Film-philosophy continues to grow as an important discipline within the 
fields of both Film Studies and Philosophy. The Film-Philosophy 
Conference brings together scholars from all over the world to present 
their research on a broad range of topics within the subject area.

The 2012 conference will take place September 12-14, and will be jointly 
hosted by King’s College London, Queen Mary, University of London and 
Kingston University.

This year’s event will feature a special screening and workshop at the 
BFI Southbank, to coincide with their Hitchcock Retrospective.

We are open to any topics on the subject but would particularly welcome 
papers relating to the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

Other topics that will be considered include:
- New approaches to film and philosophy
- Considerations of individual films
- The debate between continental and analytic philosophy in relation to film
- Films about philosophy or philosophers
- Film and phenomenology
- Significant auteurs
- Studies of individual philosophers and their relationship with film
- The methodology of film-philosophy
- Ethics
- Cognitivism
- Film style
- Genre
- Media convergence

Abstracts should be 200 - 300 words long and papers, including clips - 
which we strongly encourage - should not exceed 20 minutes. We accept 
panel submissions with a maximum of three speakers and a length of 90 
minutes.


Both individual and panel proposals must be submitted through the 
conference website (no initial cost involved):
