The Cinema Studies Graduate Student Union (CSGSU) is excited to share the poster and full schedule of Formations, the 2026 Annual Cinema Studies Graduate Student Conference. The conference will take place from March 6th-7th at Innis College, with our keynote speaker, the experimental filmmaker and animator Prof. Jodie Mack of Dartmouth College.
The conference events are free and open to all. But we would especially like to highlight that Prof. Mack’s keynote address on March 6th, 4pm at Innis Town Hall, will include a program of experimental shorts presented with 3D diffraction glasses.
