Crash Cinema 5

Symposium on Representation in Film

Crash Cinema has become a feature of the Bradford Film Festival, and a showcase of the co-operation between the Bradford School of Art, The National Museum of Photography Film and Television, and the University of Bradford. The symposium acknowledges the importance of the study of film for students undertaking postgraduate studies in visual representation as well as the cinematic arts – and for students of art & design, fine art, photography and media communication.

A special feature of Crash is that it encourages a wide variety of approaches to, and subject matter from, the world of film. There is always an emphasis at Crash on representation as an exciting means of unearthing political, social and cultural meanings as articulated through the art of film. Unlike prescribed film symposia, Crash seeks to provoke and stimulate – the post conference screening of a controversial film reinforces this key aspect.

Crash is supported by the superb facilities of the film department of the NMPFT and has occurred because the National Museum promotes the importance of film both as an academic study and for the critical appreciation of the informed public.
