Course director
Description
Audiovisual archives have acquired an increasingly important role and gained more scholarly attention which is importantly looking at the language and poetics of audiovisual artists and filmmakers. These are best represented by artists such as Alain Resnais, Harun Farocki or Pietro Marcello – to name a director of the younger generation – who have employed archive material in their works. The course thus draws attention to the main uses of archives in cinema and audiovisual arts, illustrating different trajectories and approaches through case studies and critical readings.
