Pratap Rughani, Course Director of LCC’s MA Documentary Film course, is Co-Investigator of the AHRC Artists’ Moving Image Research Network. The network is hosting an international group of historians, theorists, critics, curators and practitioners, who debate issues of contemporary relevance to the theory and practice of artists’ moving image. The third debate, ‘Documentary & Ethnographic Avant-Garde’, is scheduled for 25 January and is hosted by the CCW Graduate School and LCC, both part of the University of the Arts London.

The debates have shaped the publishing of the Moving Image Review & Art Journal (MIRAJ), a peer-reviewed publication devoted to artists’ film and video, and its contexts. The next issue will be published later in 2012 and features themed articles on ‘Documentary & Ethnographic Avant-Garde’.

Rughani, documentary filmmaker, journalist and artist says: “In the lead up to the next episode of this Journal, network members will discuss the most pressing issues that will set the terms of debate, and give it the momentum and backing it needs to make an ongoing contribution to knowledge.”

The Moving Image Review & Art Journal (MIRAJ) is published twice a year in collaboration with the University of the Arts London. MIRAJ offers a widely distributed international forum for debates surrounding all forms of artists’ moving image and media artworks.

More information about the network and the journal can be found on their website.
