[ecrea] Call for Submissions for UPenn Media Festival

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.
