Hi all,

Happy New Year to all!

With apologies for any cross-posting, I should like to draw your
attention to the above conference, the full CFP for which follows this
message. I should like to record my thanks to Dina Iordanova and Alex
Marlow-Mann for letting me know about this list.

The ECRF is in its twelfth year, and it has been striking how British
cinema has often been somewhat underrepresented in previous events. We
should like to address that and the BAFTSS list might help us in that
endeavour.

If you are interested, please do send in an abstract, and circulate the
CFP widely amongst friends, colleagues and contacts. We would be very
grateful. Please all let your postgrads now, as we are very happy to
support their research where we can.

We look forward to hearing from you!

All best wishes,

Owen

** The ECRF is an international research forum, supportive of both
established and new researchers. The forum actively encourages exchange
and development, and the annual conference is always open, friendly and
lively!  Each year a different university around the world hosts the
annual ECRF conference. Last year’s conference was held at McGill
University in Canada, the year before at the University of Exeter (UK)
and the year before that at Binghamton University (USA). All Welcome!
