Review 'Future Imperfect'
"Film director/writer/producer/consultant Gareth Jones’s incisive essay closes European Cinema in Motion by arguing partly that, akin to the ups and downs
of migration, ‘Film is a permanent process of accommodation between intention and possibility’ (275). Unlike prominent European film festivals,
Jones adds, we should not mistake ‘an interest in films made outside Europe and the United States [for a] commitment to foster migrant and diaspora
film within Europe’ (276)...
Jones and Malik epitomize the overall excellent quality of a book whose contributors (un)cover Europe and its cinema/s’ motions as motored by
migrant and diaspora dynamics..."

Film: Theory and Practice
A Research Programme for Cambridge University’s CRASSH (Centre for Research into the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities)
Film practitioners treat theory with suspicion. Film theorists often treat practice as dispensable to theory. Both, however, share a passion for screen culture. This project attempts to bridge the gap, bringing academic insight onto the film set and filmmaking realities into academic discourse.
Industry
East-West Crossings
Continued with IFA support as Belgrade-based East-West Crossings Promotion Fund of which Gareth Jones is a board member.
Medusa (Media Under Scrutiny Association)
Regional media are the mirror in which age-old prejudices as well as current aspirations are reflected: local perceptions of the EU’s new borders, its current neighbours and its migrant peoples as well as its potential future members. This programme is aimed at monitoring the media as Europe prepares for its next wave of accessions.
