Screen/Society
Screen/Society is organized and coordinated by the Arts of the Moving Image Program's Hank Okazaki.
It provides a film and video exhibition program for the Triangle community, with an emphasis on screening challenging and thought-provoking work in its original format, whether 35mm, video, or 16mm. Screen/Society advances the academic study of film at Duke. It works with Arts and Sciences Departments to relate film, video, and digital art to other disciplines. Screen/Society emphasizes the historical nature of media technologies and media cultures and brings a transnational and transcultural perspective to the promotion of media literacy.
Screen/Society provides an opportunity for departments, programs, and centers to curate film series. These series may be related to courses, research or broad themes of interest.
Screen/Society's Fall 2009 program features several film series, including Accented Cinemas of the Middle East, AMES Presents: Documentary Films, Cine-East: East Asian Cinema, French Film Series, Human Rights Film Series, Israeli Filmmakers at Duke, Latin American Film Festival, Picasso Film Series, The Politics of Food, Soccer Politics Film Series, and Special Events (combining film screenings with lectures, performances, or panel discussions).
