Fri May 05 14:49:24 GMT 2017






*Symposium: Exploitation Cinema in the 21^st Century*

*Venue: Canterbury Christ Church University*

*June 9^th , Pg09 Powell Lecture Theatre 9am-6pm*

*Keynote speaker: Dr Johnny Walker (Northumbria University)*

In relation to cinema, the term “exploitation” has been adopted by various individuals and institutions over time, from opportunistic film producers and marketers of the 1920s to contemporary online distributors releasing new films in the 21st century. There is a current wave of exciting and productive scholarship on the historical developments of exploitation cinema, and its famous, and not so famous, films and filmmakers. Much of this research focuses on exploitation before the year 2000, with a particular focus on the years up to and including the VHS era of the 1980s. Less exists on the inflections of exploitation in the 21st century, and the trends and developments that have taken place since the turn of the century.

This symposium will shed new light on the embodiments of exploitation cinema since 2000; with a particular emphasis on waves, cycles, and genres, changes in consumption (such as online rather than in theatres), and which particular exploitation filmmakers stand out as being important in contemporary times.

*Registration is now open.* Please follow the link to book your place;
