[Commlist] Fwd: Call for contributions: Student video essay competition on queer media

Student video essay competition on queer media:


As part of the AHRC-funded Conference “Worldmaking around the world: 
rethinking the intersections of popular media, translation and LGBTQ+ 
activism across cultures”, University of Exeter, 21st-22nd May, 2021.


Further information about the event can be found on the project website: 
http://translatingforchange.exeter.ac.uk/

This competition is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.


What you need to do

Please create a video project 3-6 minutes in length. The video should be 
a creative-critical presentation on queer media related topics. Examples 
are (but are not limited to):


    Queer media and queer activism
    The transnational histories of queer cinema
    The image of LGBTQ+ people in media (e.g. film, TV and music)
    Queer culture and Pride film festival
    Appropriation and translation in global queer media flows
    Watching queer media during lockdown
    Translation/re-interpretation of/within queer media
    Communities in and of queer media
    Popular culture and queer cinema
    Translation and global queer culture
    BLM and queer solidarity in the media



The video might be in the form of “original scripted content” or combine 
aspects of a “video essay” which integrates clips of other videos or 
stills (which need to be cited, much as would be a quotation in a 
textual essay). The video should have a title and should include some 
credits that list the name and student ID (this can just be simply a 
shot of a handwritten or word-processed sheet).


Group work or joint work is also welcomed.


How to submit

When the video is made, send (t.guo /at/ exeter.ac.uk) a link (dropbox or other 
cloud storage) so that it can be downloaded to a computer. Deadline: May 
1st, 2021.


You may alternatively upload it to Youtube, BUT make your video is set 
to ‘private’ and include the link and password in your email. It is 
vital that you back up your video essay using a memory stick or other 
storage drive.


All video essays submitted will be reviewed by the judge panel of the 
conference. The results of the competition will be revealed by the end 
of May 2021. Winners will receive gift vouchers with values from 30 to 
100 GBP and a few video essays will be selected to screen publicly 
during the conference.
