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? Program: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 18:00-19:00 (1) Opening Session The discussants will be Stefanie Schulte Strathaus (Arsenal - Institut für Film und Videokunst e.V.) and Heinz Emigholz (Filminstitut der Universität der Künste Berlin), as well as Peggy Gale from Toronto, the editor of the publication for the International Experimental Media Congress 2010.
