Courtesy of Philip Holden-Moses, our volunteer web magician,
the evolving program for The American West(s) conference is
on the Film & History Web site. You might get a hankerin' to
attend once you see the list!
(Directions: Go to www.filmandhistory.org. Click off the pop-up
page. Click on Conference Information. Click on Conference Schedule.)
The conference has a broad set of topics, participants, and approaches. Join us in Kansas City, Missouri, November 7-9!!!
Comments: Individual subscription information on the web site
as well as information and FAQ's about the CD-ROMs. There are
also discussion items and essays on Saving Private Ryan, Amistad,
CNN's Cold War, and a host of other topics. The Table of Contents
for the last thirty years is there as well. The last two issues deal with The Holocaust in Film.
Next conference is in November, 2002 on The American West(s) in
Film, Television, and History at the Kansas City Marriott, Country Club
Plaza--just a few blocks from the Nelson Art Gallery, a major institution and just next door to the Kansas City Arts Institute. We are looking for energetic people to serve as Area Chairs and will put a list of existing and available Area Chair topics on the web site this summer.
The Luncheon is included in the registration fee: speakers
include Ray B. Browne, John Cawelti, and Jack Nachbar with special
focus on the impact of Cawelti's pioneering book, _The Six-Gun Mystique_
(1971).
Participating authors who have books they wish to have included
in the display in Kansas City should contact their publisher and make that request. The publisher should contact Debby Pitts at The Scholar's

Some years back, we produced a wonderful issue on the The American Frontier in Film and TV and we are going back to the well.
