Call For Papers: Directory of World Cinema: France
Editors: Tim Palmer (University of North Carolina Wilmington) and Charlie
Michael (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
From the beginnings of cinema to the present day, France is perennially at
the center of world film culture. Traditionally, though, the history of
French cinema has been told in terms of great directors and select artistic
movements. This new edited volume presents an alternative to this standard
story by unearthing lost or neglected films, broadening the canon, and
offering original approaches to acknowledged classics.
For this project, the editors seek 1000-word submissions on notable French
films. All selections are welcome, but the editors are particularly
interested in texts that relate to the following categories: animation;
women?s cinema; avant-gardes and counter cinemas; new waves and young
cinemas; Francophone and immigrant filmmaking; documentary and realism;
blockbusters and superproductions; the crime film/policier; comedies;
classics revisited.
Please email all submissions (including a very brief plot synopsis separate
from the body of the text) to: (frenchcinemadirectory /at/ hotmail.com)
Questions to the editors can be addressed to (palmert /at/ uncw.edu) or
(camichael /at/ wisc.edu)
Intellect is launching the Directory of World Cinema, which aims to bring a
new dimension to the academic study of film. Each volume will cover the
cinema of a particular region, and will offer an A-Z of analyses of
individual films, longer framing/conceptual essays, and
research resources.
