The Political Economy of Local Cinema in the Digital Age: a critical 
approach

Deadline for abstracts:  JUNE 17

The digitalization and globalization of cultural markets present 
formidable challenges for local cinema. In this project the focus is on 
political economy or, more precisely, on the organization of the 
resources for the production, distribution and consumption of local 
cinema. For this collection, we seek contributions that engage with the 
way digitalization and globalization combine in challenging the 
commercial viability and in some cases the mere existence of local 
cinema as a distinctive form of storytelling.

While we encourage prospective authors to adopt a broad variety of 
perspectives, we especially welcome submissions that:

Look at local cinema from the analytical approach of critical political 
economy;

Engage with problems concerning the funding and sustainability of local 
cinema;

Problematize the effects of digitalization and globalization on local 
cinema and local audiences;

Adopts the normative standpoint of minorities;

Discuss the role of education in the actual and possible responses to 
the challenges of digitalization and globalization to local cinema;

The provisional schedule of this project is the following:

Deadline for abstracts: June 17

Communication of abstract acceptance and invitation to submit the full 
paper:  by June 24

Deadline for the submission of full papers:  September 30

Decisions concerning the acceptance of the full paper and the return of 
first drafts to authors with comment from reviewers:  by November 4
