The deadline for submission of paper abstracts for the
1st International Film and Media Conference in
Istanbul, Turkey, from June 16th through 18th, 2006,
has been extended to April 7, 2006.
Keynote speakers include:
Theo Angelopoulos, acclaimed for his films such as
Ulysses' Gaze and The Weeping Meadow.
Prof. Thomas Elsaesser (University of Amsterdam)
Prof. Hamid Dabashi (Columbia University)
Prof. Jan Olsson (Stockholm University)
As previously announced, the title of the conference
is, Shifting Landscapes: Film and Media in European
Context and the aim is to address the complex and
intertwined issues in European film and audiovisual
media arising from the transformations in technology
and social/urban landscapes, and in the macro forces
of economics and politics. These changes have
significant implications for the production,
distribution and exhibition/consumption of European
audiovisual works, thus creating new micro-realities
"within" and "across", and beyond the bounds of
nationality, geography, space, language, ethnicity,
race, gender and sexuality, age, socioeconomic status,
etc. We invite contributions from researchers and
professionals from a broad cross-section of related
schools and disciplines.
Suggested areas of inquiry include (but are not
limited to):
• Production/Distribution/Exhibition
• Film/Media and identity
• Gender
• Race/Ethnicity
• Political economy
• Urban topography/architecture and film/media
• Consumption/consumer society
• New media technologies
• Digitization
• Globalization/Regionalization
• Film/Media reception
• Questions of cultural imperialism
•
Territorialization/De-territorialization/Re-territorialization
• Cultural Heritage/Preservation
