Trouble on Screen will examine the ways in which trouble is represented on big and small screens, as well as how film and television production can inspire or provoke trouble in terms of audience reception. Additionally, it will explore how the screen itself as a medium can become “troubled”, questioning the reliability of what is reflected there or making aesthetic use of blurring, murkiness or obscurity.
