The Bournemouth Film School (BFS), Arts University Bournemouth, and the Laboratory for Semiotics, Ethnosemiotics, Nonfictional Studies and Audiovisuality (SENSA Lab), University College Cork, invite scholars, researchers, screenwriters, filmmakers, and artists to participate in the joint Conference-Festival entitled:
Times In-Between 2025
Permeable Walls and Insurmountable Barriers
to be held with the support and collaboration of the historical city of Trieste (Italy) and the patronage of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies, the Screenwriting Research Network, and the Society of Authors. This event combines an international conference with a film festival in the city where the Iron Curtain descended, as Churchill proclaimed in 1946, and was lifted in 1991, as where the Iron Curtain once pulsated now its memory and traces are mixed with the rhythms and issues of new times!
Walls and barriers have taken on different names and connotations over time, and if walls become permeable, other barriers remain insurmountable. We invite scholars and artists to gather and discuss permeable walls and insurmountable barriers as portrayed, contested, and reflected upon in the essay film form and linked expressions.
The event is an important international showcase structured to combine a conference and a festival of short films by auteurs worldwide. To the benefit of all, the format is collaborative, collegial, and enables the exchange of insights, research findings, and opinions on relevant issues and works.
