University for the Creative Arts - The Cluster for Cinema, Affect, Place at UCA

University for the Creative Arts > Research at UCA > The Cluster for Cinema, Affect, Place at UCA

Our research Cluster for Cinema/Affect/Place (CCAP) supports, develops and publicises research-led film and moving image work.

Practitioners in the cluster are using filmmaking is a tool for attention, investigation and imagination, responding to marginalised and complex narratives and challenging dominant ones.

Founded by Dr Stephen Connolly, the cluster is based in our School of Film, Media and Performing Arts and aims to foster links with other academic institutions, production funding and distribution bodies, and with audiences interested in engaging, critical and interdisciplinary filmmaking.

The cluster is currently open to new members.
