[ecrea] FFRN CfP for pre-constituted panels on Film Festivals at NECS and SCREEN, June 2013
Thu Nov 15 05:58:08 GMT 2012
Please find attached two CfPs for the upcoming annual conferences of
NECS (Prague, 20-22 June 2013) and Screen (Glasgow, 28-30 June 2013).
The FFRN is looking to submit pre-constituted panel proposals on film
festivals for both of these events. Screen is known to adhere to a
stricter selection policy than NECS, as it is a significantly smaller
event in size, and we will respond to this by paying extra close
attention to the coherence between paper proposals as well as the track
record (in festival research) of potential participants.
Please note the two different deadlines!
#1 CfP pre-constituted panel(s) on film festivals at NECS 2013 Conference
Media Politics - Political Media
The NECS 2013 Conference
Prague, Czech Republic, June 20-22, 2013
Hosted by Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague
In preparation for the seventh annual NECS conference taking place in
Prague, 20-22 June 2013, we would like to invite scholars working on
film festivals (especially members of the Film Festival Research Network
& NECS Film Festival Research Work Group) to submit paper proposals for
one of more pre-constituted panels.
The panel(s) will be open to papers on all aspects of research relating
to film festivals, but we specifically invite papers on the conference
theme of ‘Media Politics – Political Media’. Please note that
individuals may submit only one paper proposal, either to the open call
or as a part of a pre-constituted panel or workshop.
Panels may consist of 3-4 speakers with a maximum of 20 minutes speaking
time each. All presenters are obliged to provide us with a title, an
abstract of max 150 words, 3-5 key bibliographical references, name of
the presenter and institutional affiliation.
Panel organizers are asked to submit panel proposals including a panel
title, a short description (up to 100 words) of the panel and
information on all the papers as listed above.
We ask anyone interested in participating in a film festival panel to
send their completed proposal to Skadi Loist
((skadi /at/ filmfestivalresearch.org)) by JANUARY 15, 2013 to allow time for
preparation of the overall panel description(s) and submission before
the general submissions deadline on January 31, 2013.
The conference language is English. Conference attendance is free, but
NECS membership is required to participate in the conference. For the
terms of NECS membership, please see the website. Participants will
have to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. Detailed
information on NECS and the Prague Conference will be posted on
www.necs.org.
#2 CfP pre-constituted panel(s) on film festivals at Screen 2013 Conference
Screen Conference 2013
“Cosmopolitan Screens”
University of Glasgow, 28-30 June, 2013
In preparation for the 23rd annual Screen conference taking place in
Glasgow, 28-30 June 2013, we would like to invite scholars working on
film festivals (especially members of the Film Festival Research
Network, www.filmfestivalresearch.org) to submit paper proposals for one
or more pre-constituted panels.
The panel(s) will be open to papers on all aspects of research relating
to Film Festivals, but we especially invite papers on the conference
theme of ‘Cosmopolitan Screens’ as this topic seems to particularly lend
itself to film festival studies.
The general call reads:
“Debates about the national, the transnational, the global and the
multi-cultural have permeated screen studies for decades. The main
theme of this year’s Screen conference will consider how such debates
might be reframed through a serious engagement with theories of
cosmopolitanism. How might discussions about cosmopolitanism, currently
animating subjects across the humanities and social sciences, speak to
scholarship in film and television studies and vice versa?
Literally suggesting a combination of worldliness (cosmos) and place
(city, city-state, citizenship – polis), the concept of cosmopolitanism
has inspired new political visions post 9/11 and its aftermath.
Recently taken up as a lens through which to discuss the ethics of
encountering strangers, the politics of offering hospitality to
foreigners and the problem of challenging aversion to otherness,
cosmopolitanism has also come under attack for its perceived complicity
with global hegemonies.
If screen studies have been slow to take up the cosmopolitan question
directly, it is perhaps because audiovisual media have been so deeply
embedded within transnational and globalising cultures from their
earliest beginnings. But is there something particular to film,
television and new media cultures that might speak directly to the
problems at the heart of the current cosmopolitan project? How might we
understand the changing significance of film and television through a
cosmopolitan lens? The editors of Screen welcome proposals for
papers/panels on any of these questions and on the following topics of
the main conference theme (proposals for other subjects beyond this
focus will as usual be considered):
· Conceptual and methodological interrogations of
cosmopolitanism from perspectives within screen studies, most
especially connecting to ethics, politics, philosophy and the law;
· Explorations of screen cultures through debates about the
relationship between cosmopolitanism, transnationalism, globalisation,
multiculturalism and 'world cinema';
· Cosmopolitan spaces of circulation (exhibition, distribution,
new platforms of delivery);
· Cosmopolitan aesthetics and spectatorship (how might this be
understood and theorised?);
· Cosmopolitan positions – how are film and television makers
and audiences positioned in relation to the production and circulation
of their work?”
Panels may consist of 3 speakers. All presenters are obliged to provide
us with a title, an abstract of max 200 words (incl. 3-5 key
bibliographical references), name of the presenter and institutional
affiliation. In order to meet the Screen standard, we suggest that you
download the Screen proposal template
(http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_244696_en.doc) and use this already
when sending your abstract for consideration to be included in a
pre-constituted panel on film festivals.
We ask anyone interested in participating in a film festival panel to
send their completed proposal to Skadi Loist
((skadi /at/ filmfestivalresearch.org)) by JANUARY 2nd, 2013 to allow time for
preparation of the overall panel description(s) and submission before
the general submissions deadline on January 11, 2013.

We are looking forward to your contributions.
