    • MOVING A STILL ARTIFACT: FILM CRITIQUES THE MUSEUM led by filmmaker Jessica Sarah Rinland [ @jessicarinland ], draws from the long and rich thread throughout cinema history centered around collecting and museum collections; sites of cultural significance have proved to be, and continue to be productive subjects for film projects. https://uniondocs.org/event/moving-a-still-artifact-film-critiques-the-museum/ Explore modalities of filmic discourse to create a short-form film produced from their enquiries into museums, the objects that live within them, archival and found footage. By exploring the museum through film – from an architectural setting or didactic experience, to the subversive – the workshop will focus on the filmmaker’s potential to transform these cultural institutions. Expose the “other side” of the museological practice, of collection, knowledge production, disposition and appropriation using the visual and sonic medium of film. When reflecting on the depiction of cultural objects in Statues Also Die (1953) – #ChrisMarker, Ghislain Cloquet, and #AlainResnais critique of the ways Western museums decontextualize and display African art objects – Sophie Berrebi describes how the attributes of film – image, sound, and montage – act as revelatory devices, exposing the “other side” of a cultural object “creating a rupture in the museum’s order”.
