Film and the Other Arts : Intermediality, Medium Specificity, Creativity

从一开始，电影就在与其兄弟艺术文学、戏剧、绘画、舞蹈、建筑和摄影的密切互动中发展，并在一定程度上相互竞争。虽然在过去的二十年里，学者们对电影与其他艺术之间的关系越来越感兴趣，但迄今为止的研究工作主要集中在电影与绘画以及电影与文学之间的特定界面上。该网络旨在为电影中介性研究（即电影与其他艺术之间的互动和交叉）提供新的方向，开辟新的研究领域和新的创作途径。它旨在通过一系列的四个研讨会和相关的知识交流/影响活动，促进不同人文学科（电影与媒体研究，媒体艺术与设计，艺术史，戏剧与表演，现代语言）和从业人员之间的对话和交流。研讨会将探讨电影引用、融合和重构其他艺术实践的多种方式，引发不同媒体之间的融合和交叉。将特别强调电影和其他艺术之间的渗透性，在前卫和实验性的做法和它的遗产在主流电影，以及技术在锻造电影和其他艺术之间的新的联系的作用。电影和其他艺术之间的边界交叉点是这个项目的中心，使我们能够重新审视有关电影媒介的特殊性的问题，这些问题在我们的数字，“后媒体”时代更加紧迫。通过让研究人员和从业者围绕这些问题进行对话，该网络旨在拓宽电影研究的传统视野，促进对电影被其他艺术塑造的方式的更好理解，并为反思电影作为不同艺术形式交叉和交流的“不纯”媒介的地位提供平台。透过介入新兴的中介性研究领域，激发跨学科的思考，该项目将适时介入关于不同艺术形式之间的关系和相互影响的更广泛的辩论。四个工作坊将通过邀请混合格式来尝试新颖的呈现和交流形式（结合简短的立场文件和探索性谈话、圆桌讨论会、基于讲习班前提交的文件的讨论小组、从业人员带插图的发言）。与此同时，还将举办一系列知识交流/影响活动，这些活动将侧重于策展产出，并使更广泛的公众参与网络的研究基础。该项目的研究结果将有利于对电影和其他艺术之间的关系感兴趣的研究人员在广泛的人文学科工作。该网络涉及三个外部合作伙伴，新开放的LUX苏格兰，爱丁堡电影院和阿伯里斯特威斯艺术中心，为前两个机构之间的未来合作开辟了可能性，并允许电影院和阿伯里斯特威斯艺术中心扩展其非主流作品的节目。

From its beginnings, cinema has developed in close interaction and, to a certain extent, rivalry with its sibling arts literature, the theatre, painting, dance, architecture and photography. Whilst, over the past two decades, scholars have become increasingly interested in the relations between film and the other arts, to date research efforts have concentrated mainly on specific interfaces notably between film and painting and film and literature. This network aims to offer a stimulus for new directions in the study of cinematic intermediality (that is, the interaction and crossing-over between cinema and the other arts), opening up new areas of research and new creative pathways. It intends to foster dialogue and exchange between researchers from different Humanities disciplines (Film and Media Studies, Media Arts and Design, History of Art, Theatre and Performance, Modern Languages) and practitioners through a series of four workshops and related knowledge exchange/ impact events. The workshops will examine the manifold ways in which the cinema references, incorporates and reframes other artistic practices, initiating fusions and cross-overs between different media. Particular emphasis will be given to the permeability between cinema and the other arts in avant-garde and experimental practice and its legacy in mainstream film, as well as to the role of technology in forging new connections between film and the other arts. The border-crossings between cinema and the other arts that are at the centre of this project allow us to revisit questions regarding the specificity of the cinematic medium, questions that are all the more pressing in our digital, 'post-media' age. By engaging researchers and practitioners in dialogue around these questions the network seeks to broaden the traditional horizon of film studies, fostering a better understanding of the ways in which cinema is shaped by the other arts and providing a platform for reflecting on film's status as an 'impure' medium where different art forms intersect and communicate. Inserting itself into the burgeoning field of intermediality studies, which is stimulating thinking across disciplines, the project will make a timely intervention in a more general debate about the relationship and cross-fertilisation between different art forms.The four workshops will experiment with novel forms of presentation and exchange by inviting a mixture of formats (combination of short position papers and exploratory talks, round table discussions, discussion groups based on papers submitted prior to the workshops, illustrated presentations by practitioners). They are accompanied by a series of knowledge exchange / impact events which will place emphasis on curatorial outputs and engage a wider public in the network's research base. The findings of the project will be beneficial to researchers interested in the relations between film and the other arts working in a broad range of Humanities disciplines. The network involves three external partners, the newly opened LUX Scotland, Filmhouse Edinburgh, and Aberystwyth Arts Centre, opening up possibilities for future collaborations between the first two institutions and allowing Filmhouse and the Aberystwyth Arts Centre to extend their programming of non-mainstream work.
