[ecrea] Exploitation Cinema in the 21st Century - Registration now open.

*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.
