Patricia R. Zimmermann, Charles A. Dana Professor of Screen Studies and Director of the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival, has been named to the Organizing and Curatorial Committee for the Interactive Film and Media Conference, an international gathering of scholars, makers, artists, and designers who analyze and work in new media and emerging platforms.
The Interactive Film and Media Conference will be held June 7-9, 2023. This year’s theme is Care, Collaboration, Craft.
The annual Interactive Film and Media Conference invites abstracts that explore, interrogate, interweave, unravel, and reinvent the dynamic relationships between care, collaboration, and craft across new media platforms, practices, and theories.
This nexus of care, collaboration, and craft has emerged as a fertile ground for thinking through the crucial yet unresolved work of combatting polarization with multiple voices, plural practices, and new ways of working together to invent shared languages and ideas.
The conference invites participants to think about these three axes–care, collaboration, craft –whose definitions and relationships are not fixed, but fluid and adaptive.
