What do thoughts look like when written onto a moving image, and how can we think through cinema? Through selected films, Ariel Avissar explores these and other questions by engaging in videographic research, an emerging academic-artistic field that treats video editing as a tool for thought, interpretation, and critique. His talk will focus on the integration of text within cinematic imagery, presenting the range of expressive, investigative, and creative possibilities that this combination offers.

Ariel Avissar is a lecturer and media scholar at the School of Film and Television, Tel Aviv University. In recent years, he has actively promoted videography as an academic practice in Israel and has initiated and participated in various international projects in the field. His works have been published in online academic journals and screened at conferences and festivals worldwide.
