IMOVICCON 2023

IMOVICCON (International Moving Image Cultures Conference) is an academic event initiated by a joint effort of the Visual Communication Design Department of Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH), Indonesia, and the Film Department of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN), Indonesia. This conference is held every two years, with the host alternating between UPH and UMN. The first conference was held in 2019, hosted by the Film Department of UMN.

This conference aims to bring together leading academic and research scholars to exchange and share their academic experiences and research results on all aspects of Moving Image Culture. This event also provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, students, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, as well as practical challenges, encountered, and solutions adopted in the fields of Moving Image Culture.

The 3rd IMOVICCON aims to celebrate moving images by looking at their past, present, and future. It’s necessary to examine the past, the present, and the future of moving images since the past can be used as a reflection site. The present tells how far we’ve come, and it is even more interesting to see what the future holds for moving image culture.

Ever since the invention of the Phenakistoscope until the development of the Metaverse, moving image culture continued to evolve and became a huge inspiration for various research and publications. Its transdisciplinary nature also makes moving images approachable by every methodology available, making it possible to be explored and researched by multiple scientific disciplines.

This conference is an academic space for students, lecturers, researchers, practitioners, and moving image enthusiasts to exchange and share academic experiences and disseminate their recent research on all aspects of moving images. Submissions can address any aspect, but not limited to, of the past, the present, and the future of moving images.
