We welcome expressions of interest to participate in the above workshop 
aimed at doctoral candidates and researchers working on Cold War film 
culture. The purpose of this event is to exchange views on current 
research projects in a collegial setting, and ideally create points of 
contact for future exchange. The workshop will focus on the “politics” 
of showing films, i.e., the influence of institutional actors from 
politics, culture and education on the circulation, canonization and 
preservation of films (organisations, archives, festivals, parties, 
ministries, universities, schools, foundations, museums, etc.). But the 
workshop theme also takes its cue from current debates about the 
politicization of prominent film festivals such as Cannes and Berlin. 
Our workshop welcomes researchers whose work deals with German-speaking, 
but also international film culture. We particularly welcome comparative 
perspectives that go beyond the dichotomy between East and West, Global 
North and Global South, and/or focus on underrepresented groups or 
cultures. In commemoration of the military coup in Chile 50 years ago 
and its impact on international filmmaking and screening practices, an 
evening film screening event will centre around the influence of 
international solidarity movements and policies on film screening practices.

Our workshop will comprise a series of roundtables and short 
presentations (10-15 minutes). We welcome expressions of interest (max. 
200 words) detailing your individual research area as well as what you 
would hope to gain from participating in the workshop. Expressions of 
interest should be sent via email to (a.mcewan.1 /at/ research.gla.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(a.mcewan.1 /at/ research.gla.ac.uk)>by Monday 18^th September 2023.

The workshop will take place in English.

Generous support from the DAAD means we can offer participants bursaries 
for travel (up to €180) and accommodation.

Any other questions related to the event can be directed to the 
organisers: (cms27 /at/ st-andrews.ac.uk) <mailto:(cms27 /at/ st-andrews.ac.uk)>and 
(a.mcewan.1 /at/ research.gla.ac.uk) <mailto:(a.mcewan.1 /at/ research.gla.ac.uk)>.
