Cinema Thinks the World

Cinema Thinks The World is a large-scale cluster that will bring together numerous scholars on and with film and other audiovisual media at UBC. It will offer up a series of scholarly and public-facing events, including in partnership with the Cinematheque. It aims to hold a symposium and a conference on its chief themes of de-westernising and decolonising film studies, including via the production of non-traditional academic outputs, specifically audiovisual work. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the cluster aims to work towards several successful SSHRC and other grant proposals.
