What's This Space?
Screen practice, audiences and education for the future decade.
The spaces in which screen stories are viewed and the way in which we 
consume them has, and is continuing to change rapidly. This years ASPERA 
conference will examine, discuss and explore the multiplicity of screens 
and the impact they have on production, education, screen communities 
and audiences in the 21st century. We invite you to consider how 
traditional creative screen practices are changing and being challenged 
by the range of screens we now engage with, the content we consume and 
the spaces in which this is undertaken. We will be publishing fully 
refereed conference proceedings again this year, via the ASPERA website.
