Call for Papers: 4th Edinburgh International Film Audiences Conference

"...I still think the movie heroes are in the audience." Wilson Mizner, 1876
- 1933

Whilst there may be movies without audiences, if there were no audiences at
all there would be no movie industry. The aim of the Edinburgh International
Film Audiences Conference is to provide a space where all those heroes who
watch or have watched films can be uncovered, understood and celebrated
through the sharing of empirical research into their activities and
preferences.

Our conference has been praised for creating an arena where new and
experienced researchers in academe and the industry can come together to
share their enthusiasm for audience research in a friendly and supportive
manner. Whilst the conference may well appeal primarily to academics, it has
always been the aim of the organisers to include contributors from the
industry side of film so that there may be a mutually beneficial discussion.
The more each knows what the other is doing, the more can be learned about
the varied ways in which audiences have responded to the cinematic
experience and the consequences of those responses for future developments.
