Time and the Body in Film, TV and Screen Studies
The University of Southampton is delighted to be hosting the 9th British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies Annual Conference, whose theme is Time and the Body in Film, Television and Screen Studies. In focusing on time and the body, the conference seeks to bring attention to two elemental components of the physical world, whose manifestation in moving image media is however always dependent upon technological, cultural and artistic determinants.
Conference activities include panel discussions, based on pre-recorded presentations, in order to foster exchange, connections and knowledge transfer among the over two hundred researchers presenting in this annual meeting point for film and screen media scholars and practitioners.
Beyond the dialogical space in these thematic sessions, the conference will also feature a PGR workshop, a practice-based film screening of Independent Miss Craigie, followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Lizzie Thynne (University of Sussex) and Hollie Price (University of Sussex), an ECR roundtable with guidance on Post-Doc, Fellowship and Lecturer applications within the field of film and screen media, a practitioners round table, featuring Prof Lindiwe Dovey (Screen Worlds, SOAS, University of London), Leena Manimekalai (Independent Filmmaker), Hanan Razek (BBC Arabic) and Alys Scott Hawkins (Animated Documentary), followed by the presentation of the BAFTSS Outstanding Achievement Award and a closing academic roundtable with leading researchers in the field.
