Call for papers

B-Film, the University of Birmingham’s interdisciplinary research centre 
of film scholars, opens its PGR Symposium on *‘Glocal and Regional 
Cinema’* to all postgraduate researchers. Whether by exploring regional 
variations within individual nations or the role played by the local in 
global cinema, this symposium strives to put diverse manifestations of 
cinematic modes, genres, and styles in dialogue with one another.

This event is aimed at bringing PGRs from different academic 
institutions together to discuss their research in a welcoming and 
supportive environment. The initiative also intends to stimulate 
reflection on glocal and regional cinema in order to facilitate 
exchanges of ideas and encourage different approaches to the topics 
covered. The proceedings will take place in English and papers should be 
no more than *20 minutes* in length.

Keynote Speaker: *Dr Alex Marlow-Mann* from the University of Kent.

Dr Alex Marlow-Mann is a specialist in European cinema, with particular 
expertise in the cinema of Italy. He has published widely on regional 
cinemas, the politics of popular genre cinema, cognitive theory, film 
and emotion, and film preservation. His research interests include the 
distinctions and intersections between national/ transnational/ regional 
cinema and ‘popular’/ ‘art’ cinema, interests which are developed in 
/The Routledge Companion to World Cinema/, which he co-edited, and the 
associated Routledge series /Remapping World Cinema: Regional Tensions 
and Global Transformations/. He is currently completing a monograph on 
/The Political Thriller in Its Global Context/, forthcoming from 
Edinburgh University Press.
