UPDATE: Please get your film tickets soon to avoid dissappointment and note that you should register for the third day separately. All the screenings and events are open to all. Tickets are free to University of Bradford students and staff.

This unique event explores themes of media representation, identity and global environmental change as drivers for conflict. The Tuesday focus specifically on the Middle East - from Israel/Palestine, Algiers through to Afghanistan. These films may tell us more about the conflicts currently happening there than 'the news'.

Wednesday features two screenings: Oliver Stone's heart-rending Salvador and The March which dramatises the mass-migration from poor countries to the rich.

Last Year's Programme

We aim to:

• Critically examine the place of media and its ability to impact on, and represent, real-world issues of conflict and identity.
• To offer a high quality series of materials and talks, for students studying Media or Conflict related subjects at The University of Bradford and for the public at large.
• To 'cross-polinate' between the staff and students of Peace Studies, Bradford Media School, Creative Technology, outside organisations and the public.
• To screen some excellent films in a wonderful venue, and have an opportunity to discuss them!

Booking is required for each film; which can be done through the museum's box office on 0844 856 3797 or you can collect the tickets in person - for free with a Bradford student card (or for paying customers, at their website nationalmediamuseum.org.uk).

The Architecture of Conflict

This event runs alongside the National Media Museum's Architecture of Conflict event which explores how photography has engaged with the militarisation of urban spaces. By bringing together practitioners, academics, and critics, the conference will examine how visual artists have depicted the often violent interaction between warfare and cities. Speakers include Hilary Roberts, Donovan Wylie, Paul Lowe and others.
