[Commlist] Call for Papers: Filmic Matter and Geographic Specificity

ILUMINACE announces a Call for Papers for its new themed issue:

Filmic Matter and Geographic Specificity

Guest editor: Byron Davies (Universidad de Murcia, Spain)
Deadline for abstracts: December 15, 2024
Deadline for submissions: April 30, 2025


This issue seeks to engage with how local contexts shape our
understanding of filmic materials within the realms of experimental
filmmaking, archival practices, film stock production, and broader
media ecologies. It aims to move beyond traditional Western-centric
frameworks, emphasizing regional and Indigenous perspectives that
bring to light the diversity of filmic materiality around the world.

materialist film practices: from experimental cinema and found footage
to animation and practices involving textiles and painting

anti-imperialist thought
*Global circulations of film theory and their impact on our notions of
filmic matter
*Archival challenges and the geographic particularities of collecting,
curating, and preserving film
*The ecological impact of film practices and the potential for
articulating degrowth visions through cinema
