We would like to invite you to attend our conference on philosophy of film.
Photography and film in particular paved the way for complex philosophical questions regarding the nature of reality and its mechanical reproduction. What does film reproduce and how can we grasp this element, which has the transactive ability to form reality although originating in reality? This process takes shape through a complex interaction of image, action and narration and tends to permeate reality completely. It is an inconspicuous development that already affects our everyday life profoundly and is based on a revolution of the real. What does film show? Do we have access to reality that is not based on images or narrations? And what can film and its analysis contribute to philosophical debates on the real?
A special focus of the program lies on non-fiction film.
The conference will be held in English.
