Hey! Apologies for the cross-post. Here is an invitation to the next Besides the Screen conference, this November. It might be of interest to some. Hope to see you in Brazil! Best! Menotti * * * **Besides the Screen Brazil 2015 International Conference** ~ The Methods & Materials of Curating ~ UFES, 23-25 November USP / PUC, 26-28 November The second edition of the Besides the Screen conference in Brazil focuses on *The Methods and Materials of Curating*, highlighting the importance of curatorial practices both to the work that *engages with* moving images as well as to the one that *departs from *them. Giving body to exhibitions, festivals, circuits and collections, curatorship allows for the territorialization and historiography of the movie, collaborating with the constitution of the time and space in which images come into existence. In that sense, it can play a crucial role in the development of cinema as a medium and a social technique. Considering its intervention in defining the ways in which new modalities of moving image are presented and old ones are preserved, would curating be able not only to ask what it will be of cinema in the next centuries, but also to come up with answers to this question? The conference gathers researchers, artists, archivists, independent and institutional curators to discuss the possibilities of a cinema that encompasses elements from slide projection and the recuperation of super8 film to computational imaging and generative audiovisual processes. Keynote speakers: Thomas Elsaesser (University of Amsterdam), Jane Giles (British Film Institute), Sarah Cook (University of Dundee) and Chris Salter (University of Concordia).
