Screen/Society
Spring 2009 screening schedule
Screen/Society is organized and coordinated by the Film/Video/Digital 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 Spring 2009 program features several film series, including the Bloomsbury Film Series, Cine-East: East Asian Cinema, French & Francophone Film Series: 'Love, Past & Present', FVD Showcase (a selection of outstanding recent films, hand-picked by the Film/Video/Digital Program), Full Frame Archive Documentary Series (featuring past winners from the nation's premier documentary film festival), Gotta Go: Exile Ethics (film & discussion series about the experience of forced exile, whether by political, economic, or natural causes), The Politics of Food, Quebec Film Festival, and Special Events (combining film screenings with lectures, performances, or panel discussions).
