Sensible Cinema
19-20 January 2018
This two-day CHASE-funded advanced training
workshop at Goldsmiths and Birkbeck brought key practitioners in film, video,
and sound together with PhD students and staff to explore new research methods
for creating moving-image works organised around an ecological sensibility; one
that is attuned to both human and non-human modes of perception. The notion of
“sensible cinema” around which the workshop and its training sessions were
conceptualised might be characterised as advancing a geo-aesthetic approach to
filmmaking; tapping into an expanded acoustic frequency range and exploring the
limit conditions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
