This workshop is based on the 3D screening, via VR glasses, of the short fictional-documentary film "Susuzluk" (4 minutes), which was shot using both digital and 360-degree cameras. The film is part of the TÜBİTAK 3005-supported project titled “Sinema Alanında Seyir Deneyimlerine İlişkin Medya Değişimi ve Geleceğe İlişkin Tahminler, Stratejiler ve Çözümlemeler’’ The project is led by Assoc. Prof. Berceste Gülçin Özdemir, a faculty member of the Department of Cinema at Istanbul University’s Faculty of Communication.
After the screening, a discussion will be held where participants can share their experiences and thoughts on the film. Topics such as reality, hyperreality, truth, sustainability, ecological preservation, simulation, perception, neuroscinema, and artificial intelligence are planned to be covered. During the workshop, Özdemir will share insights within the framework of the cinema discipline, opening up new areas for inquiry. Dr. Simge Şişman Bal, who contributed to data analysis and research methods for the project, will share insights from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience.
* This workshop is suitable for participants aged 18 to 60. Anyone without any health issues (psychiatric and/or neurological disorders, pregnancy, etc.) that could be affected by the VR glasses experience can participate in the workshop.
