Veranstaltungsdaten

The international research network “New Directions in Film Historiography. Digital Tools and Methods in Film and Media Studies” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) explores how digital technologies shape our understanding of film and cinema history.

In order to analyze the epistemic, conceptual, and methodological frameworks of digital film historiography, the 15 network members bring together theory with practice. It is assumed that the challenges and potentials of digital technologies can best be understood in its far-reaching dimensions when both applied and critically reflected. Besides film and media studies, the researchers draw on approaches from various disciplines by spanning history, software studies, library and archive studies, and computer science.

The conference takes place November 17-19, 2022 at Sprachatlas, Philipps-Universität Marburg.

The conference is open to everyone interested in digital film historiography. Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. Please register via the Google form. The registration deadline is November 1, 2022.
