The Film Colloquium at the University of Washington is proud to announce
its First Annual Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Film Conference and
Short Film Festival.

Outside(r) Hollywood
May 18-19, 2000

Hollywood has long dominated the international cinema market, with a
proliferation of films produced and directed along a foreordained approach
to film as an artistic and social medium.  Analysis of the Hollywood
formula has generated an entire school of thought on the so-called Classic
Code of the Hollywood film.  And yet, one hundred years of cinematic
history has also witnessed the evolution of a spectrum of
counter-traditions to the Hollywood film.  Independent, foreign,
international, experimental, documentary, and short film all function as
resistant counter-codes, and the increasingly complicated interaction
between these realms of filmic approach and with Hollywood as a whole
demands entirely new ways of thinking about what it is that we call "the
Hollywood film."  Recently, even within the Hollywood film industry,
individual, carefully crafted films with non-traditional cinematic visions
such as "The Fight Club" and "American Beauty" provide a new twist to the
"Classic Code."  This conference seeks to plot out the theoretical issues
surrounding the interplay between realms of film, to further understand
resistance to the Classic Code, and to explore the critical nuances of
cinematic development.

The Film Colloquium invites graduate students to submit papers on all

 National and International Cinema in the Era of Hollywood Hegemony
