Uli, Your conference looks very interesting. Thanks for sending the schedule. I know all the old-guard folks from Canada, so please give them my regards, especially Michael and Peggy.
You probably aren't too familiar with my current work in media democracy, called "Secession from the Broadcast," but a lecture will soon be online and I think you'll find that it addresses many of the same questions that are raised in your conference. Meanwhile, please tell me if your Kuchar thesis will be translated into English, and if so, when would that happen? Good luck with the conference, Gene -----Original Message----- From: Uli Ziemons Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 5:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Frameworks] Think:Film - Registration deadline extended!

For full congress program see below or http://www.arsenal-berlin.de/de/transfer/seminare-konferenzen/thinkfilm.html Think:Film International Experimental Cinema Congress 2012 10.-14. Oktober 2012 Akademie der Künste am Hanseatenweg, Berlin The central goal of Think:Film is to make a philosophical reassessment of the special position enjoyed by film and the cinematic image in artistic and intellectual practice and to redefine what this position might be. What direct influence does the cinematic image have on current thought and how can film itself become a way of thinking? The congress is not concerned primarily with film genres, but seeks instead to pose fundamental questions: What is thought in connection with cinematic images and what are these images in connection with thought? Which types of images trigger which types of thought, which are capable of eradicating which types of thought? Which types of images can become an integral part of which types of thought? Which cinematic images are in circulation and which kind of thinking does this point to?
