Northumbria University’s Department of Arts, with financial support from 
the Arts and Humanities Research Council, presents *Re-thinking 
Histories of Popular British Film and Television*, a two-day conference 
to be held on campus at Northumbria University, UK, 15-16 June 2023.

Colleagues are invited to submit proposals for presentations on any 
aspects of “popular” British film and television history, broadly 
defined, which advance scholarly understanding in this area. This 
conference is intended to be a “state of the field” event – an 
opportunity to reflect on and reassess the past and look ahead to the 
future of British film and television historiography.

Papers might address, but are by no means limited to, the following themes:

  * Genre
  * Distribution/exhibition/circulation
  * Policy
  * Key figures in front of, and behind, the camera: e.g. actors,
    directors, producers, distributors, exhibitors
  * Promotional strategies
  * Methodological concerns
  * Preserving the past: archives and the future of British cinema and
    television history
  * Histories of British film and television within the academy
  * British films and television programmes in national and
    international contexts
  * Lost continents – which areas of production are overlooked today,
    and why?

Abstracts for single presentations, practical outputs, or panel 
proposals comprising the details of 3 presentations/works, should be 
submitted to (britishfilmandtvnorthumbria /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(britishfilmandtvnorthumbria /at/ gmail.com)>, by 24 February 2023. 
Acceptance notices will be sent out by the end of March 2023.

*Single paper/practical output proposals* must include:

  * Title of presentation/practical output
  * Name of speaker/creator, plus affiliation where appropriate
  * Abstract (300 words)
  * Speaker bio (50 words)

*Panel proposals* must include the above information for each of the 
three speakers, plus an overall title for the panel itself, and a 
rationale of 200 words.

  * £20 (employed)
  * £15 (students/precariously employed/unemployed)

Please send any questions to the organiser, Dr Johnny Walker 
((johnny.walker /at/ northumbria.ac.uk) <mailto:(johnny.walker /at/ northumbria.ac.uk)>).
