2. Network for European Cinema and Media Studies
At the beginning of a new milennium and at the beginning
of cinema's second century it seems reasonable
to claim an important place for cinema - and
other audiovisual media - in the history of the 20th
Century. Looking at two incisive changes in the sociopolitical
landscape - the enlargement of the European
Union to include countries from the former Eastern
block and the shift of audiovisual culture from indexically-
based reproduction technologies to the digital
- we intend to build a new kind of network in order to
foster and support international exchange in the domain
of cinema studies and fi lm culture.
With the foundation of the Network for European
Cinema Studies (NECS) we are pursuing multiple
aims: By providing opportunities for the presentation
of new research - publications, conferences, research
networks, workshops - we want to stimulate new developments
and create a public for new concepts and
ideas which will secure our discipline a place as an innovative
engine of the humanities. By stimulating the
participation of young scholars and researchers we
hope to contribute to the emergence of the next generation
of fi lm studies. By fostering exchange across
national, cultural, and linguistic boundaries we want
to deepen and intensify co-operation in order to make
truly comparative work possible. By providing a platform
on which research networks can build we hope
to make international co-operation a daily routine of
our trade.

3. Call for papers: Migrant and Diasporic Cinema in Contemporary Europe, Lincoln College, Oxford, 6-8 July 2006. The deadline has been extended to 27 January 2006.
Papers are invited for an International Conference on Migrant and Diasporic Cinema in Contemporary Europe, hosted by Film Studies and the Institute for Historical and Cultural Research at Oxford Brookes University, to be held at Lincoln College, Oxford, 6-8 July, 2006.
With European cinemas becoming increasingly determined by multicultural 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.
Confirmed keynote speakers include:
Professor Hamid Naficy, Rice University, Texas Professor Dina Iordanova, University of St. Andrews Professor Robert Burns, University of Warwick Pawel Pawlikowski, independent filmmaker (Last Resort, My Summer of Love)
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.
