May 21, 2009

The Academic Film Competition Committee is holding an "Academic Film" visual media competition. We will accept visual works from a wide variety of genres which contribute to academic research in either the literary or scientific fields. Works on themes such as outer space and the environment, films on wildlife, ethnographic and anthropological film works, documentaries in sociology and cultural studies, psychology and medical science and practice, are acceptable. Also, the submitted works will be screened at the Kyoto University Academic Film Expo 2009 [from 5th August to 10th December. 2009] and discussed at the Kyoto University International Symposium 2009 "New Horizons of Academic Visual-Media Practices" [11-13th December. 2009]. Through this experiment, we expect to stimulate vibrant discussion concerning what visual media means for academic research, in what ways "Academic Films" are different to other films, and such topics related to academism and visual media.
