The 9th Irish Postgraduate Film Research Seminar will take place at Huston
School of Film and Digital Media, NUI Galway, 19-20 April 2012*.

The seminar is aimed at postgraduates who are conducting research in the

presentation of new research on aspects of film, television and media by
scholars in Irish and non-Irish third-level institutions.
This event encourages the development and exchange of ideas, and is intended to contribute to the
training of students in research methods and to the advancement of their
academic profiles.

Each paper should be twenty minutes in length, and can examine the chosen

historical perspective. The above list is not exhaustive: organisers will be
happy to consider any papers which complement the seminar’s proceedings
in alternative ways.


Those wishing to make a presentation are invited to submit an abstract
(max. 250 words), along with a short bibliography and biographical note to
