The Conference will be hosted online from 16 to 17 April, by the Department of Film and Television in Istanbul Bilgi University
This virtual conference marks Istanbul Bilgi University’s third annual event dedicated to women and media, following the conference Female Agency and Subjectivity in Film and Television in April 2019, with a book from Palgrave Macmillan published in November 2020and the March 2020 virtual conference Gender Equality and Sustainability: Agnès Varda’s Sustaining Legacy, with proceedings forthcoming from Bloomsbury (2021): The Sustainable Legacy of Agnès Varda: Feminist Practice and Pedagogy in Cinema and Visual Arts.
This year’s focus blends scholarship with pedagogy. Scholars and teachers around the world will be sharing strategies, best practices, and past experiences when using films made by women in the classroom and when navigating women’s careers in cinema through teaching and research.
GMM Lecturer Estrella is delighted to participate with her presentation of the video essay ‘Film As Sound Art: Embracing Love through Extra-Diegetic Sound in Nadine Labaki’s Caramel’, produced for teaching and learning purposes.
The keynote speaker for the conference is Catherine Grant, a pioneering artistic researcher and video essayst, who will be presenting ‘Making nearby? On teaching and unlearning women’s filmmaking through theaudiovisual essay‘ on Friday 16 April at 18h30 (GMT+3, so 4:30 pm in the UK).
