Child and Nation on Film*
*A Post-Graduate Symposium*
McCrum Lecture Theatre, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 2^nd November
2015
**
*Call for papers:*
This day conference will explore filmic representations of girlhoods, of
boyhoods, of transgender childhoods, of queer childhoods, considering
how imaging of diverse gender identities intersects with questions of
national and transnational identity. Both documentary and feature film
will be encompassed, commercial and independent cinema. There will also
be focus on home movies, found footage films, essay films, films by
children, coming of age films, autobiographical films, experimental and
avant-garde films. Céline Sciamma’s /Girlhood/ (2014) and Richard
Linklater’s /Boyhood/ (2014) will offer further points of reference and
discussion. Overall, cinema’s investment in or disruption of coherent
and explanatory narratives of growing up will be our point of focus.
