CineMuseSpace international co-investigator Andong Lu, together with principal-investigator François Penz, organised a workshop and seminar at Nanjing University from 23rd to 25th March 2018. The event entitled “Cinematic Interpretation of Spatiality: A Workshop and Seminar on Cinematic Architecture” was composed of a one-day workshop, a one-day seminar and two keynote talks by the CineMuseSpace members. Leading architects, scholars from the fields of film studies and architecture studies, and filmmakers were invited from China, Japan and Hong Kong.

During the workshop phase of the event, all participants were organized into 10 parallel groups and tasked with exploring a chosen concept of space through the filmic medium within Nanjing’s Zhan Garden, the Former Residence of Ganxi and the Nanjing university grounds. During the seminar day the participants demonstrated their filmic results and discussed the theme of “cinema as a culture of space” through various paper presentations and a round table discussion.

A documentary team, led by CineMuseSpace research associate Janina Schupp, documented the event and generated 10 short films that reveal the thought process and practical approach behind the cinematic translation of spatial concepts in the workshop film products.

All filmic workshop results and their documentary counterparts will be exhibited at the NextMixing Gallery, Shanghai in early May 2018.
