“Cinema in the Interstices”, the inaugural conference of Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media seeks to explore interstitial spaces: transitions, gaps, junctures where a ceding or progression to a different way of thinking or being occurs. We welcome proposals for papers in a broad range of film-related areas such as:
- Film/video/digital video
- Web/digital technologies
- Sound/silence
- B&W/colour
- Language/subtitles/voice
- Genre hybridity
- Amateur/professional
- Documentary/fiction
- Production/spectatorship
- Gallery/cinema
- Avant-garde/classical
- Intertextuality/adaptation
We are also happy to receive proposals that expand the theme of interstitiality beyond the parameters listed here.
A selection of the conference papers will be included in a peer-reviewed Alphaville issue on the same topic to be published in 2013.
Abstracts of 300 words and a short biographical note should be sent to alphavilleconference2012@gmail.com. Pre-formed panels (of 3 or 4 people) will also be considered. Panel proposals should be sent in the same format as paper proposals, in addition to a 100-word thematic synopsis of the panel. The deadline for all abstract submissions is 6 April 2012. Papers should be 20 minutes in duration.
