Stand-Ins and Extras: Exploiting Migration’s Precarity

Join us for this seminar with Dr Kay Dickinson (University of Glasgow). Kay's work reveals how displaced persons fleeing from nations were it can be tricky or dangerous to shoot film productions, e.g. Pakistan, or Iraq, are often drawn into working as underpaid extras and 'local' crew on big budget film productions in their destination locations, which are being used as a substitute for these migrants' home country. Hosted by the Durham Centre for Visual Arts and Culture (CVAC).
