CITO

The International Joint Research Group Cinematography in Progress (CITO) intends to reveal the relevance of the study of cinematography to the field of film studies. It provides a pivotal opportunity: analyzing cinematography as an expressive medium, a property that adds meaning.

The main focus is the visual storytelling aspect of fiction films. To research how images speak is an important step towards visual literacy. Cinematography research has also significance beyond the academic field as the social media world now communicates more and more with moving images.
