CEU Fall Film & Audio Showcase

Join us in celebrating the beginning of a new academic year with this program featuring some of the best film and audio projects produced by CEU student last year, which screened in last Spring’s CEU DOCS film screening and audio showcase event. The film screening will take place in D-002 on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at 18.00

These works were produced in both and MA- and BA-level production courses that are part of the MA Advanced Certificate in Visual Theory and Practice (VTP), and Visual Theory and Practice Major in the Culture Politics & Society BA program. The courses are supported and facilitated by the resources and expertise of the CEU Library’s Media Hub. For new students, this is a great chance to learn about the activities and resources of the Visual Studies Platform (VSP) and the Media Hub.

The program highlights how students from a range of departments and programs across the University are using film and audio to engage with the knowledge of their particular subject area and communicate that knowledge via a visual/aural medium. The event entails approximately 45 minutes of screening, which will be followed by a Q&A with some of the filmmakers. 

This annual showcase is the first in a series of events hosted by the Visual Studies Platform throughout the year, which include screenings, workshops, and guest presentations that engage with the exhibition, analysis, and discussion of visual and aural media.
