Meeting Description:

James Cameron, a widely acclaimed contemporary Canadian film director, defines
the crux of the filmmaking business in a nutshell: “I'm a storyteller; that's
what exploration really is all about. Going to places where others haven't
been and returning to tell a story they haven't heard before” (USA Today, May
24, 2013).

As if to confirm this view, on 29 April 2014, the first public celebration of
National Canadian Film Day was organized, including widely popular screenings
of Canadian films, panel discussions hosted by recognized Canadian filmmakers
and numerous debates about Canadian films across the country. Due to a
significant print and media coverage and even the recognition in the House of
Commons, this inaugural event instantly became a huge success. From this day
onwards, National Canadian Film Day has become an annual event held all across
Canada with the main purpose of celebrating Canada through Canadian film. The
organizers of this national event state that way back in the past it was the
railroad that tied Canadians all together, whereas in the 21st century another
kind of cohesive track is needed –film!

Inspired by the recent public recognition of film in Canada, the Association
for Canadian Studies in Serbia (SACS) and the Faculty of Philology of the
University of Belgrade are pleased to announce the 8th International
Conference hosted by the Faculty of Philology to be held in Belgrade, Serbia,
22-23 April 2017. It is relevant to note that the title of the conference
primarily refers but is not limited to films created in Canada and directed by
Canadian directors. Any examples of films testifying to Canadian experience
and made outside Canada by non-Canadian filmmakers are extremely welcome!

Inspired by the recent public recognition of film in Canada, the Association
for Canadian Studies in Serbia (SACS) and the Faculty of Philology of the
University of Belgrade are pleased to announce the 8th International
Conference hosted by the Faculty of Philology to be held in Belgrade, Serbia,
22-23 April 2017. It is relevant to note that the title of the conference
primarily refers but is not limited to films created in Canada and directed by
Canadian directors. Any examples of films testifying to Canadian experience
and made outside Canada by non-Canadian filmmakers are extremely welcome!

Papers to be presented in either English or French are warmly invited from all
disciplines as well as from multidisciplinary perspectives. In the general
context of film, the Conference would like to achieve a clearer picture of
contemporary Canada and its modern sensibility represented through this
artistic medium. 
The following suggestions for topics move from the very broad to the more
particular and circumscribed, but of course in no way do they exhaust the
multitude of possibilities:

- Social issues (abortion, divorce, gambling, gay marriage, prostitution,
marijuana and hard drugs)
- Problems facing the Aboriginal People of Canada (Child Welfare Programs,
Cases of Missing Aboriginal Women,    destiny of native lands, history of
residential schools, mythology)
- Multiculturalism and Ideology of democracy and equality in education, arts,
sports
- Economy, globalisation and geopolitics: challenges and perspectives
- Class, race, gender, age, minority differences in the context of ethnic and
cultural diversity
- Canada: current political challenges (Temporary Foreign Workers, healthy
environment, identity politics)
- Canadian literature on film: adaptations, influences, developments, trends
- Canada in visual arts: theatre, photography, video, architecture, drawing,
painting, perorming arts, conceptual art.

Contributions may come from the fields of film studies, sociology, history,
literature, psychology, economics, linguistics, geography, arts, architecture,
social sciences, philosophy, journalism etc. 

Please send the proposals to Vesna Lopičić: canadafilmed2017 at gmail.com   
Deadline for submissions: January 1, 2017. 

Please submit your theme, a 200-word abstract, your affiliation and a
five-line CV. Please find the registration form below. 

We look forward to receiving your accounts of Canada Filmed stories and to an
exciting program.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
