3rd Annual Graduate Student Conference

Stony Brook University, The State University of New York

Stony Brook Manhattan Campus | Saturday October 13th, 2012

Keynote Lecture by: Prof. Una Chaudhuri, NYU

GLOBAL LIVES

The rapid changes currently experienced in the different spheres of contemporary life are loosely addressed by the term “globalization.” We are seeking short film submissions that explore the topic in terms of the issues, experiences and narratives of groups and individuals as they are faced with the unique challenges and possibilities of living in a global world.

We are interested in classic and experimental narratives, documentary, fiction and animation, in traditional film genres as well as alternative aesthetic modes. Works addressing non-Western themes, as well as minority and marginalized communities especially wanted. All submissions must be under 15 minutes (shorter works preferred).

The GLOBAL LIVES conference will attempt to explore some of the many aspects of this globalized view of culture, as well as other aspects of global lives, economical, political or other. We seek to engage contributions from a wide range of disciplines to bring together the different theories and perspectives of globalization in order to articulate the diverse experiences of living in a globalized world. The short film program will form an integral part of our graduate conference, to be held at our Manhattan Campus on Saturday October 13th, 2012.

Filmmakers interested in submitting their short film/video should use Dropbox (“Cultural Analysis and Theory”) and email us with film title, 2-3 sentence bio and contact information to catgradconf@gmail.com by September 1, 2012.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho. The Viswanath temple built in 999 AD is right in front, less than 20 meters from Last Ship. Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
