SUMMARY:Cinematic Migrations Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Cinematic Migrations\, as a conjoined designation\, poses the notion of “migrations” in relation to “the cinematic” in an intentionally porous juxtaposition\, conceived to allow a wide range of questions\, interpretations and permutations to emerge. During this initial phase\, the work of John Akomfrah\, currently with Smoking Dogs Films and previously with Black Audio Film Collective\, provides a focal point for examination\, in conjunction with presentations of filmmakers\, artists\, and scholars participating in the related lecture series. \nThe Cinematic Migrations Symposium developed as a culmination of the first two years of investigations\, in which invited guests will discuss facets of what the Cinematic Migrations framework suggests in relation to their work as artists\, filmmakers\, producers\, and scholars\, as well as in relation to the work of John Akomfrah. \nThe symposium is free and open to the public. \n  \nSymposium Schedule: \nThursday\, March 6th 2014 \n2 pm: Registration \n3 pm\nRenée Green\nWelcoming Remarks: Come Closer \n3:45 pm\nManthia Diawara \n5:30 – 7 pm: Reception in Atrium\nRefreshments and Light Fare \n  \nFriday\, March 7th 2014 \n9 am: Coffee and Light Fare \n10 am\nLaura Marks\nRespondent: Gloria Sutton \n11:30 am\nArthur Jafa \n1 pm: Lunch Break \n2 pm\nFred Moten \n3 – 5 pm\nRoundtable: John Akomfrah\, Lina Gopaul\, Renée Green\nScreening: The Memory Album \nOn March 3\, as part of the Monday night lecture series\, ACT will be screening Transfigured Night\, Akomfrah’s 2013 two-screen installation\, a work reflecting on postcolonial histories stemming from Akomfrah’s reinterpretation of Richard Dehmel’s poem “Verkärte Nacht”. Additional films will be screened at the Harvard Film Archive March 7 through 10. \nCinematic Migrations\, as an ongoing research project\, seminar\, and lecture series continues to generate a multi-faceted look at the role of cinema’s transmutations over time\, stemming from its fractured ontology and its worldwide and circuitous shifts\, which include the integrations of its form into online video\, film\, and television diffusion\, spatial installations\, performance and dance\, as well as its appearance in many formats and portable devices. \nMore information about the symposium\, screenings\, and lectures is forthcoming.
