*_Call for Papers Summary_*

This conference follows Mark Shiel's argument that film is a spatial 
experience more than a textual one. It aims to aims to explore film 
space as more than simply a function of narrative, expanding discussions

  * Borders in the cinema
  * Philosophy and film: cinematic headspaces
