  • Have the opportunity to begin synthesising these ideas in their own work through the practical assignments, leading to development in their artistic practice.

Online Course LOVE ME THROUGH THE SCREEN: Contemporary Moving Image Practices by Sophie Lee

“Daily life unfolds before the glow of the screen. As the auto-fictive turn merges with the ascendence of an attention economy, we are all tasked with narrating our lives in real-time. Experience becomes content, subjectivity our cultural and social capital. What impact does this have on artists’ moving image practices?

Over a series of lectures, screenings and seminars we will cover theories of post-cinematic affect; the politics of domestic space on screen; cinema and embodiment; and the role of sound. In addition to contemporary and historical works of film and video, we will draw widely on cultural theory, poetry, fiction, and Hollywood cinema. We will focus particular attention on Queer and feminist filmmaking practices.

The course combines a discursive approach with a practical component, with participants undertaking a small moving image assignment each week. Participants will then have the opportunity to share and receive feedback with the group.

This course is for artists, writers, filmmakers and curators, and anyone else hoping to either gain new knowledge or build upon existing skills in the area of moving image. All levels of experience are welcomed. Class time will not include technical instruction, however participants are encouraged to work with whichever tools they feel comfortable with, for example a smart phone. Participants who have experience and access to other cameras are also welcome to make use of these. Viewing materials for the course are subject to minor change.” (Text & photo by courtesy of Sophie Lee)
