Keynote speaker: Prof. Hamid Naficy (Northwestern)
This one-day conference brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the work of Iranian filmmaker Sohrab Shahid Saless as a conduit for a wider engagement with exiled and displaced moving image practitioners: their ethics, aesthetics, modes of production as well as their precarious lives and often uncertain legacy today.

Gütermann (Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Film, History and Society, Austria) and Pierre d'Alancaisez (Waterside Contemporary, UK).
