2nd Call for Chapters & Contributions
to
The
Radical Film Handbook: Organisation, Activism and the Moving Image
(edited by Steve Presence, Mike Wayne,
Jack Newsinger)
The Radical Film Network (http://radicalfilmnetwork.com/) was set-up in London in 2013 to support the growth
and sustainability of politically-engaged film culture around the world. Since
then the RFN has grown rapidly, and now consists of more than one hundred
organisations across four continents, from artists’ studios and production
collectives to archives, distributors and film festivals.
The Radical Film Handbook will combine contributions from organisations
involved in the network with those of leading academics, writers and activists
in the field in order to provide readers with an authoritative guide to the
critical issues facing contemporary global radical film culture. The editors
are calling for chapters and contributions to the book. Topics of interest may
include but are not limited to:
·
histories of
radical film cultures in different countries or regions;
·
new approaches
to production, distribution and exhibition;
·
the impact of
digitalisation on radical film practices;
·
organisational issues,
issues of sustainability, policy issues;
·
key filmmakers,
groups or movements;
·
definitions of
‘radical’ in relation to filmmaking (e.g. aesthetic, political, ethical
questions);
·
radical film and
its relationship with organisations in civil society;
·
personal
accounts of radical film practice.
If
you would like to contribute to the book, please email a short (no more than
500 words) summary or abstract of your proposed contribution AND one page CV
summary or short bio to [log in to unmask] by 28th February 2017.
We
are happy to discuss ideas. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best
wishes,
Steve
Presence, Mike Wayne and Jack Newsinger.
