*Apologies for cross posting*

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to publish three documentary focused practice-research projects this month as part of our rolling Volume 9.1.

Catherine Gough-Brady’s Presenters explores the relationship between TV presenters, as experts who visibly embody knowledge, and directors, who are often hidden from view. Coining the phrase “digital paper” to describe her combination of documentary, essay film, and academic explication, Gough-Brady argues that both directors and presenters find a sense of, and loss of, self in the documentary.

Vesna Lukic’s Two Emperors and a Queen, is a haunting, multi-layered film that documents the ‘Kladovo Transport’, the slow and painful exodus of a group of central European Jews during the World War 2. The film interrogates traditional Holocaust research by challenging the way place and history are represented through experimental artistic practice, including rephotography and split-screen.

Agnieszka Piotrowska’s Lovers in Time or How We Didn’t Get Arrested in Harare, explores Piotrowska’s involvement in the production of a play written by Zimbabwean playwright Blessing Hungwe, asking how a theatre production might become a metaphor for actual postcolonial relationships.

The films and accompanying research statements are now available online: http://screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-9-1 

We are still accepting open submissions for this rolling Vol. 9.1 and for our upcoming special issue on Practice Pedagogies - a collaboration across Screenworks and the Journal of Media Practice and Education that aims to build on and extend our joint history of publishing practice research. http://screenworks.org.uk/practice-pedagogy-special-issue 

If you are interested in submitting and would like further advice, please contact us at [log in to unmask] with “Submissions” in the subject line.

Best wishes,

Screenworks editorial team
