About the course
The objective of the course "Artistic Research in Film and Related Audiovisual Art Forms" is to introduce students to artistic research specifically related to work within film and related audiovisual art forms, focusing on theories, methods, and practices characteristic of artistic research in this specific field.
The course is structured around two sessions comprising academic presentations, workshops, seminar discussions, and similar activities.
The first session introduces reflections on artistic research, leading to a plenary discussion and a group assignment to be presented the following day. This session is led by an invited expert with significant experience in artistic research, alongside the leader and coordinator of the Ph.D. program FILMART.
The second session delves deeper into a theme based on input from the group of doctoral candidates. The first day the candidates introduce relevant perspectives for discussion and reflection, followed by comments from an invited expert. The next day is organized as a broadly structured roundtable discussion that brings together perspectives and issues raised in both sessions.
It is expected that the doctoral candidates do some preparatory work ahead of the two sessions and prepare reflections afterwards. The reflection work will be followed up in individual guidance sessions for each candidates.
