Of dice and men; production of subjectivity as reflected on essay film

Of dice and men; production of subjectivity as reflected on essay film

Presentation by Didem Pekun, 8 March 2013

On this session I will be presenting the introductory chapter of my practice-based PhD, which embarks from previous works and outlines the reasons for my positionality. 
The current project focuses on essay film and how it functions, if at all, as a platform for production of subjectivity.

Cross institutional presentation at "Poetics and Politics of Documentary Film" in Finland

The AVPhD Group will be participating and presenting a cross-institutional panel to the Research Symposium: Poetics and Politics of Documentary Film - Building Bridges between the Theory and Practice of Documentary Film  

April 22 - 24, 2013 Aalto University, ARTS, ELO Helsinki Film School, Finland

The Aalto University ELO Helsinki Film School (Department of Film, Television and Scenography, School of Arts, Design and Architecture) will host a symposium on the relationship between theory and practice in documentary film. The objective of the symposium is to build bridges between the practice and theory of documentary film.  The symposium seeks to find ways to “theorize within” film instead of “theorizing about” it. Theory can be understood as an active tool in catalyzing the new politics and poetics in the practice of documentary filmmaking.
