New Cinema Forum at Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival

Viviane Saglier will facilitate a conversation between filmmaker Philip Rizk and artist and researcher Omar Hmidat on "Thinking Through Practice" at the Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival's New Forum section on Thursday 27th March.

At a moment of generative reciprocity between the arts and academia, research-based practice has gone beyond traditional circumscribed territories – developing research that might be practically undertaken, presented and engaged with anew. This conversation with artists and researchers considers the formal and structural nature of research-based practice, how it finds a place in the world and where it stands in relation to the two institutions it straddles.
