[ecrea] Contemporary Central and South-East European Cinema in Transition: A Postgraduate Symposium

Contemporary Central and South-East European Cinema in Transition: A 
Postgraduate Symposium



University of Southampton, 23rd May 2014

Sponsored by Screen



Since the early 1990s, social and political changes have contributed to 
industrial and aesthetic developments in cinema from these regions. This 
period of transition has been characterised by uncertainty, bringing 
unexpected opportunity to some but unforeseen hardship to others. Cinema 
within the region has chronicled this transition on screen but also been 
at its mercy as an industry.



This one- day event will bring together post-graduate research students 
in the field of Central and South-East European cinema, providing a 
forum for research exchange, making connections with others in the same 
field and gaining expert insight.

The day will be split into thematically derived panels, punctuated by 
informal socialising and concluding with a workshop on the practical 
challenges facing researchers in the fields of Central and South East 
European cinema, led by

Professor Ewa Mazierska (University of Central Lancashire, editor of the 
journal Studies of Eastern European Cinema).



There is no participation fee for this event, however we do ask that you 
register in advance. Likewise, we welcome attendance irrespective of 
whether you wish to present a paper or not.



If you do wish to present, please submit a 300 word proposal for a 20 
minute paper to (centralsoutheasteurofilmsoton /at/ gmail.com) by 25th March 2014.
