SUMMARY:Screen Media and Theory Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Screen Media and Theory Workshop: Uncertainty\, Turbulence and Moving Image Archives\, UCL\, 11-12 June 2019\n \nThe Screen Media and Theory Workshop: Uncertainty\, Turbulence and Moving Image Archives was held between the 11th and 12th June 2019 at University College London and King’s College London. It was a collaboration between three research groups: the German Screen Studies Network current research project ‘Circulating Cinema’; the Uncertain Archives international research collective; and the UCL Turbulence research project. In the context of the digital revolution\, with the new possibilities for data manipulation and anxieties about a post-truth era it has brought with it\, the workshop considered themes of uncertainty\, turbulence and the archive from the perspective of arts and humanities research\, film and cultural theory in a rich and varied dialogue between academics and practitioners. \n \nThe event started with two reading workshops discussing recent publications in archive\, documentary and new media theory including theorists such as Hito Steyerl\, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun and Elisabeth Cowie. After a short introduction to the respective texts\, participants formed discussion circles to engage in thought-provoking debates on the turbulence and uncertainty created by new technological and social evolutions and by changing techniques of archiving in relation to their individual research and the themes of the workshop. During the workshop\, two artists contributed talks and screenings from their moving image works. Artist and academic Rose Butler contributed a talk to the workshop\, guiding listeners through her use of historical moving-image material from the Stasi archives and her experimental photography using antique spy cameras to handle contemporary surveillance problematics resulting from the UK Investigatory Powers Act. Members of the public joined participants of the workshop on the evening of 11th June for a keynote and screening by filmmaker and artivist Manu Luksch\, who presented her work with found CCTV and film footage in experimental documentaries such as Faceless (2007) and Dreams Rewired (2015) and introduced her most recent film project Algo-Rhythm (2018)\, which draws on Senegalese rap and point cloud data visualisations and won the ZONTA Award at the Oberhausen short film festival in 2019.\n \nThe second day of the workshop took on a more classic conference format\, with four panels on media theory\, contemporary screen practices\, right- and left-wing mobilisations of archives\, data and images\, and a specialist panel on the video installations of Hito Steyerl. Engaging with the impact of turbulence and uncertainty in new media\, presenters touched upon virtual archives such as Instagram and reddit\, topics of race and gender in new screen practices and right-wing manipulations of new internet platforms. The workshop was made possible by funding from the University College London Global Engagement Fund\, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)\, University College London Institute of Advanced Studies and Uncertain Archives. It was convened by Dr Annie Ring and Dr Lucy Bollington\, with research assistance by Laura Lux and Dr Franziska Nössig.

SUMMARY:‘Archives of Decolonisation’
DESCRIPTION:‘Archives of Decolonisation’. Goethe-Universität Frankfurt/Deutsches Institut für Film\, Frankfurt\, April 29 2019\n\n\nErica Carter’s project\, Cold War icon\, explores the circulation around Germany\, Britain and West Africa of documentary and newsreel images of the Pan-African leader and first Prime Minister of Ghana\, Kwame Nkrumah.

SUMMARY:Translating the Archive
DESCRIPTION:Translating the Archive: The Letters of Lotte Eisner\n \nIn April 2019\, German Studies students at the University of Hull were invited to a one-day event funded by the Faculty of Arts\, Cultures and Education and the German Screen Studies Network. The event\, ‘Translating the Archive: The Letters of Lotte Eisner’\, was organised by Dr. Elizabeth Ward and Julia Eisner. \nOver the course of the day\, students analysed archival correspondence between film critic Lotte Eisner and West German film director Gerhard Lamprecht through a series of dedicated workshops. Students were able to apply their linguistic and cultural German skills and in doing so contributed directly to Julia Eisner’s research into Lotte Eisner’s exile correspondence. \n \nThe opening session framed the letters and introduced the key figures to the students. The students then divided themselves into three groups. Each group looked at letters from a different period: 1953-1955\, 1959\, and 1959 – 1963. In Workshop One\, the students worked analysed the register\, content\, and context of the exchange between Eisner and Lamprecht. In the feedback plenaries\, the students reported back on their findings and discovered commonalities and differences between the different sets of letters. \n \nIn Workshop Two\, students worked in their groups to analyse the content of the letters. Students were encouraged to move between the different groups and share their findings with one another. This was followed by a plenary discussion as we continued to find unexpected links between the groups’ findings. \n \nIn the final workshop\, students were given the freedom to decide how they wanted to spend the last hour. \n \nSome students continued their linguistic and cultural analysis of the letters. Students who were interested in translation were able to work on a translation of a letter of their choice. \n \n \nThe day finished with a public film screening of Lamprecht’s 1946 film Irgendwo in Berlin (Somewhere in Berlin)\, which was introduced by University of Hull students and was then followed by a panel discussion with the students.
