Call for Papers: The IFVCR Network Conference ‘You Talkin’ to Me?’: 
Dialogue and Communication in Film

(Extended Deadline)

We have extended the deadline to 31st March 2017 to submit a proposal to 
the conference ‘You Talkin’ to Me?’: Dialogue and Communication in Film, 
organized by the Interdisciplinary Film and Visual Culture Research 
(IFVCR) Network. The conference will take place at Cardiff University in 
the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies on 5th–6th June 2017.

The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for researchers and 
practitioners to present new research and developments relating to the 
comparatively underrepresented areas of dialogue and communication in film.

We are interested in language-centered readings of films and we 
encourage novel theoretical perspectives and methodologies for the 
analysis of film dialogue.

All are welcome to submit proposals, but we are particularly keen to 
receive submissions from PhD students.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

Tools for film dialogue analysis

Functions of dialogue in film

Characterization through dialogue

Film dialogue and gender stereotypes

Film dialogue economy

Improvisation

Dialogue as a means to increase realism
