[ecrea] Call for Papers: 22nd International Screen Studies Conference, 29th June- 1st July 2012, University of Glasgow, Scotland

Thu Oct 13 10:52:22 GMT 2011



The 22nd International Screen Studies Conference is organised by /Screen/ journal and will be programmed by /Screen/ editor Karen Lury. We invite papers on any topic in screen studies, i.e. cinema, television and digital media. Submissions for pre-formed three-person panels will be considered but not prioritised. *'Other Cinemas' *will be the subject of the plenaries and will form a strand running throughout the conference.
*Confirmed keynote speakers*
Charles Acland (Concordia University), editor of /Useful Cinema /(2011)
Elizabeth Lebas (Middlesex University), author of /Forgotten Futures: British Municipal Cinema 1920-1980 /(2011) Looking into the past and the future of cinema has inspired increasing academic interest in films and film-making practices that are generally considered to be outside the 'mainstream' of commercial cinema. /Screen/ wishes to encourage presentations that engage with these 'Other Cinemas'. This might involve:
. 'Amateur' films;
. Educational cinema;
. Industrial films;
. Films produced for and distributed via different web platforms;
. Experimental or avant-garde work;
. 'Sponsored' films (municipal cinema, health films).
The deadline for proposals is _*Friday, 13th January 2012*_. Please visit _http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/screen/conference2012/_ for full submission details.
