We are pleased to announce the return of the B-Film Annual Postgraduate 
Researcher Symposium for 2023: ‘Film and Television: Memory, Nostalgia 
and Identity’. This year’s symposium will be focused on Film and 
Television memory. We invite scholars to present on their relationship 
to Film and Television media in terms of nostalgia, childhood, 
sentimentality, trauma, and how that has potentially affected, or 
affects, our scholarship today. The scope is broad and we welcome 
personal interpretations of the theme.

The symposium will be held in-person at the University of Birmingham, 
Edgbaston. Travel grants from areas within the United Kingdom may be 
possible, please indicate in your proposal if this is something that may 
be of interest to you.

We also welcome those who may wish to present online via Zoom or 
similar. Video essays and research in videographic form may also be 
submitted.

We are also extremely excited to be working with Dr Cat Lester 
(University of Birmingham), who will be running a Careers Workshop 
specifically tailored towards PGRs in the morning.

We welcome proposals from a range of areas and themes related to media 
memory. Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:

  * Memories of cinema going and/or media consumption: VHS, cable, 
satellite
  * Media memory as identity forming
  * Culturally specific film memory
  * Fallibility of memory
  * Forgotten or repressed film
  * Analysis of media which deals with the theme of memory
