"In this presentation, we look forward to sharing our work in digitizing and researching global movie magazines as part of the 'Globalizing and Enhancing the Media History Digital Library' initiative, funded by an ACLS Digital Extension Grant. While movie magazines are frequently cited as sources, they are far less often centered as the objects of study. By analyzing specific magazines such as Pour Vous, Cinéma 55, and Gente de Cine for their hybridity and heterogeneity, and by situating these publications globally as part of an exchange of information and ideas about cinema, our work seeks to reframe and expand our field’s understanding of historic movie magazines."

Moving closer to the ground, getting to the bottom of things, looking and hearing with precision, perceiving what’s happening close by, oft-unnoticed: these are the ideas that inform the 17th edition of Forum Expanded and the selection of films, installations and performances that will be presented as part of the Berlinale.

In this special joint Modern Mondays/To Save and Project screening, Christopher Harris presents the world premiere of his 2000/01 film still/here in a new digital restoration by the Academy Film Archive, together with his own newly conceived selection of work by filmmakers and artists who have inspired him.
