SUMMARY:DIGITAL MEDIA, NEW CINEMAS, AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH
DESCRIPTION:
 DIGITAL MEDIA, NEW CINEMAS, AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH\n
 \n
 Digital 
 media has changed the everyday 
 lives of millions of people worldwide, however 
 the focus on these recent technological developments 
 tends to emphasize the lives of those 
 in first-world nations.\n
 \n
 How is it that 
 digital media, mobile technologies, and new cinematic 
 forms of representation have changed 
 the production and experience of art, economies, 
 and culture in the global south?\n
 Focusing 
 on contemporary developments in digital media, 
 and especially film and the arts, this symposium 
 will explore the creative and tactical 
 integration of digital media and new technologies 
 through diverse topics such as:\n
 New 
 African cinema, Media creation and distribution 
 in Southeast Asia and South America, and Films 
 that engage a minoritarian viewpoint regardless 
 of geopolitical origins.\n
 A three-day 
 event, the symposium begins formally with a 
 film screening on the Michigan State University 
 campus at 8:00 pm, Thursday, presented by 
 the filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu (Kenya). Two days 
 of panels and speakers will follow Friday at 
 MSU, and Saturday at the University of Michigan.\n
