by Catherine Grant (Digital Media and Screen Studies, Birkbeck)

In this illustrated talk, Catherine Grant will explore the emergence of the audiovisual essay in screen studies, focusing on her own creative/critical "material thinking" research as a video editor, a curator, a publisher and a theorist of such videos. She will also discuss the issues that arise with such work in educational contexts in relation to technology, skills and Fair Dealing/copyright. And she will set out her basic workflow and techniques in conducting her audiovisual essay research.
