Research group Critical Inquiry

"Fiction sets a broken bone in the hope that it will mend straight. It is a plea, a prayer… Fiction recreates what never happened. By recreating that potential, it addresses both past and future. It does not seek forgiveness, it seeks to understand." — Anne Michaels

Green Screens explores how ecological concepts—from climate change to extraterrestrial life—are dealt with in cinema, and what it means to engage with these ideas in this format. Green Screens’ programming primarily focuses on Science Fiction and seeks to understand how the genre has been used to—directly and indirectly—address ideas and anxieties around ecology thinking. It is through these twin lenses of Cinema and SF that we watch the material and discuss its political and cultural implications. Open to students, staff, graduates and friends.
