>Hidden Cinema of the Southwest and Mexico is a 
>one-day symposium focusing on how and why 
>amateur, industrial, educational, and 
>independent filmmakers have represented the 
>American Southwest and Mexico. We wish to help 
>cultivate a more comprehensive understanding of 
>the Southwest's and Mexicos cinematic past by 
>showcasing and analyzing the ways the region has 
>been imagined in hidden and lesser-known films 
>produced by non-Hollywood and amateur filmmakers 
>during the last century. We seek proposals that 
>offer historical, critical, and global 
>interpretations that illuminate the region's 
>hidden cinematic history. We define 'hidden 
>cinema' broadly but priority will be given to 
>proposals that steer clear of widely distributed 
>or well-remembered Hollywood films. We ask that 
>presenters accepted to the program will be able 
>to provide visual components (moving images 
>and/or photographs) to illustrate their paper presentations.
>We encourage scholars, archivists, filmmakers 
>and students to submit proposals about hidden 
>cinema in the Southwest, Mexico, or the 
>Borderlands. Please email your 250 to 300-word 
>description of your proposed presentation, a 
>brief description of the materials you wish to 
>exhibit at the symposium and a short biography 
>to 
>(submit /at/ hiddencinema.org)<mailto:(submit /at/ hiddencinema.org)> 
>by November 15, 2010. Symposium presentations will be 30-45 minutes in length.
>The symposium will be held at the Center for 
>Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, in the 
>heart of the Southwest and less than 100 miles 
>from the US-Mexico border. The
