Call for Papers

2nd Marx at the Movies Conference: Cinema and the Present Day

University of Central Lancashire, July 1-2, 2015

We invite papers that address relevance of Marxism to aspects of
contemporary film and other forms of moving image. We encourage paper
abstracts from film historians, film practitioners and all sorts of
amateurs interested in the intersection between Marx’s thought (and
other Marxists, such as Benjamin, Bloch, Lefebvre, Deleuze, Rancière,
Badiou, Hardt and Negri, and Harvey) and film. We understand film
broadly, including all forms of visual culture that project movement,
including television, documentary, music video, games and animation.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:
Dr. William Brown, Roehampton University
Dr. Eva Näripea, Film Archives of the National Archives of
Estonia/Estonian Academy of Arts
