Re-Vision: Ethical Futures Moving Image Network

The Re-Vision: Ethical Futures Moving Image Network brings together stakeholders, industry, practitioners and scholars working at the intersection of the moving image culture to identify gaps and propose actionable solutions when engaging with vulnerable groups and environments.

Re-Vision will explore a variety of approaches and debates from practice, industry and academia to help foster inclusive, accountable and sustainable production and exhibition practices in Australian contemporary moving image culture. It does this by identifying gaps and best practices to promote inclusive representation, equitable practice and sustainable relationships with at-risk environments and minority social groups.

External partners include Composite: Moving Image Agency & Media Bank.

Themes

The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network. Members may work in several of these areas.

Ethics and power imbalances: The role of experimentation, collaboration and impact

Focuses on how experimental approaches, digital technologies and expanded documentary modes can facilitate new approaches to address issues of unequal power relations between filmmakers, participants and audiences.

Transforming Indigenous-settler relations in Australian screen cultures

Seeks to understand how settler filmmakers from across the creative industries can build equity into projects by identifying colonising practices and facilitating respectful filmmaking involving Indigenous cultural heritage.
