Centre for Creative Industries, Media and Screen Studies

Description

The Centre for Creative Industries, Media and Screen Studies is an interdisciplinary research centre that focuses on the dynamic relationships among cultural production, aesthetics, ethics and cultural economies in local and global contexts, with a particular focus on film and screen cultures.

The Centre's approach combines an interest in analysing the creative texts and contexts of media with an emphasis on stimulating productive dialogue among theorists, practitioners and artistic researchers. The Centre combines a sensitivity to the specific conditions of cultural production in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and among their diasporas with the desire to explore the consequences of the global reach of art, media and culture in the digital era.

From discussion of cultural production and circulation across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, to screenings of contemporary independent films followed by Q and As with filmmakers, to panel debates about the diversity of cultural industries, the Centre aims to serve as an ideas lab, a centre for the development and dissemination of world-leading research, and a hub for those committed to critically and culturally informed perspectives on film and the creative industries.

The Centre is committed to interrogating and moving beyond the historical hegemonies of the Euro-American creative industries, and to foregrounding the work of those who are engaged in this transformational and inspiring work.
