Besides the Screen is an international research network active since 2010,
involving participants from the UK, Mexico and Brazil. It means to
investigate the continuing development of audiovisual practices from a
materialistic perspective, deploying artistic and unorthodox methodologies
in the context of cinema studies. Its ever-expanding constellation of
topics revolves around techniques of projection, the centrality of marginal
processes, and the manifold systems of movie storage and transmission.
Information about previous events can be found at http://bts.re.

This event is supported by the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação e
Territorialidades/UFES, Mundo em Rede/PUC-SP, LAICA/USP, FAPESP and the UK
Arts & Humanities Research Council.
