Screening Work Symposium

Screening Work Symposium

The third symposium of the German Screen Studies Network - entitled Screening Work - was hosted by the Department of German and Dutch from 9-11 July 2015. Organisers Annie Ring, Rafael Dernbach and Andrew Webber invited students, academics and interested members of the public to explore, through subtitled film screenings and talks, the changing depiction of work in German-language moving image culture.
Filmmaker Carmen Losmann attended the symposium and presented her award-winning film Work Hard Play Hard  (2012).
Distinguished speakers included the film theorist and critic Professor Gertrud Koch (Freie Universität Berlin), and Professor Annette Brauerhoch (University of Paderborn), co-editor of the feminist film journal frauen und film.
The event was generously funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Schröder Fund at University of Cambridge, with support from the Goethe-Institut.
