> CFP: Migrant and Diasporic Cinema in Contemporary Europe
> An International Conference hosted by Film Studies and the Institute
> for Historical and Cultural Research, Oxford Brookes University and
> held at Lincoln College, Oxford, 6 – 8 July 2006
>
> With European cinemas becoming increasingly determined by
> multi-cultural and multi-ethnic presences and themes, critical
> paradigms which examine these cinemas in terms of their national
> specificity do not adequately address the shift from the national to
> the transnational which has occurred in all areas of European cinema
> during the past twenty-five years. This conference seeks to explore
> how migrant and diasporic filmmakers have redefined our understanding
> of European cinema. By adopting a comparative perspective in our
> search for the commonalities and specificities between migrant and
> diasporic cinemas across different European countries, we endeavour to
> transcend the borders and limitations of an analytical framework that
> privileges the concept of discrete national cinemas.

> Professor Hamid Naficy, Rice University, Texas

>
> The conference is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research
> Council. It is the first of a series of events organised by a Research
> Network which contributes to the AHRC Diasporas, Migration and
> Identities Programme.
