The themes presented cover film exhibition and reception, censorship, audiovisual heritage, and intermedial practices, reflecting the conceptual diversity of the field. Converging on the analysis of materialities, socio-cultural contexts, and aesthetic and technological transformations, this body of research reaffirms the centrality of cinema as a privileged object for understanding cultural processes in constant flux and highlights the importance of innovative methodologies in the analysis of moving images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a

Methodologies<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than understanding New Cinema History (NCH) merely as a revisionist perspective that provocatively reconfigures film studies by decentralizing the films themselves, this paper argues that NCH\u2019s major innovations lie not only in its emphasis on the social embeddedness of cinema or its focus on exhibition, distribution, and audience reception. Drawing on examples from a wide range of NCH\u2011inspired research, this paper examines the breadth of innovation within the field\u2014showing how NCH has introduced new research questions, expanded the types of data and sources mobilized, brought rarely used methods and methodologies into the discipline, and reshaped both the research ethos and the epistemological foundations of film studies. The talk, which advocates for a further intensification of multiscalar and multimethodological approaches, will also explore how NCH has reconfigured and examined various dimensions of spatiality in relation to film and cinema\u2014thereby promoting a more polycentric gaze on cinema\u2019s past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Biltereyst is Full Professor of Film and Media Studies and Director of the Centre for Cinema and Media Studies (CIMS) at Ghent University.

The main applications of generative AI will be discussed \u2014 from concept art to visual effects and synthetic voice or image \u2014 as well as the benefits and risks they pose for industry professionals. We also address the essential principles of copyright law, emphasizing the centrality of human involvement and the current limitations in protecting fully automated content. The paper also reflects on the need to preserve the human dimension of the arts and on the role of the State, civil society, and professional organizations in defending creators in a rapidly evolving technological context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agatha Bulha is a lawyer, graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon, with a postgraduate degree in Intellectual Property Law from the same faculty.
