Screening the Past: Special Issue
Cinema/Theatre
Guest Editors: Des O'Rawe and Sam Rohdie
Screening the Past is seeking contributions for a special issue  
devoted to the development of new writing on the formal and cultural  
relations between cinema and theatre. The editors wish to publish  
original articles that explore areas of aesthetic convergence between  
film and theatre, and that significantly develop upon or challenge  
existing studies in this field.
The editors welcome proposals that are developing innovative  
approaches to issues such as:
	•	The influence or legacy of theatre in the cinema of directors – or  
groupings of directors – with strong associations to both art forms  
(e.g. Nicholas Ray, Jacques Rivette, Max Opüls, John Cassavetes, Jean  
Renoir, Orson Welles, Elia Kazan, Sergei Eisenstein, Ingmar Bergman,  
Eric Rohmer, Jean Cocteau, Jacques Demy, Luchino Visconti, Kenji  
Mizoguchi, Otto Preminger, Robert Siodmak, Vincente Minnelli, Buster  
Keaton, Federico Fellini, F.W. Murnau, and Carl Dreyer);
	•	The historical and structural relations between specific theatre  
movements and the cinema (e.g. American radical theatre of the 1930s  
and Hollywood cinema; or theatre, film and the European avant-gardes);
	•	The significance of theatrical acting styles, performance  
elements, and staging techniques to the origins and transformations  
of cinematic mise en scčne (e.g. 'theatricality', scripting,  
improvisation, voice, gesture, choreography, dance, costume, etc.);
	•	The filmic integration or appropriation of theatrical genres,  
conventions, and motifs (e.g. melodrama, illusion and magic,  
vaudeville, puppets, masks, choruses, the circus, the clownesque, etc.);
	•	The influence of popular theatres and theatrical forms on Asian  
and other non-Western cinemas;
	•	The institutional and stylistic impact of the migration of  
European theatre directors, actors, technicians and impresarios to  
the U.S. in the 1930s;
	•	The relations between theatricality and documentary film.
Please send 500 word abstracts/outline proposals to both editors by  
31 August 2006.
