„Finally, an all-day workshop on Re-Mediating Cinematic Experience (organized by Kristina Pia Hofer, Eva Kernbauer and Marietta Kesting) took place on Friday within the research project A Matter of Historicity, focusing on the event character of cinema. Giuliana Bruno, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies, Harvard University, gave a lecture on the often-neglected material dimension of cinema, its surfaces and screens of projection throughout history. Erica Balsom, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies and Liberal Arts, King’s College, London, discussed the implications of the “liveness” and irreproducibility of a cinematic event. Volker Pantenburg, Professor of Film Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, explored questions of analogue and digital film formats in museums and gallery spaces. The Autumn School closed with a performance by the Danish art collective Vinylterrorandhorror (Camilla Soerensen and Greta Christensen), playing, breaking and re-assembling bits and pieces of LP records – and thus allowing the audience to almost painfully experience the materiality of music and performance art.“
