4th Annual Southeast Asian Cinemas Conference
December 17-19, 2007 - Jakarta
SEA Cinemas: Ethics, social justice, and collective responsibility.
This conference emphasizes the intersection of theory, practice and ethics. How do we, as film scholars, position ourselves within this discourse? What ethical responsibilities should filmmakers have towards their subjects of representation? Is there a role for the film scholar as public intellectual? How might we begin to approach and discuss the ethics and politics of film criticism? What might film curators take into consideration when they select and preserve films for archives?
Each year, the conference has included film practitioners in recognition of the crucial role they have played in increasing film education and discourse in the region. It has previously provided space for independent filmmakers and screenings of their works, focused on curriculum development, the importance of film archival work and highlighting alternative cultures of cinema. This year, the conference seeks to include workshops that bring together film activists and film critics from within the region.
