Great news: The German Research Foundation (DFG) has extended funding for the Graduiertenkolleg "Configurations of Film"!

On July 15, 2021, Pavan Malreddy will host a reading and conversation with world-renowned writer Yann Martel.

"Pandemic Media. Preliminary Notes Towards an Inventory”, the newest publication in the open access book series “Configurations of Film“, was presented by the editors in two episodes of the radio show "Avez-vous du WiFi?", a weekly radio show hosted by Alex Chartrand on CISM 89,3FM, the public radio of the Université de Montréal.

The international conference took place from September 24 to 26, 2020. We recall the panels and the discussions. Where, how and when are cinematic techniques used outside of cinema? How could tacit cinematic knowledge be described? And how did the online format of the conference affect the academic exchange of knowledge?

Book launch and discussion of "Pandemic Media. Preliminary Notes Towards an Inventory" on January 28, 2021.

From December 16 to December 18 the Visible Evidence community will be holding a virtual event in the dates the original Frankfurt conference was scheduled. Register for the two panel discussions and the traditional business meeting!
