Cinematography in Progress CONFERENCE

• 3th International Conference on teaching and researching Cinematography
• Brussels 4, 5 and 6 of April 2019
• CALL FOR PAPERS
• Deadline 4th of January 2019

The organization of the 3th International Conference on teaching and researching Cinematography hosted by RITCS and INSAS, Brussels and in association with the Lusofona University, Portugal, invites academic and professionals to submit original proposals that are fitted in the dynamic of the event as described in the topics of the conference.

The partners of this event are IMAGO, the European federation of Cinematographers and SBC, the Belgian Society of Cinematographers.

We welcome papers related to the following subject:

The overall subject of the conference is Cinematography and in a wider context visual storytelling for fiction films. Ideally, we want to invite scholars and cinematographers who have researched related topics as will be debated during the round tables at the conference.

The focus is on the connection between the methodologies of researching cinematography and teaching cinematography.

We have identified four main angles namely: 

The role of disruptive new technologies

This includes topics such as different displays, recording formats and projections technologies and its impact on narration and complications of teaching these subjects in a film-school environment.

Sharing pedagogical experiences

An emphasis will be put upon the tools and methods to exchange teaching and practice experience and the documentation of it for educational goals. Which methods are effective to teach the foundation of lighting, framing, camera-placement, virtual cinematography, 360 degrees etc.. and what tools, books, exercise do exist?

Relation between practice and academic research of cinematography

We want to bridge and connect academic researchers in the field of visual studies and cinematographers that research and teach in film schools.

The exchange of articles, books and experiments is interesting for researchers in related fields such as optics, art-history, electronics, digital data etc.. and vice versa.

Cinematography as an expressive form of visual narration

The debate on the role of cinematography and its impact on the visual narration can range from the perspective of film history, style, aesthetics, film language, color and perception. Putting a focus on Cinematography in the field of film studies for academic research is a promising area to explore.
