[Commlist] CFP: Futures of Chinese Cinemas conference

*Futures of Chinese Cinemas*

*University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), May 19 & 20, 2023*


        *Conference Description*

This conference examines the current state of Chinese film culture, 
production, and scholarship and its impact on world cinemas in the 21st 
century. Growing from two previous film conferences held at UNNC that 
examined Chinese cinemas ('100 Years of Chinese Film & Screen' in 2021, 
and 'Chinese Film Aesthetics' in 2022), this conference shifts its focus 
to examining the contemporary landscape of Chinese film and Chinese film 
scholarship, including emerging developments, movements, and other 
phenomena.

It will be a hybrid conference, with both in-person and online 
presentations. Due to the current travel situation, we anticipate that 
people from outside China will probably be unable to attend in-person.
