Studentski Grad Cultural Center, Tuesday, September 22 — Lecture: “Film Images, Functions and Forms of the Image in Civilization”

Gordana Smuđa, a dramaturge and film theorist, explores the film image and its place in civilization — from visual communication and iconic signs to the ways an image creates meaning far beyond language. In the small hall, the discussion opens up questions about how we read the world through images, how the relationship between an image and what it represents is formed, and why the history of visual thought is older than cinema itself. This lecture will especially appeal to audiences interested in film, image theory, semiology, and the wider cultural context of moving images.
