Inciting Images: War in Film, Television and New Media

Admission is free.

Makers of film, television and new media often create works that address issues of social change. Contemporary filmmakers are particularly interested in examining the subject of war. What motivates these artists and what is the impact of cinematic media? A panel of acclaimed artists and media makers will discuss their work and how they encourage dialogue and action. Panelists will include Kathryn Bigelow, Academy Award–winning director of The Hurt Locker; Robert Greenwald, director/producer of the acclaimed documentary Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers; Susana Ruiz, producer of the groundbreaking game Darfur: Play Your Part; and Albert “Skip” Rizzo, associate director for medical virtual reality at the Institute for Creative Technologies.

Organized by Jeremy Kagan (Cinematic Arts), Doe Mayer (Cinematic Arts), Dave O’Brien (Cinematic Arts) and the USC Change Making Media Lab.
