Between Film and Art: An International Study of Intermedial Cinema

This project will investigate and establish the position of cinema within the digital age by focussing on the crossovers between film and modern art. It will undertake the first major study of this intermedial work in an international context, and develop a new critical and theoretical methodology to do so. The project aims to create a new interdisciplinary dialogue between film theory and art theory, and reconcile the growing divergence in their governing intellectual frameworks. It aims also to positively influence the public work of film programmers, art curators, and artists in both fields. Expected outcomes include the publication of refereed articles in international journals, a scholarly monograph, and an international symposium.
