This is a call for papers for issue #56 of cineAction, an
international film journal published 3 times a year from Toronto
Canada. "Shifting Narratives",  the theme for issue#56 ,  is intended
to provoke a closer look at what actually counts as 'storytelling' in
films today. We are particularly  interested in investigations into
the ways in which (and reasons why) classical narrative conventions
seem to have been manipulated, transformed  or discarded altogether .
Some aspects that may be explored include the technological (e.g.
impact of videotape recorders and dvd players on filmwatching and
analysing ), formal/structural (e.g. television editing practices of
Sesame Street , MTV and commercials), and ideological (e.g.
independent film and non-classical, non-American, non-western films
and filmmaking practices).

Papers are to be submitted by July 1, 2001 with a mailed hard copy
and emailed file attachment (saved as text only). It would be
appreciated if a 50-100 word proposal be submitted/emailed by March15
directly to Susan Morrison , the editor of this issue.

All correspondence should be similarly directed to:
