*Call For Submissions*


New Creative Praxis in Film and Television planned for May 6-7, 2022 
marks Istanbul Bilgi University’s fourth annual event dedicated to women 
and media.


Inspired by the principles of gender equality and sustainability – two 
of the core principles of İstanbul Bilgi University – the first in this 
conference series was Female Agency and Subjectivity in Film and 
Television in April 2019, with a book from Palgrave Macmillan published 
in November 2020.


Then came the March 2020 virtual conference Gender Equality and 
Sustainability: Agnès Varda’s Sustaining Legacy, with proceedings volume 
The Sustainable Legacy of Agnès Varda: Feminist Practice and Pedagogy in 
Cinema and Visual Arts (2021) forthcoming from Bloomsbury.

Finally, the Teaching Women’s Filmmaking in April 2021 featured 
Catherine Grant’s keynote and video essay as anchoring pieces for a 
prospective Open Screens special issue under peer review currently.


For 2022 we seek contributions from scholars and practitioners around 
the world that explore strategies, best practices, and past experiences 
when new forms with hybrid ways of storytelling on a variety of digital 
platforms transform the hierarchical relations of production.


We invite submissions focusing on the intersectionality expressed in 
subversive media practices that engage new digital technologies. We are 
particularly interested in how marginalized groups (i.e. LGBTQIA, Black 
diaspora, religious minorities, indigenous peoples, etc.) experiment 
with new forms of expression in contemporary digital and transnational 
media. We also welcome and encourage practitioners to submit their 
creative media work that may have been “abandoned” or “unfinished” to 
play up the complex, emotional, and often invisible labour in the making 
process. Such practices call for re-thinking creative subversion in 
praxis and the subjectivity that emerges from it.


The two-day conference will be held online, and aims to include 
practice-based work as well as traditional academic papers and 
roundtables. Regardless of format, each presentation will be limited to 
15 minutes. Contributions will be considered for published proceedings, 
whose format will be finalized after the conference.


The presentation format for creative film and media practices will 
consist of up to 10 minutes for screening the work (an excerpt may be 
selected if the full work exceeds this limit), followed by 5 minutes of 
commentary from the creator(s). The submitted work must not have been 
curated by any academic publications.


The committee is pleased to welcome award-winning filmmakers, scholars, 
and educators Dr C.A. Griffith and Dr Karen Pearlman as the featured 
keynote speakers for the two-day conference.
