The Cinepoetics Lectures are a series organized by a group of researchers going by the same name at the Freie Universtität Berlin, where film and media scholars from across the world are invited to select and present a film. The current Cinepoetics Lectures are exploring the connection between genre and affect. How do “classic”and less traditional genres relate to categories such as feeling, mood or atmosphere? Which new insights are thus produced in relation to the –cultural and political –functions of the genre system? For the second lecture, we are showing the film peripatetikos 1: Agora, or things indifferent and peripatetikos 2: Plato's Phaedrus (2016) by the film expert, philosopher and experimental filmmaker D.N. Rodowic (Chicago), who will give a lecture about the relationship between philosophy, perception and experimental film and introduce both films (jhb)(19.6.)
