Summer University on the City Uploaded: Urban Intersections of Film and
New Media

The city has long fascinated documentary filmmakers and social theorists
alike. From city symphonies to dystopic visions, the cinematic
representation of the urban stands for modernity and its discontents.
Pushing the boundaries of filmmaking towards new media and collaborative
ventures, this course aims to reclaim the creative impulse filmmakers
found in the city and put it to work in participants' projects. Urban
space constitutes a privileged site for such experiments, not only due to
its constant transformation, contestation and discovery, but also as a
laboratory for aesthetic, collaborative and interdisciplinary
explorations. Through its powerful social aesthetics film provides ideal
tools to engage with the city, while the new media offer a space for new
forms of documentary, storytelling and cross-media ventures to emerge.
Together, they inspire innovative narrative forms that recreate the urban
experience through open, collective modes of participation and
interaction.

This course proposes an intensive, research-focused programme for the
creative development and experimentation with new forms of expression,
engagement and collaboration in and of the city. For this it invites a
number of selected projects and matches them with leading professionals in
the field, who successfully combine film, multimedia practice and urban
interventions in their own work. It offers theoretical and practical input
and provides the space for urban researchers, filmmakers and multimedia
artists to interact and collaborate towards accomplishing their own
projects.

Applications are invited from urban scholars, filmmakers and multimedia
artists working with visual and new media in their projects. Application
deadline is 14 February 2015.
