What we look forward to during the fall, among other things, is a series of lectures on environmental issues and challenges in East and South-East Asia. We start this off with a lecture on Asian ecocinema with Professor Kiu-Wai Chu. We also plan a film festival on environmental issues to be held on 23-24 September.

Webinar with Kiu-wai Chu, Assistant Professor in Environmental Humanities/ Chinese Studies, School of Humanities, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
This presentation aims to offer a quick introduction to ecocinema studies in global Asian contexts. It categorizes ecocinema into three major modes: deep ecology film; environmentalist film; and perception training eco-film. Highlighting the significance of the documentary genre, it will illustrate the diverse environmental imaginations ecocritical films could offer, in this epoch we call the Anthropocene.
