University of South Carolina
Film Symposium

Orphans  O4 *

On Location:
Place & Region in Forgotten Films
March 25-27, 2004
http://www.sc.edu/filmsymposium

The University of South Carolina will host its fourth symposium on the
preservation, study, and use of orphan films. Again the USC Film Studies
Program and the Film Library bring together an eclectic mix of moving
image archivists, cinema scholars, preservation experts, curators, and
filmmakers who work with orphaned material. Selected speakers will lead
three days of presentations, screenings, and discussion. *

We invite presentations on the role of orphan films in recording,
representing, constructing, and imagining the world. What do regional
and local cinemas tell us about the places where they were made? What
'creative geographies' are produced by the likes of home movies,
newsreels, travelogues, ethnographic, educational and industrials
documentaries, silent movies, science films, indie features and other
neglected motion pictures? How do local and regional, national and
global issues affect the preservation of and access to moving image
materials? How are ideas about particular spaces and landscapes shaped
by forgotten films? *Orphans '04 will examine how neglected media
artifacts create a sense of place, from the home of home movies to the
world of the world-wide web.

For optimal consideration, send a one-page abstract to [log in to unmask]
