Screen/Society
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. The Spring 2008 program featured several film series, including Arts in Focus: The Documentary Films of Alain Fleischer, Celebrating Ingmar Bergman, Celebrating Michelangelo Antonioni, Cine-East: New East Asian Cinema, FVD Showcase (a selection of outstanding recent films, hand-picked by the Film/Video/Digital Program), Mary Harron Retrospective, Sex, Love and Conflict: On the Ethics of Relationships, Special Events (combining film screenings with lectures, performances, or panel discussions), and more to come!
