From May 5 to May 7, this symposium will take place at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Coordinated by Susana Viegas (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa) and David Ferragut (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), the event is structured into three sessions.
The first session features a screening of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957), a film that explicitly reflects on death.
The following two sessions will host specialists offering new perspectives on the topic. These sessions are divided into four panels: two panels explore the relationship between death and cinema, and two additional panels focus on parallel activities of the project. These include animated cinema, for which two workshops have been organized, and non-human cinema, which examines the disappearance of the human being in the image or as a central theme.
Each session will begin with a keynote talk to provide a broader framework for the discussions.
The presentations will be held in Catalan, Spanish, and English, followed by a brief Q&A session. All are welcome! For more details, abstracts, and the full program (in Spanish), here.
The event is open to all. UAB students requiring a certificate of participation should register until May 1 here: deatheyesuab@gmail.com.
