Ten years on from the ‘Colour and the Moving Image’ conference in 
Bristol, the study of film colour has grown impressively. While the 
majority of research has been undertaken on early 20th century colour 
processes, far less is known about the introduction and application of 
colour technologies from the second half of the 20th century onwards. As 
stocks such as Eastmancolor, Agfacolor, and Fujicolor became cheaper, 
national film industries increasingly converted to colour, exhibiting a 
variety of aesthetic, cultural, economic and intermedial approaches to 
its application.

We are pleased to announce our call for papers for the*‘Global Colour 
and the Moving Image’*conference which aims to attract speakers on 
themes, countries and contexts that will add to our knowledge of the 
origins and nature of colour film’s increasing ubiquity since the 1950s. 
The conference is organised by the AHRC-funded ‘The Eastmancolor 
Revolution and British Cinema, 1955-1985’ project between the University 
of Bristol and University of East Anglia in an attempt to reach a 
greater understanding of the multiple, comparative complexities of 
global colour and the moving image.

We are seeking individual papers or panel proposals (consisting of three 
or four papers) of up to*20 minutes*which are invited on, but are not 
limited to, the following themes:

  * Comparative histories and applications
  * Film colour and its intermedial contexts
  * Colour and genres
  * Film stars and colour
  * Histories and case studies of particular film stocks / processes
  * Colour, avant-garde and experimental practices
  * Colour and television
  * Colour and advertising
  * Technicolor after Three-Strip
  * Costume and set design
  * Methodologies for studying film colour
  * Issues of preservation and restoration
  * Digital colour technologies and aesthetics
  * Colour theories and the moving image
  * Colour and film industry economics
  * Colour, audiences and reception
  * Colour in amateur and industrial films
  * Invisible labour in the colour industries – laboratories, etc.
