Citt Williams, a documentary filmmaker, will speak Friday, September 19 from 2:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. in Textor 102. Williams has made films for the UN Forum on Climate Change and has had works screened at Cannes and Sundance.
Over the last fifty years, globalization and the rise of digital networks have changed how we know and critically engage with the changing world around us. Using a series of short films and emerging “digital policy submission” case studies from around the world, this session explores more radical methodologies in environmental change assessment and shares with audiences recent methodological developments coming from Indigenous and local groups in the Arctic, Australia, Latin America and Africa.
Some of the case study films include: "The Forbidden forest of the Dayak" set in Borneo Indonesia, "Fighting Carbon with Fire" from Australia's Arnhem Land, and "Pamiri Women and the Melting Glaciers of Tajikistan.”
