The Film-Philosophy Conference 2016 will be held at the University of Edinburgh from 6-8 July.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Film-Philosophy Conference 2016 at the University of Edinburgh invites proposals for presentations on any subject related to film and philosophy. There is no single overall theme.
http://www.film-philosophy.com/conference/
We are experimenting with using a “track” system that will provide a number of broad headings to which a presenter may wish to attach their submission. There is, of course, an Open track if you feel that your paper does not fit within any of the other tracks.
The tracks for 2016 are:
· Open Track
· Existentialism and Film
· Film and Ethics
· Film and the Other Arts
· Video Essays / Essay Films
· Gender and Sexualities
· Form and Evaluation
· Global Film-Philosophy
· Film and Political Philosophy
· Religion and Film
Continuing in the spirit of experimentation, we are only accepting individual proposals for presentations of 20 minutes. There will be no panel proposals. We hope that the track system will allow for papers to group organically around common themes and approaches.
We invite 300-word abstract proposals to be submitted by 29 January 2016.
All abstracts will be considered by at least two members of the conference committee and decisions will be announced in March 2016.
