November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Festival Reviews, Reviews

The first edition of the Antalya Golden Orange International Film Festival[1] was launched fifty years ago in 1964, at a time when the international success of the director Metin Erksan[2] ignited national support for the creation of a Turkish film festival. Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival has primarily been a national film festival, despite occasional […]

The business of audience festivals: Calgary International Film Festival 2012

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Festival Reviews, Reviews

In differentiating between two ‘ideal’ models of ‘business festivals’ and ‘audience festivals’, Mark Peranson offers a useful heuristic for thinking about the film festival ecosystem.[1] He describes how the hierarchies of power and relationships among festival actors vary significantly across the two models, a schema that proves very helpful when considering the film festival circuit […]

Moving data

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Book Reviews

Mobile communication via mobile and wireless devices not only dominates social communication in terms of everyday media but has already replaced the paradigm of the computer as the medium of convergence for information and communication technologies. The development of smart phones has far-ranging impacts on the consumption of previously disconnected individual media and has laid […]

Re-writing the history of the avant-garde

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Book Reviews

The task of writing the history of the avant-garde cannot be considered an easy one. The term ‘avant-garde’ itself is in many ways problematic. Because of its intrinsic antagonism in regard to tradition, the concept of the avant-garde can appear as an attempt to break with the entire heritage of art history, or at least […]

Colour Films in Britain

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Book Reviews

At first glance, the image chosen for the cover of Sarah Street’s new book Colour Films in Britain: The Negotiation of Innovation 1900-55 (London: Palgrave/BFI Publishing, 2012) seems to be a somewhat unusual pick for a book about colour in cinema. It displays a discreetly-lit interior scene, an empty room without any people – more […]

June 3, 2013/in Conference Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2013_'Green'

Credit must be given to the academics that created NECS less than a decade ago. After the organization’s first conference in Vienna in 2007 European film scholars finally had an annual venue where new acquaintances could be made and networks cultivated. This process has even facilitated new annual events, most often on a specific subject […]

Playing with digital byproduct data: An indicative example

June 3, 2013/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2013_'Green'

It is fairly common knowledge that all sorts of everyday interactions and engagements with media are captured as byproduct data.[1] It is probably also fairly well-known that such data is routinely harvested by capitalist organisations which then use it in an attempt to predict things about us.[2] However, the ways in which this byproduct data […]

Indigenous film festival as eco-testimonial encounter: The 2011 Native Film + Video Festival

June 3, 2013/in Festival Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2013_'Green'

In struggles for political and cultural recognition many Indigenous groups employ visual media to make their concerns heard. Amongst these various channels for media activism are Indigenous film festivals which, in the words of festival coordinator Amalia Cόrdova, work to convey ‘a sense of solidarity with Indigenous struggles’.[1] Cόrdova’s essay on Indigenous film festivals appears […]

Go east by southeast: 13th Festival of Central and Eastern European Film Wiesbaden

June 3, 2013/in Festival Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2013_'Green'

The Festival of Central and Eastern European Film Wiesbaden,[1] also known as ‘goEast’, is a key event on the German film festival calendar. This is perhaps in no small part due to the fact that the festival is organised by the Deutsches Filminstitut, also because it enjoys a dedicated following among enthusiasts of the larger, […]

As the title of Gertrud Koch, Volker Pantenburg, and Simon Rothöhler’s edited collection Screen Dynamics: Mapping the Border of Cinema (Vienna: Austrian Film Museum, 2012) suggests, this volume provides an energetic, enthusiastic, and engaging journey through the particularities (and peculiarities) of cinema.
