[Commlist] RGS-IBG 2026 Film Geographies call for films

Film Geographies invites submissions of short films for the RGS-IBG 
annual conference responding to the annual theme. This year it is 
‘Geographies of inequalities: towards just places 
<https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/chairs-theme>‘
We invite short films (20 mins or less) that speak to the theme, 
particularly films that address ‘spatial inequalities and injustices 
…relating to society, culture and politics, to the economy, and 
community, and to development, climate and the environment.'
We also welcome films that showcase ‘the role of geography in making a 
difference beyond the academy, in informing policy or practice about 
specific inequalities or injustices, in engaging in activism, 
campaigning or advocacy work to resist or overcome injustices, in 
engaging diverse public audiences with such work, or in offering 
practical solutions to the challenges of inequalities.”
The theme also speaks to reflexive work on our role as the extractors of 
knowledge when carrying out research and concerns about the worsening 
state of precarity in the academy more broadly, whether related to 
redundancies, the mis-use of fixed term contracts, and the closing of 
departments focusing on equality, diversity and inclusion.
What kind of film? We accept any Format/genre: ethnographic, fiction, 
documentary, animation, experimental, interactive, immersive, 
participatory etc (Note we cannot accept or review any films made solely 
to promote a course, department or institution)   When submitting please 
state whether your film is 1. Completed film 2. Work In Progress 3. 
Student Film Length < 5 mins or 5-20 mins
Deadline: 31 March 2026
