SUMMARY:"Realism in cinema: when André Bazin and Andrey Zvyagintsev met by the river" Workshop
DESCRIPTION:<ul><li><strong>Organized by:</strong> CHS Greece</li><li><strong>Academic Coordination:</strong> <a href="https://philosophy.upatras.gr/en/staff/dep-staff/kontos-pavlos/">Pavlos Kontos</a> (Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Patras)</li><li><strong>Language:</strong> Greek</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Synopsis</h4><p>The workshop is part of the broader theme “Philosophy and Cinema” and, therefore, starts from a paradox: what is the relationship between philosophy as a science and cinema as art, and what do we mean today when we state that cinema is a sort of philosophy? This initial question will become more concrete and tangible in two stages: (1) The workshop will focus on André Bazin –whose contribution to film theory was decisive and is still today a point of reference– and his positing that cinema is genuine and true only insofar as it is "realistic." What does "realism (réalisme)" mean for Bazin? How resistant is his position to the critical objections raised by contemporary film theorists? (2) Based on this theoretical groundwork, we will "read" Andrey Zvyagintsev's great film The Return (Russia, 2003, 105').
