*Call for Papers  (closes January 13th 2027)*

**

/Screen /editors Rosalind Galt and David Martin-Jones welcome proposals 
for single papers, and pre-constituted three-person panels on all topics 
in screen studies.

We also encourage contributors to a programming strand which will focus 
on the theme of *‘Screen Interventions’*.

The study of film and television has a long history of exploring the 
interventions that audiovisual media make into everyday life, in 
contexts public and private and in ways political and intimate. More 
strongly, to intervene might be to step in, to intercede, to shift the 
direction of events, or to prevent violence. Intervention can be a 
cultural practice, an intellectual claim, or a moral imperative. This 
year’s Screen Conference asks: what interventions do audiovisual media 
make in our contested contemporary moment? We invite interrogation of 
the many sites and agents of intervention, whether textual, 
institutional, or emerging from collectives (human or otherwise). In a 
world which many would consider in crisis – politically, 
environmentally, economically, inter alia – what screen interventions 
are required?

Possible entry points include, but are not limited to, the exploration 
of film/television/media with respect of:

  * political aesthetics, screen activism
  * Third, Fourth, and Fifth cinemas
  * collective audiovisual practices, community building
  * material resources and histories (e.g. archives, restitution,
    preservation)
  * festivals, curation, programming
  * institutions, exhibition practices, private/public space
  * film cultures and public spheres
  * mobility (including but not limited to migration)
  * decolonial modes of thinking/thought
  * the national and the global
  * queer and trans worldmaking
  * nonhuman agencies
  * coloniality, race, indigeneity
  * inequality, precarity, labour
  * film, media, law
  * military interventions

Keynote speakers who will address this particular strand of the 
conference will be confirmed in due course.

As ever, the Screen Conference is also keen to receive proposals that 
are not necessarily aligned to the theme, and therefore welcomes papers 
on *_any topic or subject _*relevant to the wider field of global film 
and television studies.

We look forward to receiving your proposals.
