This second part of the All That We Witness program entitled Cinematic Transformations from the Global South holds a series of events that engage the concept of cinema and its role through film practices and productions from the Global South. The program seeks to revisit the meanings and forms of cinematic expression from a perspective that moves beyond the dominant global system shaping film production and circulation, and the formal and thematic frameworks they often impose. The program includes talks and study sessions, alongside a film screening program and collective discussions.
