Call for Papers

“London: Gateway to Cinema and Media Studies”

18-20 July 2019

Location
Notre Dame London Global Gateway
1-4 Suffolk Street
London SW1Y 4HG

As the inaugural event for SCMS Partners, the University of Notre Dame 
will partner with the Society for
Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) and Kings College London (KCL) to 
present the summer
symposium, “London, Cinema and Media Gateway,” July 18-20, 2019.

This symposium will bring together scholars for three days of discussion 
about London’s rich history and
complex future in relation to cinema and media studies. The symposium 
explores the meaning and
import of London in film and media studies as a production center for 
film and TV production, as
location, and as representation. It considers London’s role as a hub for 
distribution and global media
flows, and also for film theory and criticism. We seek papers that 
address the broad span of London’s
history, from early film forward, as well as the changing landscape and 
meaning of London in the context
of Brexit.

Possible topics to be explored include:
London in Film and TV
London as Location
London as Production Center
London and Global Media Flows
London and Film Theory
London and Cultural Studies
London Festivals and Exhibition
London and Television Production
London, Film and City Branding
London and Media Consumption

Keynote, Thursday July 18 (held at Kings College):
Charlotte Brunsdon, Professor in Film and Television Studies, University 
of Warwick, author of
Television Cities: Paris, London, Baltimore and London in Cinema: The 
Cinematic City since 1945

Participants do not need to be members of SCMS but members will receive 
a discount on their
registration.

Proposals are due by February 1st, 2019. Proposals can be submitted via 
email to:

provide a block of rooms.
