Visual Encounters

Welcome to Visual Encounters!

Why do we say “I see” when we wish to express understanding? Do we understand that what we see is often an expression of someone’s perspective? 

Evoking the qualities of presence and feeling we invite you to the second edition of “Visual Encounters”. A film screening created by Visual Anthropology students of the Masters program at the University of Amsterdam for 2023-2024. On the 3rd, 4th and 6th of November at the Ventilator cinema of OT301 we will show 21 graduate films.  

As more and more visual information consumes our world and views, we ask questions that seek critical awareness and our collective capacity to express it. Our hope is that our films yield a space for discussion and learning.
