[Commlist] Fiction Filmmaking as Research Call for Contributions

*_Call for chapter contributions for /Fiction Filmmaking as Research/ _*

We are delighted to open a call for chapter contributions to a new book 
on */_Fiction Filmmaking as Research _/*which will be published with 
*Routledge* and edited *by Agata Lulkowska *and*Lee-Jane Bennion-Nixon*.

Fiction serves as the imaginative manifestation of our ideals, fears, 
and aspirations concerning identity, desires, and actions. We are 
compelled to reconcile our existence and significance within the fabric 
of our reality. Therefore, fiction films serve as powerful cultural 
artefacts that can influence and reshape societal perceptions, and 
powerful tools with potentially radical implications.  If fiction 
possesses such profound potential as a vehicle for comprehending the 
multifaceted intricacies of human identity, it follows that the craft 
inherent in the filmmaking process—underscored by collaborative 
creativity—ought not to be discounted or perceived as obscure. Utilizing 
process-led reflexive praxis, our objective for this volume is to 
facilitate increased utilisation of fiction filmmaking within a research 
framework. Whether this entails critical examination of the creative 
process or offering support to fellow researchers in their fiction-based 
research endeavours, our aim is to foster a deeper engagement with the 
potential of fiction filmmaking as a methodological tool.

The focus of this volume is the exploration of ways in which fiction 
filmmaking functions as research. Aimed at emerging and experienced 
filmmakers moving into academia or scholars reaching for fiction 
filmmaking as a method of investigation, we are interested in exploring 
the potential of fiction filmmaking in generating a new contribution to 
knowledge. Filmmaking-based research tends to centre around non-fiction 
and essay film, and we are determined to shed more light on the 
potential of different roles and departments contributing to the success 
of fiction filmmaking.

*We would like to invite contributors working with/thinking about 
fiction filmmaking to consider the way in which they contribute to 
knowledge through their practice*.

Please send a short *abstract (300-500 words) by Monday 20^th May at 12 
noon* to

Agata Lulkowska ((agata.lulkowska /at/ staffs.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(agata.lulkowska /at/ staffs.ac.uk)>) and Lee-Jane Bennion-Nixon
