I’m in Munich at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München), where I’m participating in a workshop called Moving Environments: Affect, Emotion, and Ecocinema. The workshop has been convened by Center associates Alexa Weik von Mossner and Arielle Helmick, and features some leading figures in the fields of ecocinema studies (a.k.a. cine-ecocriticism) and the study of affect and emotion in film and visual culture. Since I’ve been asked by a few people to blog about it, I thought I might try my hand at live-blogging. Unfortunately a computer mishap yesterday and some online issues this morning have set me back with those goals, but I’ll share what I can, when I can.
Not “live” after all, but a summary of the day will be posted soon.
Does the musicality or scoring of a film affects the emotions of the viewer?
Yes because when you’re watching the film you’re not just focused on the film you’re also focused on how the music is making you feel. gamerqna.org
The workshop was great. Greets from München
