events, the 2021 conference builds upon the network’s previous work 
examining the continuing transformations of audiovisual 
practice,**to investigate the reconfigurations of screen industries, 
cultures, spaces and places through examining sites of production, 
infrastructures of circulation, film festivals, film tourism, and city 
branding. In short, the way place/space intersects with the multiple 
sites of production, circulation, promotion and consumption surrounding 
screen (incl. Film/TV, games, interactive arts) industries and 
cultures. The conference will explore the more established scholarship 
related to these topics (film festivals, city 
branding, transnational co-production, film/TV tourism) as well as 
expanding the conversation to represent the newly established or 
emerging topics (e-sports, virtual concerts).

The conference will be a hybrid (physical/virtual) event hosted by the 
School of International Communications at the University 
of Nottingham Ningbo China (CN), in partnership with King’s College, 
London (UK) and Queen’s University (CA). As ever with BtSN events, the 
theme of the conference is deliberately expansive to 
bring together interdisciplinary perspectives and we welcome 
scholars emerging and established to submit proposals for 
papers, video essays, and short films**dealing with topics such as:

  * Sites of production, promotion, and consumption
  * Infrastructures of circulation
  * Transnational co-productions
  * Media festivals and theatrical exhibition
  * Film festivals
  * E-sports
  * Virtual events / concerts
