Final Call for Papers

1916, CINEMA AND REVOLUTION

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, GALWAY

1916 marked the establishment of Ireland's first indigenous film
company, The Film Company of Ireland, whose co-founder James Mark
Sullivan was arrested after the Rising and charged with complicity. As
part of NUI Galway's programme of events to commemorate the 1916 Rising,
the Huston School of Film & Digital Media invites contributions on the
theme of 1916, Cinema and Revolution. Events in that year and
subsequently have featured in a range of cinematic and televisual
productions while there is also a significant international dimension to
the relationship between revolutionary history and cinema. Therefore, we
invite considerations on aspects of the representation of the Rising, as
well as other revolutionary moments in Irish and world history. Topics
may include, but are not limited to:

- Filming the Rising;

- The representation of revolution in film and television;

- Postcolonial cinema and revolution;

- the Cuban revolution in film;

- Representing the Russian Revolution;

- Cinema and Vietnam;

The conference will include screenings of Irish and international films
relevant to the conference theme, including a screening of a rarely seen
print of John Ford's THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS (1937).
