Call for Papers

“London: Gateway to Cinema and Media Studies”

18-20 July 2019

Location
Notre Dame London Global Gateway
1-4 Suffolk Street
London SW1Y 4HG

As the inaugural event for SCMS Partners, the University of Notre Dame 
will partner with the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) and 
Kings College London (KCL) to present the summer symposium, “London, 
Cinema and Media Gateway,” July 18-20, 2019.

This symposium will bring together scholars for three days of discussion 
about London’s rich history and complex future in relation to cinema and 
media studies. The symposium explores the meaning and import of London 
in film and media studies as a production centre for film and TV 
production, as location, and as representation. It considers London’s 
role as a hub for distribution and global media
flows, and also for film theory and criticism. We seek papers that 
address the broad span of London’s history, from early film forward, as 
well as the changing landscape and meaning of London in the context of 
Brexit.

Possible topics to be explored include:
London in Film and TV
London as Location
London as Production Centre
London and Global Media Flows
London and Film Theory
London and Cultural Studies
London Festivals and Exhibition
London and Television Production
London, Film and City Branding
London and Media Consumption

Keynote, Thursday July 18 (held at Kings College):
Charlotte Brunsdon, Professor in Film and Television Studies, University 
of Warwick, author of Television Cities: Paris, London, Baltimore and 
London in Cinema: The Cinematic City since 1945

Participants do not need to be members of SCMS but members will receive 
a discount on their registration.

Proposals are due by February 1st, 2019. Proposals can be submitted via 
email to:

provide a block of rooms.
