Conference Death in the Eyes 2: Philosophical Perspectives on Film Genres and Death

[Film and Death Project]

Death in the Eyes 2: Philosophical Perspectives on Film Genres and Death 

From May 27 to 29, the conference Death in the Eyes 2: Philosophical Perspectives on Film Genres and Death will take place at NOVA FCSH (Berna Campus). 

Organized by Lucas Ferraço Nassif, Marco Grosoli, Pedro Inock, Susana Viegas, Tiago Cravidão and Vasco Marques, all members of the FILM AND DEATH team, this conference aims to debate how genres, understood as different points of view, each with its own particularity and desire, become processes of meditation about death in the multiplicity that composes the thinking machine that is cinema.

The program features keynote speakers Michele Aaron (University of Warwick) and Jean-Baptiste Thoret (Université de Poitiers), as well as a screening of the documentary film Mãe Fátima (2009), directed by Christine Reeh-Peters, who will be present. Panels are organized around different film genres, including the biopic, science fiction, and documentary, among others, and their reflection to death.

The full program is available here.

Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend at Auditorium B1 (Tower B, Room B102), NOVA FCSH (Berna Campus).
