ASEEES 2012: Boundaries in Film Studies - Screen, Medium, Discipline

[Anne Eakin Moss]

Dear Colleagues,

We have assembled what we hope will be an interesting group of papers  
for a three-panel series at ASEEES 2012 focusing on how Russian/Soviet/ 
Post-Soviet film engages with the screen as boundary, film as a  
medium, and film theory, tentatively called "Boundaries in Film  
Studies: Screen, Medium, Discipline." We're hoping that making this a  
series will encourage an on-going and wide ranging discussion of  
contemporary film theory as it relates to Russian and East European  
cinema and new media.

The three panels break down chronologically:

1) on pre-war cinema (Eakin Moss on the fourth wall and special  
effects, Papazian on Vertov [tentative], Shcherbenok on suture and  
diegetic objects),

2) on auteurs (Efird on Tarkovsky and Deleuze, Chefranova on  
remediation in Tarkovsky and Sokurov, and Wilson on Sokurov and  
auterism)

3) on post-Soviet cinema and new media (Gray on product placement in  
Bekmambetov, Shembel on Tarkovsky and new media)

We are in need of one more paper on post-Soviet cinema and/or new  
media. We also need some discussants and chairs. Please respond to  
Anne Eakin Moss (aeakinmoss at jhu.edu) or one of the other organizers if  
you are interested in filling any of these roles.

All best,
