Fwd: CFP: Contemporary Russian Cinema for the IX World Congress

[Maria Hristova]

Dear SEELANGERS,

My colleague at Yale, Dasha Ezerova, and I are thinking about
organizing a panel on contemporary Russian film for the IX World
Congress of ICCEES in August 2015 in Japan.  Some of you might
remember an email about this conference a few months ago. Their
website is http://www.iccees.org/ and the deadline for sending
proposals is May 31.

Considering the scope of the congress and our own interests, we have
conceived of a panel on contemporary Russian film in rather broad
terms. Tentatively, we would like to speak about New Trends in
Contemporary Russian Film or The New and The Old In Contemporary
Russian Film.  This will allow each of the panelists to explore and
present on a particular trend in contemporary Russian film that they
find most fascinating. So far, our respective papers will touch on the
themes of a new sacred and new mythologies in such films as “Я тоже
хочу” (2012) and “Небесные жены луговых мари” (2014) as well as the
re-imagining of nature and the countryside in “Географ глобус пропил”
(2013) and "Левиафан" (2014).

We are looking for a third panelist, a chair and one or two
discussants.  If you are interested in participating, please respond
to me off list at maria.hristova at yale.edu with some information about
yourself and a suggested topic.

Thank you for the attention,
Maria Hristova
