Research Video Showcase

Come and be inspired by films produced by social sciences researchers, and vote for your favourite film!

Researchers from Oxford's Social Sciences Division have been working closely with professional video producers to develop the skills and techniques to produce original and purposeful videos, and we welcome you to come and be inspired by their productions!

This two-part event will screen films produced by two training cohorts: the first showcasing a selection of short films about Oxford social scientists' research projects, and the second showcasing productions from the School of Anthropology & Ethnography where researchers have been exploring the use of video as a research tool. Between the two Showcases, attendees will have the chance to learn hands-on practical tips for filming on mobile phones.

The Showcases will also be screened online for those who cannot attend in person (please select the appropriate 'Watch online' ticket at checkout).

Book your place!

Please note that recording will be in progress during this event for the live-stream. Online attendees will have their cameras automatically switched off, and in-person audience members should only be visible from behind. However, if you at all concerned about the possibility of appearing on camera, please speak to a member of staff.
