[Commlist] CFP: Film Audience Conference - Oxford Brookes University

Tue Feb 11 08:12:06 GMT 2020






Film Audience Movements and Migrations: Across Borders and Screens


6-7 April 2020

Headington Hill Hall, Oxford Brookes University




This conference, organised by The Audience Project (TAP) interdisciplinary research group, focuses on academic scholarship and industry practices in film distribution, engagement and consumption. The event takes place at a vital moment in time when physical mobility, competition in the exhibition business and opportunities for access of audiovisual products through new technologies are all rising exponentially. The conference, however, aims to explore not only the contemporary environment of fluctuation but also the historical and future contexts for peoples’ movement (local, national and international) and their relation to filmic screens. It features international experts across academia (including sociology, history, media, communication and culture, film and television studies) and industry (media businesses, cultural institutions and government bodies). It provides a unique forum for new and topical scholarly research in the field as well as the opportunity to share research and know-how from a multitude of (inter-)national perspectives, initiating future collaborations across borders, disciplines and sectors.
