Calendar – Past Event

This year the 59th Flaherty Seminar, "History Is What's Happening," programmed by Pablo de Ocampo, will run June 15 - 21, 2013 at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. The seminar will explore the frame and subject of history in cinema to understand the social and political conditions of the past and their role in the present.

Each year the Flaherty Seminar offers fellowships to graduate students and emerging and mid-career filmmakers and media professionals. The fellowship program is led by an academic who has attended previous Flaherty Seminars and is designed to further your knowledge of cinema through participation in an array of unique activities. Besides interacting with the group at large, Flaherty fellows take part in private meetings and discussions with the featured artists and other special guests in attendance, including programmers, writers, and academics and participate in a mentorship program. The program is rigorous and rewarding; Fellows arrive on campus a day before the Seminar begins to learn about the history of the Seminar, discuss pre-assigned readings relating to the theme, and watch and discuss each other's films, by way of an informal Fellows' film screening. Fellows will be able to return home with creative inspiration, experiences and connections, which will aid them in furthering their own careers and artistic endeavors. The deadline for all fellowship applications: Friday, March 1.
