[ecrea] Call for Chapters: Community Filmmaking: Diversity, Innovation, Policy and Practice

Thu Feb 12 12:54:49 GMT 2015



Call for Chapters: Community Filmmaking: Diversity, Innovation, Policy and Practice

Editors:
Sarita Malik (Sociology/Communications, Brunel University London)
Caroline Chapain (Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham)
Roberta Comunian (Creative Industries, Kings College London)

The community arts movement of the 1960s and 1970s was based on the assumption that community-led activity was representative of the people, and thus merited public investment. Since then, community filmmaking has been a good example of community-led arts activity, often with a civic agenda, that lacks public investment. Research around the role of cinema and society has tended to focus on the mainstream film value chain, with the role of community filmmaking contexts still under-developed. Community Filmmaking: Diversity, Innovation, Policy and Practice seeks to address these gaps by relating issues of cultural diversity and community filmmaking to innovation through critical conceptual and empirical analysis. It will focus on the community mode of filmmaking, especially on current production and practices and the extent to which it constitutes an alternative to ‘mainstream’ filmmaking or one step on a pathway towards it. The book also aims to shed light on the role and
 impact of policy and place.

Submissions will contribute to the debate by exploring community filmmaking and its connection with representations and identities, as well as practices and innovation in various places. They will develop situated and reflexive examinations of the complex relationships between community filmmaking and diversity/representation/innovation/policy/practice.

Contributions that feature UK, European and/or international examples are welcome as are interdisciplinary perspectives from within Media and Communication Studies, Creative Industries, Cultural Studies, Film Studies, Cultural Geography, Business and Innovation Studies and Sociology.

Chapters may explore, but are not limited to, the following areas of focus/themes:

Representation

Amateur filmmaking and ideas of domestic creativity

Cultural Identity

Skills and training

Practices and Innovation

Arts and commerce

Networks and intermediaries

Skills and Networks

Policy, Place and Community Filmmaking
