Histories of Tacit Cinematic Knowledge

The online conference took place from September 24 to September 26, 2020, in the virtual space of the Goethe University Frankfurt. It was also the final conference of the first cohort of PhD students at the Graduate Research Training Program 2279 “Configurations of Film.” This webpage provides access to the pre-recorded talks and keynotes, which, drawing on the notion of tacit cinematic knowledge, explored the groundwork for theorizing implicit epistemic templates configured by film forms and techniques.
