The Shifting Ecologies of Photochemical Film in the Digital Era

Description

This conference sets out to investigate the current state of photochemical film and its future sustainability in the digital era. It aims to stimulate debate on all aspects of production, distribution and exhibition, exploring how these might be more effectively brought together through a combination of academic and artistic research, as well as self-organised networks and communities. Although photochemical film, particularly Super 8 and 16mm, is now mostly aligned with experimental and artists’ cinema, the conference welcomes interventions in all areas of creative practice and academic research. It aims to explore how academic perspectives on, curatorial interventions in, and creative responses to technological obsolescence might bring greater awareness to this marginal yet vital area of film culture.
