Call for Contributions to the Radical Film Network Conference 2017 - 
Tolpuddle


The Radical Film Network Conference 2017 - Tolpuddle will take place 
from 14.00 on Thursday 13th July - 14.00 on Saturday 15th July at the 
Tolpuddle Festival <http://www.tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk/festival>, UK. 
The conference will run alongside the Tolpuddle Radical Film Festival 
<http://www.tolpuddleradicalfilm.org.uk/>, and the larger festival will 
also host initiatives such as a Radical History School. The conference 
will be situated in a marquee and the Vintage Mobile Cinema bus.


The conference working group would like to invite researchers, 
filmmakers and moving image artists, exhibitors, cultural workers, and 
activists involved in radical film culture to attend and share knowledge 
and materials with each other and comrades in the trade union movement. 
We welcome proposals for, but not limited to, academic papers of 20 
minutes or less, presentations of practice-based or in-progress 
research, workshops and skill-shares, and discussions. The proposed 
presentations will ideally invite active participation by the audience.


The working group is particularly interested in receiving proposals that 
might address the following topics:


-Radical rhetoric, poetics, and the essay film

-Politically engaged artist film

-Expanded and experimental approaches to political documentary aesthetics

-Dialogue between earlier radical cinema practices and current activist 
media/ film collectives

-Trade Unions and film, using the location of the conference in order to 
forge relationships between RFN practitioners and researchers and union 
activists


The conference will also host a workshop looking ahead to the 2018 RFN 
festival theme 1968-2018-2068 and invites those interested in 
participating and developing that event to share knowledge, partnerships 
and ideas. Additional workshops, guests, and events will be listed as 
confirmed on the RFN conference page 
<http://radicalfilmnetwork.com/conferences/>.


Please send a short description of your proposal for participation, a 
brief bio, any accessibility requirements, and if relevant, links to 
practice-based elements and technical specifications to 
(rfnconference17 /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(rfnconference17 /at/ gmail.com)>by 12 May.


The conference fees 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/15p7YWYlRnrfmQyuTP0pA_nYVsDFwnE4y0_O6EVjEOfk/edit?usp=sharing>will 
include access to the festival and delegates can choose to camp.
