Challenging the Bystander Effect via documentary film

这个项目旨在挑战旁观者效应。20世纪60年代的社会实验已经确立了这样一种观点，即在公共紧急情况下，我们不能采取行动防止对他人的伤害。电影在推广这一理论方面发挥了重要作用。利用一种创新的屏幕表演方法，该项目可能会产生关于旁观者如何协调他们的行动以安全干预的知识；它将产生一部创新和通俗易懂的纪录片。该项目有能力帮助减少公共场所的暴力行为，并在面对紧急情况时作出更有效的反应。

This project aims to challenge the Bystander Effect. Social experiments from the 1960s have entrenched the view that in groups we fail to act to prevent harm to others in public emergencies. Film has played a significant role in promoting this theory. Drawing on an innovative screen performance method, this project is likely to generate knowledge about how bystanders can co-ordinate their actions to safely intervene; it will result in an innovative and accessible documentary. The project has the capacity to contribute to a reduction of violence in public spaces and more effective responses in the face of emergencies.
