CAMIRA

Cinema and Moving Image Research Assembly (CAMIRA) is found in June 2014 by Toni D’Angela. Composed of critics, academics and curators in the domain of cinema and other moving image arts, CAMIRA is an association emerging at a moment when cinema and other moving image practices are undergoing profound structural changes in the domains of production, dissemination and reception. The association seeks to create adequate responses, critiques and relations alongside these new and mutating forms, technologies and practices. Moreover, CAMIRA seeks to establish an alliance among nations to create a rhizomatic network of film practitioners committed to the critical (re) assessment of existing and emerging ‘cinematic’ forms of experience and their material and geopolitical implications.

To this end CAMIRA is made up of an eminently international council of delegates, secretaries and boards, dedicated to several productive sectors of the association: academic liaisons, an editorial board for our bi-annual multilingual journal (General Intellect) as well as a board committed to an equally multilingual blog (CAMeRA), or festival relations. The foundation of CAMIRA as an organization emerged from the collective exigencies of various cinematic regions of the world.
