OxDocs Co-Lab: NOISE

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.

OxDocs Co-Lab: Noise

OxDocs presents a new short audiovisual artwork developed through the OxDocs Co-Lab, followed by a panel discussion. The OxDocs Co-Lab brings filmmakers and researchers together to co-create films through a shared process of discovery, opening up new approaches to research, public engagement and film production. This year, Professor Richard White, Professor of Genetics at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Medicine, has collaborated with artists Chu-Li Shewring and Adam Gutch to explore “noise” and “signal” in science and everyday life: how we search for patterns and meaning amid messy data.

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.
