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, 27-28 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

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?

proposals comprising the details of 3 presentations/works, should be 
submitted (tobritishfilmandtvnorthumbria /at/ gmail.com)
