[Commlist] Call for Documentary/Activist Films, Video Art Projects and Activist Talks

*Call for Documentary/Activist Films, Video Art Projects and Activist Talks*

*11^th Annual IIPPE Conference – **Ferrara, Italy, 9–11 September 2020*

c.MET05 (National University Centre on Applied Economic Studies*)*

The International Initiative for the Promotion of Political Economy 
(IIPPE) is inviting submissions of film and video art projects, and 
activist talks.

IIPPE is one of the largest international networks of heterodox 
political economists with a critical approach to neoliberal capitalism. 
Part of IIPPE’s objectives is to establish links between academics, 
artists, filmmakers and activists who are working for a more just and 
equal world.

In parallel with the academic conference, IIPPE will feature a film 
screening and discussion programme that addresses major issues affecting 
our world such as poverty, climate change and environmental crises, 
migration and displacement, gender equality, international development, 
privatisation, banking and financial fraud, the global economic crisis, 
the rise of the extreme right, armed conflicts, neocolonialism, etc.

Documentary filmmakers and video artists are invited to submit work of 
around 20 – 90 minutes duration, to be screened followed by a 
discussion. Activist presentations or workshops may be of a similar 
duration. Films which do not have English as their main language must 
have English subtitles. Work will be screened as a digital video file, 
and the creator of the work or a representative with significant 
involvement in research or production must be present for the discussion 
session.

The IIPPE conference provides a unique opportunity for networking, which 
includes a conference dinner.

IIPPE is independent of any academic institution and entirely funded by 
presenter’s fees. Conference fees will be waived for film makers and 
activist presenters (apart from an €30 IIPPE membership fee which needs 
to be paid). Please note that cost for travel and accommodation can 
unfortunately not be subsidised by IIPPE.
