Centre for Film and Ethics

Description

The Centre for Film and Ethics facilitates interdisciplinary practice-based and theoretical work involving ethics in the context of moving image research.

The centre operates as an international hub for exploring the interaction between film and ethics, in light of both traditional questions of moral philosophy and the complexities of the contemporary ethical landscape.

The Centre aims are:

• To provide a focus and framework for expertise in moving image culture and ethics and its range of applications (practice, theory, aesthetics, history, memory and so forth).
• To cultivate a research environment where, in the context of ethics, there is a dialogue between film practice (documentary, film essay, artists’ moving image and fiction) and film theory.
• To attract and support research collaborations between film and the disciplines of law, medicine, drama, business, history, geography, and politics where ethics is variously treated, in order to think of ethics as a multi-faceted phenomenon.
• To open up new avenues of collaborative practice with cultural institutions such as museums, archives, cinemas, arts centres, galleries, festivals, NGOs, charities, community groups, policy bodies and internal QM research centres.
• To develop pedagogy around film and ethics appropriate to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
• To attract accomplished doctoral projects and postdoctoral researchers working in the field of film and ethics.
• To build grant capacity by supporting activities and developing seed funding through the workshopping of new ideas to lead to successful grant applications.
