Philosophy of Film (PoF)

The Philosophy of Film reading group, a joint venture of LOGOS, Valencia Philosophy Lab and the Aesthetic and Theory of Arts Murcia group (https://vlclab.blogs.uv.es/the-philosophy-of-film/), will be held online on the last Friday every month from 17:00 to 19:00. 

Exceptionally, the first online meeting will be on Friday, 23 October. We plan to discuss chapters that discuss films in books by Robert Pippin, George Wilson, Robin Wood and others, after having watched the films on our own.

For the first meeting on October 23rd, we'll discuss Robert Pippin's commentary on Hitchcock's 1954 Rear Window, chapter 2 of his 2020 book Filmed Thought.

If you are interested in joining us, please send me an email off-list by 8th of October. I will send you a Zoom link and Pippin's chapter.
