​​Discussion: Critiquing Critique - Whose Writing Matters?

Our Responses publishing platform is dedicated to writing about performance art and film in a way that challenges the more quantitative-oriented culture of reviewing.

This panel will consider the place of traditional arts critique, and its relationship to filmmakers, artists, writers, and audiences. Editorial Director, Tomiwa Folorunso will be joined by Glasgow-based Naomi Gessesse who works in film curation and criticism, writer and Take One Action programmer, Xuanlin Tham and director of Violeta & Sofia, Noah Isa Berhitu. Together they’ll consider enriching ways in which film, art and writers can engage and be in dialogue with each other.

This event is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.
