Javier Lloret - Thesis outline

Summary

During the process of my thesis I am going to research and write about certain topics that are related with my graduation project: Art films, loose narratives, stillness and slow tempo. About the thesis format, I don't discard to combine the formats 1 and 2, but I would say it is more likely that I end up choosing format 2 and write a series of essays.

Content

Here a list of titles of the potential essays that would constitute my thesis:

• The mise-en-scene over the argument in author cinema
• Cinema in the art gallery: from found footage to cinematic video art
• Art cinema and the search of time
• Deconstructing narratives through space in multi-channel artistic video
