screen 
practitioners/researchers ask (or could and should ask) at the 
intersections, about the nature of professional practice and experience.

*/At the Intersections: Race, Indigeneity, and Diaspora in Screen 
Production Research/**//*investigates instances where screen practice as 
a mode of research and/or professional practice intersects with 
experience and knowledge associated with migration, indigeneity, 
diaspora, race, ethnicity or socio-cultural diversity. The book explores 
the complex, cumulative ways in which the effects of these multiple 
forms intersect with the experiences, thoughts, and knowledge of screen 
practitioners and/or researchers, the screen texts they create, as well 
as the methodologies, philosophies, contexts and processes they 
encounter and think about. //

The book draws on the thinking of screen practitioners and/or 
researchers whose research and/or creative experience is characterised 
by living between two or more cultural regimes of knowledge or who 
practice as a minority in the diverse or multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and 
multi-cultural contexts.

*/At the Intersections: Ageing, Disability, Sexuality and Gender in 
Screen Production Research/*//engages with the notion of ‘difference’ by 
focusing on the areas where screen practice as a mode of research and/or 
professional practice intersects with experience and knowledge 
associated with ageing, disability, sexuality or gender. The book 
explores methodologies, philosophies, knowledge-making and creative 
processes of screen practice when encountered and constructed at 
intersections between dominant representation and enablement, and 
minority regimes of knowledge and lived experience. //
