Symposium “Space, Time, and the Visceral in SEA Cinemas”

From 2016 to 2018, the Association for Southeast Asian Cinemas extends its biennial conferences with a series of workshops designed to facilitate dialogue across critical and creative practices. Beginning with a conference held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in July 2016, the network brings together filmmakers, scholars, students, and the general public in subsequent events in Los Angeles, California, Hanoi, Vietnam, and Glasgow, Scotland. The symposium “Space, Time, and the Visceral in SEA Cinemas” is organized by the Southeast Asian Cinemas Research network (), in collaboration with Hanoi DocLab for its Hanoi edition; sponsored by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (UK) and the University of St. Andrew (Scotland). It is part of the ĐôcPhêt Moving Image Festival 2017.
Hanoi ĐốcPhết – a whole week-long naughty-cousin’d programme running in multiple venues across the city in parallel to the core DocFest happenings at the Goethe-Institut. Beyond structural changes and unencumbered of institutional pressures, ĐốcPhết constitutes an exploration of DocLab’s future avenues, in which there might exist yet a larger role to play for grass-root, collective action.
Speakers: Mariam Lam (U.S.), Síu Phạm (Vietnam/Switzerland), Philippa Lovatt (Scotland), Gaik Khoo (Malaysia), Jasmine Trice (U.S.), Hitomi Hasegawa (Japan), Sow-Yee Au (Malaysia/Taiwan), Davide Cazzaro, Merv Espina (Philippines), Thaiddhi (Myanmar), Marc Gloede (Germany/Singapore), Trần Ngọc Hiếu (Vietnam), Trương Minh Quý (Vietnam), Nguyễn Trinh Thi (Vietnam), Trần Duy Hưng (Vietnam), Trương Quế Chi (Vietnam)
