Dear Maria,
I would suggest: of course we accept. Consider it as a Christmas
present.
It depends more of Alex Munt. How about his scedule?
All the best to all of you for 2012.

> This is a call for papers for the annual international conference on
> screenwriting research,
> this year organised by the Department of Media, Music, Communication
> & Cultural Studies
> at Macquarie University. The Screenwriting Research Network is a
> research group that
> commenced in 2006 within the Louis Le Prince Research Centre, at the
> Institute of
> Communication Studies (ICS), University of Leeds. The network has
> achieved a critical mass
> in recent years with conferences taking place in Leeds (2008),
> Helsinki (2009), Copenhagen
> (2010) and Brussels (2011). The fifth conference widens the
> geographic spread of the
> network to the Asia-Pacific, taking place in Sydney, Australia (2012).
> The international Screenwriting Research Network is comprised of
> scholars, writers and
> practice-based researchers devoted to rethinking the screenplay in
> relation to its histories,
> theories, values and creative practices. The aim of the conference
> is to continue, and
> expand, discussions around the screenplay and to strengthen a
> rapidly emerging, and
> global, research network. The Journal of Screenwriting, since 2009,
> stands testament to the
> vitality of the screenwriting network across traditional and
> practice-based research. This is
> in addition to growth in publication of screenwriting monographs by
> scholars in the
> network, for example screenwriting books by Stephen Price, Steven
> Maras, JJ Murphy and
> Jill Nelmes to name a few.
> The key theme of the conference is ‘Words & Images’. This speaks to
> the complex,
> intertwined, and ephemeral relationships between words and images
> that screenwriters
> negotiate. Alain Robbe-Grillet claimed ‘conceiving of a screen story
> would mean already
> conceiving of it in images’ (1961). While Gary Davis suggested that
> a screenplay is a ‘story
> told with word-pictures’ (Price: 2010). In the age of media
> convergence, screenwriting
> forms and practices intersect, in new and unpredictable ways, with
> other forms that unite
> words and images: the graphic novel, the comic, illustration, the
> graphic essay, visual arts
> and interactive media.
>
> Keynote speakers will be confirmed in the new year, 2012.
>
> We would like to invite abstracts for research presentations on (but
> not limited to) the
