Film Festivals: Borders, Identities, Solidarities

Event details

Film Festivals: Borders, Identities, Solidarities is an international symposium that I founded to examine to examine the intersections of film festivals with questions of border divisions and collaborations, identity formation and solidarity practices.

The first edition, held at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (November 4–6, 2024), brought together 32 international scholars and industry professionals. Discussions focused on film festivals not only as sites of cinematic representation, but as active agents capable of fostering solidarities in contexts of political and social upheavals and civil rights movements.
