The complex relationships between emotion, ethics, and cinematic experience provides the focus for this invited interdisciplinary workshop, the second 'Cinematic Ethics' symposium at Macquarie University, organised by Dr Robert Sinnerbrink as part of his ARC Future Fellowship project, 'Cinematic Ethics: Exploring Ethical Experience through Film' (FT 130100334). It brings together national and international researchers working on film from different disciplines, traditions, and theoretical perspectives. Particular attention will be given to developing the dialogue between phenomenological and cognitivist approaches to theorising emotion, ethics, and aesthetics in cinematic experience.
