CALL FOR PAPERS
Hidden Cinema of the Southwest and Mexico
February 26th, 2011
University of Arizona
Center for Creative Photography
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 Mexico?s 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
internationally-known Center for Creative
Photography is an archive and research center
that retains the archives of Ansel Adams, Edward
Weston, Garry Winogrand, Harry Callahan, and
other great 20th century photographers?over fifty archives in all.
