4 Aug - Crime Scenes in a Ghost Town: The Atmospherics of Lockdown
The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to lockdowns being implemented around the world. Cities from New York to London to Sydney are being emptied of their usual crowd. They have become 'ghost towns'.
Professor Alison Young and Dr Bianca Fileborn will discuss how a city street looks and feels like without crowds, shifting notions of 'crime' during the pandemic, and the consequences of how emergency powers have been implemented. These issues brought into focus by the lockdowns, have serious implications for future uses of public space and for the ways in which people experience cities. Register
here to join the talk.
Time: 5pm - 6.15pm
6 to 23 Aug - Shorts at MIFF 68½

Although you will need to purchase a ticket to 40 feature films planned for this year's festival, there are still several free content such as
shorts presented by Film Victoria, City of Melbourne, University of Melbourne and many others. Visit the
website for the full program.
