Cinema and Audiovisual Futures

How will cinema and moving images evolve in the years to come? This thematic area explores various contemporary forces that are shaping cinema and audiovisual culture.

Courses will incorporate historical, industrial and aesthetic appreciations of cinema as well as new forms of interactive and networked media that have moved into the mainstream. The thematic area offers unique opportunities for students to put their insights into practice by producing their own audiovisual essays and engaging with the Locarno Film Festival as a local cinematic institution with a global reach. 

In doing so, the thematic area provides fresh engagements with cinema and audiovisual media in order to thoroughly grasp their roles in future society and culture.
