Final call for papers “Ireland and Cinema: Culture and Contexts”
Film Studies at University College Cork invites the submission of abstracts for a major conference titled “Ireland and Cinema: Culture and Contexts”.

Submitted abstracts should be accompanied by a brief biography, details of institutional affiliation, as well as email and other relevant contact information.
