Focusing on the historical legacies and contemporary trends of folk 
horror across various geographical and industrial contexts of 
filmmaking, the symposium aims to facilitate an inquiry that unpacks 
social, cultural, and political meanings behind the current revival of 
the genre, and locates these meanings in local, national, regional and 
transnational settings of cultural production. Ranging from 
non-Anglophone histories of folk/paranormal horror, and the 
cross-cultural mobilities of the genre in various national and 
transnational contexts of film production, to the emerging issues of 
representation, identity politics, genre, style and inter-medial 
convergences of contemporary gothic narratives, the symposium will 
feature diverse methodological approaches to the study of folklore on 
screen by also intervening into the Anglo-American dominance of horror 
studies.
