Pada penyelenggaraan Forum Festival 2016, ARKIPEL social/kapital – 4th Jakarta International Documentary & Experimental Film Festival menghadirkan Ruth Noack sebagai Keynote Speaker. Pada hari pembukaan forum, Noack akan menyampaikan makalahnya, berjudul Once again – Agency in Cinema.
“Tak cukup hanya membuat filem-filem yang baik. Tak cukup hanya menulis tentang filem-filem yang baik. Tak cukup hanya memediasi filem-filem yang baik. Sejak kelahiran gagasan yang di dalamnya mungkin terdapat sebuah praktik artistik radikal, refleksi kritis mengenai gambar bergerak, dan sebuah tanda kualitas atau kondisi tentang penonton yang merdeka, orang-orang telah merumuskan lebih dari satu—dan juga melupakan lebih dari satu—cara-cara untuk mencapai “agency” di dalam aktivitas-aktivitas ini. Apakah kita sebagai produsen kebudayaan, aktivis politik, atau hanya penikmat sinema; kita semua tak punya pilihan selain mencoba dengan cara baru. Lagi dan lagi.” (Abtstraksi makalah “Once again – Agency in Cinema” oleh Ruth Noack).

In organizing the Festival Forum 2016, ARKIPEL social/capital – 4th Jakarta International Documentary & Experimental Film Festival invites Ruth Noack as the Keynote Speaker. She will present her paper on the opening day of the forum, entitled Once Again – Agency in Cinema.
“It is not enough to make good films. It is not enough to write about good films. It is not enough to mediate good films. Since the inception of the idea that there might be: a radical artistic practice, a critical reflexion of moving images and an emancipated spectatorship, people have formulated more than once – and forgotten more than once – how to achieve agency in these activities. Whether we are cultural producers, political activists or simply fans of cinema, we have no choice but to try anew. Again and again.” (Abstract from “Once again – Agency in Cinema” by Ruth Noack).
