CFP: European Cinema Conference, July 2009

[Donald Loewen]

Greetings.
I'm posting the following Call For Papers on behalf of my colleagues; 
please respond with questions or a proposal to Ingeborg Majer-O'Sickey ( 
imos at binghamton.edu ) or Brian Wall ( bwall at binghamton.edu ) by February 
15, 2009.
All the best,
Don

The Department of German and Russian Studies and the Department of Cinema
    at
Binghamton University (SUNY)
will host the
Annual Conference of the European Cinema Research Forum (ECRF)
July 9-12, 2009

EUROPEAN CINEMA:  EXPERIMENT, MAINSTREAM AND PRAXIS

The conference will explore European Cinema, looking at those films and 
directors, movements and aesthetics that might be considered "Art 
House," and considering whether these work with or against European 
"mainstream" cinema. The conference will consider both theory and 
praxis, and explore the nature of European cinema, both present and 
past, through the works of directors, movements and ideas that have 
informed these cinemas. Participants are invited to consider such areas 
as European cinema and its engagement with border crossings between 
European and other cinemas; representations of intersections of 
(trans)gender, sexuality and race in European cinemas; New Cinemas in 
Europe; European filmmaking praxis and European production ideas, and more.

Papers should be thirty minutes (including clips). We look forward to 
your proposal (ca. 2 pages) by February 15, 2008 to Ingeborg 
Majer-O'Sickey (imos at binghamton.edu) and Brian Wall (bwall at binghamton.edu).
