OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for a panel discussion with renowned Sri Lankan Italian director Suranga D. Katugampala to explore his latest feature film Still Here (2023). Shot between Colombo and Milan, the film bridges genres of neo-noir, documentary, and video art, and brings together a group of artists into multidisciplinary experimentation practices. In the film, reality and fantasy merge, throwing the spatial coordinates of migration into question. We will show brief excerpts from the film and respond to the themes of migration and transnational communities which emerge from it with expert discussants Dr Shamara Wettimuny and Prof Derek Duncan. The discussion will be moderated by Prof Emma Bond who is also the event co-organiser.
