Filmosphy: Film as Philosophy
In our inaugural open lecture, James Mooney discusses the relationship between film and philosophy. Can film do philosophy? What does it mean for a film to be philosophical? This lecture will examine the claim that we can consider some films to be works of philosophy and some filmmakers philosophers.

Open Lectures at the Centre for Open Learning
Our Open Lectures series celebrates the research, projects, collaborations, events and professional practices of our teaching staff at the Centre for Open Learning. Our courses are designed and taught by an extraordinary range of talented and dedicated academics, practitioners and professionals. Many enjoy long and distinguished careers whilst others are in the early stages, perhaps in the midst of their postdoctoral study or working on their first book or exhibition.
Our series brings our learning community together to listen and engage with our tutors, as they reveal the story behind their own practices and research, perhaps through a funded project, a commission or continuing professional development.
