The conference Besides the Screen 2020 @ <span>ISMAI</span>
(Instituto Universitário da Maia), participates in a series of events
celebrating ten years of the Besides the Screen research network
throughout 2020. Besides the Screen is an international research network
on
the subject of experimental audiovisual media. It aims to reconfigure
the field of screen studies by refocusing it on the seemingly secondary
objects, processes, and practices that exist ‘besides’ cinema. Besides
the Screen also means to promote an open and
horizontal academic environment, favouring practice-based approaches to
research and artistic collaborations. Over these ten years, the
conference has had as its themes: graphic intelligences and algorithmic
fictions; vaults, archives, clouds and platforms;
unfolding images, VR, volumetric filmmaking and spatial control;
Curatorial methods and materials; piracy and distribution, among others.<br>
<br>
The Besides the Screen 2020 @ <span>ISMAI</span> Conference

methodologies and stimulate the debates on materialities, networks,
remediation, migration of/within audiovisual media.<br>
