The *1^st Gesture Mutations in European Cinema International Conference 
*will take place from May 31^st to June 2^nd , at Universitat Pompeu 
Fabra, Barcelona. The main goal of the Conference is to interrogate the 
images of European contemporary cinema through the permanence of the 
gesture. Is there such a thing as a system of contemporary gestures in 
European cinema? Which is its link with European film tradition, as well 
as with North American classic cinema? How do the different European 
cinemas present the relationship between the filmmaker and the actor in 
the creation of this contemporary gestuality? Is it possible to 
acknowledge an European common imaginary background from its gestures? 
For three days, we will discuss about these and other topics regarding 
the gesture in European cinema. But this event will be more than three 
days of conferences: it will also include a Workshop in which renowned 
international filmmakers and actors will be involved. *Oksana Bulgakova* 
and *Victor Stoichita* are two of the theorists and historians who have 
confirmed their attendance already.

It's our goal that this Conference became a reference point in the 
research on European cinema in general and, for this reason, we'd like 
to invite you to send us your proposals for a lecture of 25-30 minutes 
to the electronic addresses you will find below *_not later than March 
30^th _*. We will inform you about the final resolution of the accepted 
papers on *_April 12^th _*.

We'd like to ask you to send an abstract no longer than one page where, 
above all, the starting point was an invocation of an image or a group 
of images of one gesture you consider particularly meaningful in recent 
European cinema. The abstracts, as well as the accepted papers, can be 
presented in English, French, Spanish, Catalan or Italian.

The proceedings of the Conference will be published, with their 
corresponding ISBN.
