# Event Details - **Event Name**: Edinburgh Film Seminar: Kim Knowles - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 06 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 06 Nov, 2025 at 06:00 pm - **Event Description**: A in-person talk by Dr Kim Knowles (Aberystwyth University) titled 'Ecological Aesthetics in Experimental Film'.About this EventAbout the eventThe recent growth of eco cinema studies demonstrates a notable shift in the way that film is understood within the context of environmental destruction, climate change and the relationship between the human and the more-than-human. Film Studies, like most scholarly disciplines, has seen an explosion of interest in modes of ecological representation, yet one of the most fertile fields of creative activity - experimental filmmaking - is consistently overlooked.In this presentation, Dr Knowles will briefly map out the contours of experimental cinema before outlining how it resonates particularly with strands of eco philosophy (Timothy Morton) and post humanism (Karen Barad, Rosi Braidotti). Her central argument is that non-narrative, non-conventional and poetic forms of moving image production are essential for thinking beyond the human in the realms of film aesthetics.This talk will draw on a range of contemporary examples, including films by Daïchi Saïto, Alexandre Larose, Johann Lurf and Malena Szlam.About the speakerKim Knowles is Senior Lecturer in Alternative and Experimental Film at Aberystwyth University. She leads the MA in Documentary Filmmaking: Landscape and Ecology and is Director of the Centre for Material Thinking. Her current research focuses on experimental film aesthetics in the context of non-human representation.She has published widely on experimental cinema, including the monograph Experimental Film and Photochemical Practices (2020) and the edited collection The Palgrave Handbook of Experimental Cinema (2024). She is also co-editor (with Marion Schmid) of Cinematic Intermediality: Theory and Practice (2021).About the Edinburgh Film SeminarsEach semester, the Edinburgh Film Seminars bring a broad range of film academics and experts to the University of Edinburgh. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/edinburgh-film-seminar-kim-knowles/100001857542693199 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fedinburgh-film-seminar-kim-knowles-tickets-1857542693199 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: 1.06 Project Room, 50 George Square - **lat**: 55.9438048 - **long**: -3.187049 - **full address**: 1.06 Project Room, 50 George Square, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (https://allevents.in/org/school-of-literatures-languages-and-cultures/22519840) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d339e88a83324902ca0c3203026715e6c72062cdf5d5066aee5fe16f92a9e07c-rimg-w1200-h600-dc91754c-gmir.jpg?v=1762153876 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d4193a4e88e610e016e0ca190afe57cac5ca4e7eaa6f1cb0364ab7d60601cbcd-rimg-w400-h400-dc8f744c-gmir.jpg?v=1762153875 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 06 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 1.06 Project Room, 50 George Square, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** entertainment, workshops - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Edinburgh Film Seminar: Kim Knowles ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Edinburgh Film Seminar: Kim Knowles", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d339e88a83324902ca0c3203026715e6c72062cdf5d5066aee5fe16f92a9e07c-rimg-w1200-h600-dc91754c-gmir.jpg?v=1762153876", "startDate": "2025-11-06", "endDate": "2025-11-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/edinburgh/edinburgh-film-seminar-kim-knowles/100001857542693199", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "1.06 Project Room, 50 George Square", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "University of Edinburgh", "postalCode": "EH8 9LH", "addressLocality": "Edinburgh", "addressRegion": "SC", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "55.9438048", "longitude": "-3.187049" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A in-person talk by Dr Kim Knowles (Aberystwyth University) titled 'Ecological Aesthetics in Experimental Film'.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-06", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/edinburgh/edinburgh-film-seminar-kim-knowles/100001857542693199" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/edinburgh/edinburgh-film-seminar-kim-knowles/100001857542693199", "price": 0, "name": "Edinburgh Film Seminar: Kim Knowles" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "School of Literatures Languages and Cultures", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/school-of-literatures-languages-and-cultures/22519840", "description": "Based in the heart of the University of Edinburgh, the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) brings together a truly international community of students, teachers and researchers engaged in a range of programmes across eight key subject areas." } ] } ] ```
