September

Alison Walsh, Barbara Mennel, and Loren Pilcher stand arm-in-arm in front of a wall of foliage. They are all smiling broadly.

Professor Barbara Mennel, graduate student Alison Walsh, and UF alum Loren Pilcher (University at Buffalo) presented on the panel ‘Labor’s Process: Theory and Documentary in Changing Media Ecologies’ at the Visible Evidence XXIX in Udine, Italy in September 2023. The panel also included Salomé Aguilera Skvirsky (University of Chicago). The presentations emerged in part from Dr. Mennel’s fall 2021 graduate seminar Studies in Film: 21st Century Film and Media Theory, in which graduate students read award-winning scholarship in film studies and interviewed scholars on zoom, including Dr. Aguilera Skvirsky, whose book The Process Genre: Cinema and the Aesthetics of Labor won the 2021 Best First Book Prize from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies.
