Talks & Workshops

The 2022 Talks & Workshops programme featured 17 events, many developed and presented in collaboration with organisations such as LUX, Matchbox Cineclub, Birds’ Eye View, Doc Society and Film in Mind. Highlights included a keynote talk by Dr. Steve Presence and the Ian White Lecture 2022 with Moyra Davey. Across the programme, over 60 speakers – including featured filmmakers such as Alexandra Cuesta, Robert Beavers, Jonathan Perel, Ruth Beckermann, Tiffany Sia, Teresa A. Braggs, Morgan Quaintance and Elisabeth Subrin – shared their insights and experience.

The “Counter-Archives” series of discussions and presentations proposed expansive ways of thinking about the “archive”, considering not just the films themselves but also questions of labour, reparation, and imagination. This included sessions across the week with Annabelle Aventurin & Léa Morin (Non-Aligned Archives), George Clark & An Viêt Foundation, the Cinenova Working Group, Pablo La Parra, the Sam the Wheels project, Tiffany Sia, the Temenos Archive, and Bo Wang, amongst others.

For the second year running, the Critics Workshop developed with the Another Gaze editorial team offered an intensive introduction to the ethics and methodologies of feminist and militant film criticism for 11 selected participants. Hosted by Daniella Shreir, guest speakers included Missouri Williams, Georgie Carr, Laura Staab, Morgan Quaintance, Elena Gorfinkel, Alice Spawls, Rebecca Liu, Simran Hans, and Caitlín Doherty.
