MUSIC & THE MOVING IMAGE CONFERENCE XVIII
Conference at NYU Steinhardt: Thursday May 26th - Sunday May 29th
CALL FOR PAPERS
The annual Music and the Moving Image Conference invites abstracts for paper presentations that explore the relationship between the vast universe of moving images (film, television, streaming media, video games, and advertisements) and that of music and sound. We encourage submissions from scholars and practitioners, as well as from multidisciplinary teams that have pooled their knowledge to solve problems or to develop new perspectives regarding the relationship between music and moving images. Abstracts will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, and clarity of presentation.
Keynote Address: TBA
Keynote Panel: The Life and Legacy of Danijela Kulezic-Wilson
Paper abstracts (up to 250 words) should be submitted no later than December 17, 2021, via this link: https://form.jotform.com/212974970168164
Note: We are planning to run this program in-person for summer 2022; however, we must remain flexible in our response to COVID-19 developments. The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are our primary concerns, so remote programming may be a necessary alternative. We will provide updates as soon as guidance from NYU central is available.
