Planet as Mis-en-Scene: Nonfiction Cinema and the Ecological Sublime

Filmmaker and scholar Shaunak Sen deconstructs the aesthetics and politics of his film, All That Breathes (2022). In the course of a multimedia lecture, he embeds his theory and practice within an emerging genre of “slow” nonfiction cinema that seeks to engage with the ecological sublime on a planetary scale.

About This Series

This event is part of the
Laboratory for Oral History and Experimental Media Spring 2024 series. 

This new series of monthly institute-wide meetings begins a collective exploration of the theory and practice of oral history and ethnography as powerful, multimodal research methods for recovering perspectives and experiences that are often absent from traditional archives. Together, we will engage with diverse forms of research and communication across a range of media and visit local sites of interest.
