[ecrea] CFP: Film Distribution, Exhibition and Consumption in the Second WorldWar: A Workshop

FILM DISTRIBUTION, EXHIBITION AND CONSUMPTION DURING THE SECOND WORLD 
WAR. A Workshop on Data Collection and Analysis, Computational Methods 
and Opportunities for Comparative Research.

KU Leuven, Belgium, 15 and 16 May 2018


Within the specific time frame of the Second World War, this workshop 
brings together researchers who study the distribution, exhibition and 
consumption of cinema in belligerent and neutral countries. Following in 
the footsteps of ‘Cinema and the Swastika: The International Expansion 
of Third Reich Cinema’ (Vande Winkel & Welch, 2007, 2011 revised) and  
drawing on the field of ‘New Cinema History’ (Maltby, Biltereyst & 
Meers, 2011), this workshop brings together researchers who are 
compiling and analysing empirical data about wartime film distribution, 
exhibition, reception in or across specific cinemas, cities, regions or 
countries. The workshop, organised by the Institute for Media Studies 
(IMS) and the Scientific Research Network on Digital Cinema Studies 
(DICIS), strives to stimulate collaboration among scholars and to 
explore new methodologies and new types of interdisciplinary 
investigation, taking full advantage of the impact of digitalization on 
historical research (digital humanities).

Hands-on workshop to share individual experiences about the use of 
digital tools and sources; to compare and interrogate specific research 
questions and methodologies; to discuss the pros and cons of existing 
databases and methods to analyse; to think about ways to make 
computational databases 'talk to each other' (through data modelling and 
harmonization), allowing direct comparative research; to discuss the 
sustainability of such initiatives.
