Tuesday, November 25, at the Carrefour des arts et des sciences, Université de Montréal
In a world where screens occupy an omnipresent place, it has become imperative to understand the functions and potential benefits of the cinematic experience among different population groups. This requires the implementation of a theoretical, historical, and empirical approach to audiovisual content. It also involves exploring, from an intersectoral perspective, the underlying principles that structure these experiences—such as rhythm, image, and sound.
This conference aims to examine methods for studying cinematic experiences in an ecological and scientific way:
- Ecological, because they must reflect real viewing situations, outside standardized experimental setups;
- Scientific, because they must make it possible to isolate, observe, and analyze the variables that influence these experiences.
