Lectorate FILM

We are pleased to introduce you to FILM as a shared space for inquiry, reflection, and debate.

This lectorate focuses on research in and through film in the broadest sense of the term, covering everything that moving images can be. It conducts, fosters and communicates research, with a particular interest to deepen the understanding and the practice of film as a discursive medium, as a form of thinking and arguing, as course and discourse. The lectorate serves as a meeting place for researchers, students, filmmakers and film enthusiasts. It stimulates researchers and students from KABK and KC to connect and exchange around the medium, and builds bridges to communities with similar interests at Leiden University.

FILM is led by lector Erik Viskil, who is affiliated with Leiden University as academic director of ACPA, and professor of Research and Discourse in Artistic Practice. He is also the chairman of PARC and co-director of ReCNTR, an interdisciplinary research centre aimed at advancing multimodal and audio-visual research methods in the social sciences and humanities. Coordinator of the lectorate is Georgie Brinkman, visual artist and filmmaker and alumna of the Master Artistic Research of KABK, where she also works as coordinator.
