Our Cinema and Media Studies doctoral student, Harrison Wade, will give his presentation on “Composing Dreams: Anti-Realist CGI in Tetro and Twixt” at the annual conference of the Film Studies Association of Canada. Registration is free.
Harrison will analyze digital compositions in Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro (2009) and Twixt (2011) that combine performers with animated spaces. Unlike the usual spectacular use of CGI, this expressive potential of CGI as media is undertheorized. His presentation works through how the digital can move and feel with other art forms.
Read more about Harrison on our website. He has written on archive affect, digital materiality, phenomenology, feminist machinima, and YouTube. He writes poetry and makes essay films.
