17/10/2025

Mirian Tavares, deputy coordinator of CIAC, will be a keynote speaker at the I Cine Bárbaras – International Conference on Cinema and Audiovisual, taking place on October 23 and 24, 2025, at Universidade Lusófona – Porto University Centre. Under the theme “Post-Memory and Collectivity: Dialogues on Cinema, Identity, and Belonging,” the session will be held at 10:00 a.m. in the Main Hall and will be presented jointly with Sheila Khan, from Universidade Lusófona/CICANT – Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture and New Technologies.

In addition to being a keynote speaker, Mirian Tavares will present the paper “Anagrammatic Montage: Temporalities in Maya Deren,” co-authored with Maria Cristina Cavalcanti (CIAC-UAlg) and Priscila Arantes (PUC-SP, Brazil), in Panel 4 – Cinema and Filmmakers: Archive and Memory, at 4:30 p.m. on October 23, in Room 2.3. She will also moderate Panel 7 – Feminisms in Film and Audiovisual Media, at 2:30 p.m. on October 24, in the Auditorium.

Ana Isabel Soares, CIAC researcher, will also take part in the conference with the presentation “OENI: Unidentified Object of Study,” in the same Panel 4 – Cinema and Filmmakers: Archive and Memory. She will furthermore act as moderator in Panel 11 – Feminism and Representations in Portuguese Cinema, at 4:30 p.m. on October 24, in the Main Hall.

The Cine Bárbaras – International Conference on Cinema and Audiovisual aims to be a space for reflection and debate dedicated to gender studies and feminist film theory. The conference seeks to address topics such as representation and representativity, feminisms in cinema, intersectionality, and the role of women and other marginalised identities in film production and exhibition. By highlighting the multiple ways in which women and non-binary people participate both in front of and behind the camera, the event values their contributions to the development of new aesthetics and narratives in cinema.

The conference is jointly organised by Universidade Lusófona – Porto University Centre, XX Element Project – Cultural Association, and Porto Femme – International Film Festival.
