Dear Colleagues,
Since we are organising a panel focusing on the Polish-born filmmaker
Pawel Pawlikowski, who is AHRC Fellow in Film Studies at Oxford
Brookes University and who will be present at the conference
advertised below, we are still specifically inviting papers which
examine Pawlikowski's oeuvre in a transnational/transcultural context.
If you wish to contribute to the panel on Pawel Pawlikowski please
submit your abstract by 10 February.
CFP: Migrant and Diasporic Cinema in Contemporary Europe
An International Conference hosted by Film Studies and the Institute
for Historical and Cultural Research, Oxford Brookes University and
held at Lincoln College, Oxford, 6 – 8 July 2006
With European cinemas becoming increasingly determined by multi-
cultural and multi-ethnic presences and themes, critical paradigms
which examine these cinemas in terms of their national specificity do
not adequately address the shift from the national to the
transnational which has occurred in all areas of European cinema
during the past twenty-five years. This conference seeks to explore
how migrant and diasporic filmmakers have redefined our understanding
of European cinema. By adopting a comparative perspective in our
search for the commonalities and specificities between migrant and
diasporic cinemas across different European countries, we endeavour
to transcend the borders and limitations of an analytical framework
that privileges the concept of discrete national cinemas.
Confirmed keynote speakers include:
Professor Hamid Naficy, Rice University, Texas
Professor Dina Iordanova, University of St. Andrews
Professor Robert Burns, University of Warwick
Professor Deniz Götürk, University of California Berkeley
Pawel Pawlikowski, independent filmmaker (Last Resort, My Summer of
Love)
The conference is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research
Council. It is the first of a series of events organised by a
Research Network which contributes to the AHRC Diasporas, Migration
and Identities Programme.
