“Rise of the Machines” — Spiral Film and Philosophy Conference, May 23-24 2025

I am excited to announce that I will be giving the keynote lecture at the Spiral Film & Philosophy conference in May. I attended Spiral back before the pandemic, when Deborah Levitt gave the keynote, and I have been wanting to return ever since.

They’ve put together an excellent theme this year — please share the CFP widely!

Next month, May 16-18, I will be in Toronto, where I’ll give two talks:

First, on May 16, I’ll be talking about my book project Discorrelated Images at the Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto.

Then, on May 17, I will be giving a talk titled “Cinematic and Post-Cinematic Animation: Medium, Theme, Phenomenology” at the Spiral Film and Philosophy Conference (the theme of which is It’s Alive! Film/Form/Life). The full conference program is online, here: https://spiralfilmphilosophy.ca/program-2019/
