The Film Studies Working Group Collaborative Colloquia continues with Seeing Touch, a screening of three experimental short films, and a joint faculty-graduate student presentation by FSWG's very own Professor Chris Reed (English, Visual Studies) and PhD candidate Merve Şen (Comparative Literature, Visual Studies)! Two very different feminist takes on film-making that engage the dynamic relationships of bodies and the senses.

The Film Studies Working Group, formerly known as Comparative Literature Film Screening Series, aims to bring together graduate students and early-, mid-, and senior-career faculty who work on film at Penn State. Fostering a series of conversations across departments about the filmic medium, this project will create a vibrant network for scholars to meet, share their research, receive constructive feedback, and develop collaborative work. For more information and inquiries, and to be added to the Film Studies Working Group’s listserv, please contact Merve Şen (mfs6340@psu.edu) or Adam Decaulp (aqd6007@psu.edu).
