Cinema and Audiovisual Futures

How will cinema and moving images evolve in the years to come? What are the novel methods to operate in the audiovisual context? This thematic area explores various contemporary forces 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 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 to thoroughly grasp their roles in future society and culture.
