Call for papers
WOMEN AND THE SILENT SCREEN V
Pauline Brunius
In view of the upcoming December 15 abstract submissions deadline for The Fifth International Women and the Silent Screen Conference to be held at Stockholm University, Sweden, 11 – 13 June 2008, we wish to present our keynote speaker:
Professor Jane Gaines (Columbia University)
Title: "Women and the Cinematification of the World"
A plenary panel at the conference will be dedicated to archival work, a special focus of this conference. Archival screenings of material from the Swedish Film Institute and the Netherlands Film Museum will be an important part of the program.
The conference will also include scholarly panels related to women and cinema during the first four decades of film history. The historical and theoretical issues include the roles of women as directors, screenwriters, producers, distributors and actors, but also as filmgoers.
Women and the Silent Screen V invites its participants to scholarly exchange in the open and dynamic spirit that has characterised the four previous conferences in Utrecht, Santa Cruz, Montréal and Guadalajara. The Stockholm conference takes place in the Department of Cinema Studies, located in Filmhuset in the capital city of Sweden, with the excellent archival resources and screening facilities of the Swedish Film Institute.
Abstracts (200 – 300 words) together with a paper title and a two-line biographical statement should be submitted by January 5, 2008, to wss@mail.film.su.se
Please feel free to contact the conference coordinator, Sofia Bull, with enquiries, at wss@mail.film.su.se
