Call for participants in the symposium

Movie Theatres in Wartime: Comparative Research on Film Distribution and 
Exhibition During World War II

Amsterdam, 4-6 June 2020

Scholars are hereby invited to sign up for a hands-on symposium on film 
exhibition and distribution during World War II. The purpose of the 
symposium is threefold:
(1) Developing and sharing methodological expertise in compiling, 
analysing and comparing data on historical film programming;
(2) Gaining more insight in the transnational patterns of film supply 
and demand during the war, across belligerent and neutral countries;
(3) Building and strengthening a network of scholars with a shared 
interest in the topic.

The symposium is co-produced by CREATE (University of Amsterdam) and 
DICIS (Scientific Research Network on Digital Cinema Studies) and hosted 
by the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the 
University of Amsterdam. It will consist of two  main segments: a 
seminar with brief presentations, and a workshop where participants will 
work hands-on with the collaboratively collected data. Participants in 
the symposium are requested to compile, in advance, a data set that 
consists of film programming  data, according to a fixed data model, in 
order to allow for comparative analysis. Afterwards, all data will be 
made publicly available in an open access environment.
