[Commlist] Call for Papers // 2027 Screening Scholarship Media Festival (SSMF): MODES

Title: 2027 Screening Scholarship Media Festival (SSMF): MODES

Cienna Davis is excited to share the Call for Proposals for this year’s 
Screening Scholarship Media Festival (SSMF)! For those unfamiliar, SSMF 
is a hybrid academic conference and film/media festival organized by the 
University of Pennsylvania's Center for Experimental Ethnography 
(CEE) and the Center for Advancing Multimodal Research Arts (CAMRA), 
with a focus on multimodal scholarship. It is a unique space for 
creative, nontraditional, and experimental academic work alongside 
performances, workshops, and multimedia presentations.
This year's theme is MODES, returning us to the central question that 
animates the festival: What does it mean to produce knowledge multimodally?

In this year's call, we invite proposals exploring the expansive 
possibilities of multimodal knowledge-making. Across story, sound, 
image, performance, movement, media, and creative practice, we seek work 
that examines the diverse modes through which knowledge is created, 
shared, experienced, and transformed beyond traditional academic texts. 
We accept submissions in a variety of formats including: AUDIO/ VISUAL 
ART/ RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS/ POETRY/ FILM & VIDEO/ WORKSHOPS/ 
PERFORMANCE/ INTERACTIVE MEDIA.

SSMF offers a wonderful opportunity to share work, connect with others 
engaging in multimodal research arts, and be part of a vibrant 
creative-academic community.
You can find the full CfP with submission guidelines at:

Submission deadline: December 20, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST.
Festival dates: April 2–3, 2027
We hope you consider participating and sharing this CfP widely across 
your networks!
Feel free to reach out to Cienna Davis ((cienna /at/ sas.upenn.edu)) if you 
have any questions!

**No payment from the authors will be required. Funding for travel, 
production, or elaborate staging is also not available.
