[ecrea] Call for Submissions for UPenn Media Festival

Sat Nov 08 21:04:35 GMT 2014



THE THIRD ANNUAL SCREENING SCHOLARSHIP MEDIA FESTIVAL

#SSMF2015 March 27 - 28, 2015 University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA

This year at the Screening Scholarship Media Festival we invite submissions from scholars, activists, artists, filmmakers, and educators that creatively explore how the social world is performed in and through digital media. Over the last few years, there has been a proliferation of scholarship that looks at media as a vehicle for performing and constituting reality, not merely representing it. With this in mind we ask: What are the ethics and politics of (re)presenting our work on screen? How do multiple lives -- digital, analog, physical -- connect and disconnect through on and offline pathways? What does it mean to be a scholar, artist, and/or educator in the digital age? What are the affordances and tensions of digital media for scholarship, activism, and pedagogy?

SSMF will highlight multimodal projects during two days of screenings and discussions showcasing film, soundscapes and recordings, blogs, websites, eBooks, animation, photographs, installations, and other media forms.

Online Submissions Open September 22, 2014 Deadline for Submissions is November 19 , 2014

Please visit our website for the submission guidelines and more information about the festival. camra is also recruiting graduate students and scholars to serve as reviewers for SSMF 2015. If you are interested in serving as a peer reviewer for SSMF, please contact (SSMF /at/ camrapenn.org) <mailto:(SSMF /at/ camrapenn.org)>.

camra asks questions about the affordances, challenges, and possibilities of multimodal scholarship in teaching, learning, mediamaking, and knowledge production. Our aim is to support media-based research and pedagogies, with an explicit focus on: (1) establishing responsive and practical guidelines for the evaluation of multimodal research and scholarship; (2) utilizing participatory, digital, and ethnographic methodologies; (3) creating supportive spaces (both digital and physical) for multimodal work to be showcased; (4) critically examining how technology is changing the processes, relationships and products related to teaching and learning.
