This learning and celebrating event includes an academic plenary lecture in the afternoon, a film screening and a roundtable discussion in the evening. It is part of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) conference on “Transnational families and media practices: methods, ethics, and critical approaches”.
First, Professor Amanda Paz Alencar (EUR) will give a plenary lecture on inequalities and migration in Europe. She will provide academic insights into the themes of the short movies by addressing the Translocal Lives project (EUR) in which she is a lead researcher and that involves participatory filmmaking by refugees.
Second, there is a screening of four short films produced along the Irish border and the Spanish-Moroccan border with visual archives and current images, followed by a roundtable discussion, connecting local, national and international insights.
An inspiring and interactive discussion
Irene Gutiérrez, award-winning filmmaker and member of the ERC-funded project Reel Borders, will reflect on her experience conducting participatory filmmaking workshops and will facilitate an inspiring and interactive discussion. She will discuss the importance of (audiovisual) representation with Ivanna Kniazevych, from Stichting Mano and Anna Strolenberg from VluchtelingenWerk Nederland. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Kevin Smets (Free University of Brussels), principal investigator of the ‘Reel Borders’ project.
The date of the event is Thursday 7 December 2023, in the afternoon and early evening. Keep an eye on the event page to not miss anything.
