(The talk will be held in English with live translation to Persian and will be recorded for future access.)

In this session from the Animation; Experiment series we will have the chance to talk to Laura U. Marks—one of the most renowned cinema scholars of our time—about her recent focus on small-footprint media while introducing the Small File Media Festival. SFMF, which is a film festival showing only films under 5 MB, was founded hoping to encourage mitigation of streaming media carbon footprint, which is calculated to be over 1% of our global carbon footprint. The collective of Animation; Experiment and New Media Society are not only interested in the idea of this festival for its valid environmental reasons, but they also found other potential fruits of the festival such as shaking the medium, emergence of new/familiar forms or ideas, and innovative visual aesthetics as important.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A. This session will be held in English, with Persian consecutive interpretation and recorded for the archive of Animation; Experiment and New Media Society. Somayeh Khakshoor from the Animation; Experiment collective will moderate this program.
