Description of Activity

Presenting “Stina & the Wolf” - Visual symbolism as an act of perception.

ABSTRACT

The feature film “Stina & the Wolf”, currently in development at Portsmouth University by students, lecturers and graduates positions the protagonist at the center of its approach to symbolism. The film explores the use of storytelling through symbolism and dream logic as a way to make sense of traumatic experiences, where symbolism is an act of perception centered on the protagonist. The talk will dive into the ideas behind this and how it functions as a mechanism for creating drama, emotion, meaning and ambiguity.
