<\/p>\n CALL FOR PAPERS European Cinemas, Intercultural Meetings: Aesthetics, Politics, Industry, History<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Conference date: Friday 13th and Saturday 14th November 2015 More radically than ever before, European countries \u2013 and even the idea of the continent \u2013 are being shaped by international relationships and pressures, and by meetings and clashes of cultures, identities and traditions. Simultaneously, its cinemas are undergoing changes in many respects, in terms of genres and aesthetics as well as of production and distribution. On the one hand, the notion of transnationalism, that has been used for some time to capture these changes and move beyond national frameworks for the study of film, is currently being extended to account for an increasingly cosmopolitan, global imagination that is reflected in contemporary European lifestyles, as well as in the aesthetics of contemporary European cinemas. On the other hand, film production and distribution often transcend national boundaries, and so do the new digital platforms for film dissemination and consumption, thus creating new market configurations as well as new transnational audiences. The growing impact of mobile social media contributes to forming an increasingly participatory, networked transnational spectatorship. EU funding for the cinema is at once adapting to and shaping these trends, as does contemporary EU policy on film and the media.<\/p>\n The objective of this conference is to address and discuss the implications of both novel and past intercultural meetings for European cinemas and their consequences on its history, identity and evolution through discourses of aesthetics, politics and industry.<\/p>\n Keynote Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n Abstracts<\/strong> are invited on topics related to European Cinema, Intercultural Meetings: Aesthetics, Politics, Industry, History, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n Abstract Submission:<\/strong> Please submit your abstract (max 300 words) along with key references, institutional affiliation and a short bio (max 150 words) or a panel proposal, including a panel presentation (max 300 words) along with (no more than four) individual abstracts.<\/p>\n Submission Deadline:<\/strong> May 4th<\/sup> 2015.
