CONSCIOUS + Anil Seth & Suki Chan in conversation

OxDocs is a new annual documentary film festival at the University of Oxford.

We showcase the best research-embedded documentary films from around the globe, alongside talks from inspiring thinkers. Join us in our first year, at OxDocs 26, for screenings and discussions at the Ultimate Picture Palace and the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.

Conscious

The festival concludes at 18:30 with CONSCIOUS (80 min), followed by a presentation and conversation with Professor Anil Seth and the film’s director, Suki Chan. Conscious is a haunting exploration of consciousness and memory, that follows the experiences of three women living with dementia alongside the work of neuroscientist Anil Seth. Seth, Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex and Director of the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science, will speak about hallucination before joining Chan in a discussion about the boundaries of consciousness. The conversation will be facilitated by Professor Richard White.

Hallucination

The first edition of OxDocs will explore the vicissitudes of hallucinatory experiences. In science, in nature, and in our daily lives, we explore its beauty and its powerful force in shaping what we call reality.
