In this session, I will share some theoretical and methodological reflections on how to conduct experimental research cinema about “visual trust”. To do so, I will introduce the principle of “studying images through images” and I will comment on the importance to critically connect theoretical approaches with practical, aesthetic, and ethical choices. To illustrate these debates, I will screen some fragments of some of the films made within the ERC project VISUAL TRUST. I will also show the first cut of the on-going film A Matter of Facts, that I co-direct with the anthropologist and filmmaker Mihai Andrei Leaha. This film aims at exploring how visual disinformation works in contexts of electoral processes marked by logics of polarization and of raise of the extreme right.
