We are two hours away from starting day 2 of Moving/Pictures and we're already all set up! 3 fantastic hybrid panels of Graduate media scholars and an extremely exciting keynote with Haidee Wasson!
To conclude our first panel, Chuanhui Meng of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities argues that Cold War-era “genre internationalism” engendered categories as the ethnic minority musical and documentary art film, which served as “tools for the construction of socialist China”
Pitt’s own Chi-Tsung Chang discusses the cultural references in the Taiwanese release’s subtitles of EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE as part of a distributed notion of authorship, “granting translators the same discursive privilege” traditionally given to directors and writers
Our first panelist, University of Iowa’s Dana Alston, discusses the “broader veil of authority” of A24 as well as the transmutability of its logo, itself a “commodifying tool of brand ideation”
David Pettersen, Director of the Program in Film and Media Studies, reflects on such delights as 16mm film libraries and MST3K while also thanking the various individuals and institutions that made this conference possible
