What is this about?

The BRAFFTV Film and Media International Conference was created with the purpose of introducing an educational space within the festival where researchers and practitioners can discuss and present their research and work in film and media. With this purpose, BRAFFTV is partnering with universities and establishing a space for integration between the academia and the festival that aims to forge a valuable exchange between researchers, students, professionals and the community.

The conference discussions will be focused on film, media and social engagement in the digital age. The goal is to propose a broad debate, emphasizing the need to evaluate the increasing use of digital screens in contemporary society and how people and countries are dealing with their own image, identity and digital cultural space artistically, socially and politically.

Film and media practitioners and educators have been expanding the use of digital media through new experiences with unusual and innovative technical and artistic approaches. At the same time, researchers and academics are questioning and analyzing these new practices, which are increasingly dominating global society.

The way in which people and countries are dealing with the advent of new technologies reflects social issues and makes us deepen the debate on matters such as our own identity and the state of research conducted in these countries.

How are countries acting in face of these new phenomena? Does globalization standardize the use of new media? How are the countries reacting?

Who are the presenters?

Professors, researchers and practitioners (artists, filmmakers and videomakers) from all areas from several countries from four continents, including Brazil, Canada, Nigeria, England, Scotland, India, Pakistan, Sweden, and the United States.

The list of all presenters is below of this page. The program will be available shortly.
