[ecrea] Polish Cinema in an International Context 2nd Call for Papers

Wed Jul 22 04:22:26 GMT 2009



2nd Call for Papers




Polish Cinema in an International Context - 4-5 December 2009




An international conference, organised by Cornerhouse, Manchester, Adam Mickiewicz Institute,

Warsaw, Polish Film Institute, University of Central Lancashire, Preston and University of

Salford.




The conference is part of POLSKA! YEAR in the United Kingdom, organised by Adam Mickiewicz Institute and supported by Polish Cultural Institute in London and Polish Consulate in Manchester.




This conference will consider Polish cinema in an international context and feature contributions form both leading Polish, UK and international academics, as well as professionals involved with the production, distribution, archiving and promotion of Polish films. The conference will especially address the question of why, given Polish cinema under communism's wide dissemination and popularity, contemporary Polish cinema has much more difficulty in crossing international borders. The conference will be accompanied by a festival of Polish cinema, hosted by Cornerhouse and public discussions of Polish films. The conference is addressed to the academic community, as well as educators and promoters of Polish films and the public at large.




Organising committee

Prof. Ewa Mazierska, School of Journalism, Media and Communication, University of Central Lancashire

Dr. Michael Goddard, Lecturer in Media, Salford University
