Special issue: Mapping Artistic Research

Drawing from the GEECT conference in January 2020 on Artistic Research and Film Practice this special issue is an entrée that maps out some of the artistic research being conducted at various film schools, primarily across Europe. The papers provide examples of transdisciplinary approaches and methods in technology, pedagogy, representational politics and aesthetic enquiries in film practices. The development of a film research environment is essential to creating a film research culture and this objective is captured by the breath and scope of the practices with, in and through film and contributes to the on-going debates about the relevance and impact of artistic research.
