Filmmaking as Research
Screening Memories
Introduction
This book examines the challenges often experienced by film practitioners who find themselves researching within the academy, either as students or academics. In light of this the author presents her own journey from practitioner to researcher as a lens. Her practice- based research has been a quest to revision memories, by creating filmic images that elicit memory and remembering.
Methods and Platforms
In so doing she has used a range of platforms: multi- screen video installation, still- framing the moving image and remixing found footage. Central to this research has been the importance of family storytelling and sharing, the relationship of the visual and memory, the agency of nostalgia and the role of aura, particularly evident in the re-appropriating of super 8 home movies into a variety of forms.
Key Themes
Important to this is has been the relationship of the viewer and the viewed in particular the role of an immersive environment of viewing.
