The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, in conjunction with LUX (London) and The Robert Flaherty Film Seminar (New York), presents the second Oberhausen Seminar, which will be held during the 61st International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (30 April to 5 May, 2015). The Oberhausen Seminar is designed for international practitioners who work with moving images.
The Oberhausen Seminar is an experimental convening designed to explore contemporary artists’ moving image practice in the context of a renowned international film festival. International practitioners from various fields – artists and filmmakers, curators and researchers who work with the moving image – will use the Oberhausen Festival as a laboratory to discuss what the animating forces of artists cinema are today and curatorial practices that move across spaces, economics and forms.
The seminar is built on the premise that knowledge produced from this seminar will come primarily from within. Participants will drive the conversation and focus. While many guests will offer their experiences and ideas, the sense-making will be generated by the group together. It is the combustion of the many interests and questions of the cohort which will guide the Seminar's outcomes.
Seminar participants will collaboratively curate the festival’s final Podium panel session, which will take place on Tuesday, May 5. The themes and guest panelists for this session will be generated through conversations during the seminar.
The Oberhausen Seminar will be facilitated by curator Chi-hui Yang and filmmaker/educator Marie Regan.
