The event meant to gather research projects focused on an apparently<br \/>\nsecondary subject in the field of screen studies: the instances of film distribution and<br \/>\nconsumption. By that time, it already seemed important to promote debates around these topics,<br \/>\nconsidering that some of the most meaningful effects caused by computer networks on<br \/>\naudiovisual media are connected not to image production, but rather to the emergence of new<br \/>\ndynamics of circulation \u2013 from peer\u00ad to \u00adpeer filesharing to mobile screens, from VJing to<br \/>\nvideo\u00ad on\u00ad demand.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday 20th July 2016<br \/>\nEllen Terry Building, Coventry University<\/p>\n<p>14:30 \u00ad Coffee and Registration (Foyer, Ellen Terry Building)<br \/>\n15:00 \u00ad Conference Welcome (ET101)<br \/>\n15:15 \u00ad 16:45: Panel 1 (ET101)<br \/>\n17:00 \u00ad 18:30: KEYNOTE \u00ad Charlotte Brunsdon &amp; The Projection Project (ET101)<\/p>\n<p>\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad18:30 \u00ad 19.30: Break\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad<\/p>\n<p>19:30 \u00ad Exhibition opening and music from Accelra @ The Box, FarGo Village<\/p>\n<p>Thursday 21st July 2016<br \/>\nEllen Terry Building, Coventry University<\/p>\n<p>10:00 \u00ad 11:30: Panel 2 (ET101)<br \/>\n11:30 \u00ad 12:00: COFFEE<br \/>\n12:00 \u00ad 13:30: Panel 3 (ET101)<br \/>\n13:30 \u00ad 14:30: LUNCH<br \/>\n14:30 \u00ad 16:00: Panel 4 (ET101)<br \/>\n16:30 \u00ad 17:30: Performance (Ricardo Carioba) (ETG34)<\/p>\n<p>\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad17:30 \u00ad 18.00: Break\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad<\/p>\n<p>18:00 \u00ad Leafcutter John (Performance &amp; Q&amp;A) @ The Box, FarGo Village<\/p>\n<p>Fri 22 (Ellen Terry Building)<br \/>\nEllen Terry Building, Coventry University<\/p>\n<p>10:00 \u00ad 11:30: Panel 5 (ET101)<br \/>\n11:30 \u00ad 12:00: COFFEE (Foyer)<br \/>\n12:00 \u00ad 13:30: PANEL 6<br \/>\n13:30 \u00ad 14:30: LUNCH (Foyer)<br \/>\n14:30 \u00ad 16:00: KEYNOTE \u00ad Nelson Brissac (ET101)<br \/>\n18:00 \u00ad Performance (mirella &amp; muep) (ETG34)<br \/>\n20:00 \u00ad Close<\/p>\n<p>Keynotes<\/p>\n<p>Projection, the Moving Image and the Transition to Digital<br \/>\nCharlotte Brunsdon, Michael Pigott and Richard Wallace<br \/>\nThis plenary session will be presented by Charlotte Brunsdon, Michael Pigott and Richard<br \/>\nWallace who are working together on the AHRC\u00adfunded Projection Project (2014\u00ad18). This<br \/>\nmulti\u00admethod project takes projection as its starting point in an exploration of cinema\u2019s transition<br \/>\nto digital. In this presentation we will outline some of the premises of the project, and present<br \/>\nfindings which range from interviews with former projectionists to sounds from the projection<br \/>\nbox. Our project includes archival and oral history research into the neglected history of the<br \/>\ncinema projectionist through which we challenge the primacy of the image in theorisations of<br \/>\ncinematic specificity, revealing in contrast the role of hidden labours of cinema exhibition. While<br \/>\nwe are attentive to the human cost of the transition to digital in terms of redundancies and<br \/>\nredeployments, we are also concerned with the new possibilities of the emergent uses of digital<br \/>\nprojection outside of the cinema space. Here we attend to practices \u2013 such as projection<br \/>\nmapping \u00ad enabled by the portability and flexibility of digital projectors, and situate them within a<br \/>\nlong history of projection. By investigating the role of outdoor projection as a means of both<br \/>\nadvertising and protest, as well as the figure of the nightclub VJ, the project seeks to identify<br \/>\ncontinuities and differences that pertain within the extra\u00adcinematic everyday uses of moving<br \/>\nimage projection. As a multi\u00adpart presentation we will seek to give a sense of both what is<br \/>\nhidden and lost in the projection box, and what is imagined outside it in a wide range of venues<br \/>\nand practices.<br \/>\nProfessor Charlotte Brunsdon has been Principal Investigator of the Projection Project. Her<br \/>\nmost recent research had been concerned with the spaces of film and television and she has<br \/>\njust completed a book on T<br \/>\nelevision Cities t o be published by Duke University Press in 2017.<br \/>\nDr Michael Pigott is co\u00adinvestigator on The Projection Project and author of J oseph Cornell<br \/>\nversus Cinema (2013).
