Film and Science: Fictions, Documentaries, and Beyond

October 30-November 2, 2008

Chicago, Illinois

www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory 

 

Please note our new, third-round Deadline: August 1, 2008

 
How broad-reaching and inclusive is your conception of science?  For Film & History, it can span from animation to race, and from pedagogy to virtual reality, 
with stops in between for extraterrestrials, explorers, icons and mad scientists.
The following is a list of our current and shortly forthcoming areas for Film & History's upcoming conference, "Film and Science: Fictions, Documentaries 
and Beyond" (Chicago, 10/30-11/2/08).  We are now entering the 3rd Round Call for Papers, and the revised deadline for all areas is August 1, 2008.

Featured speakers will include special-effects legend Stan Winston. Also scheduled for plenary sessions are noted scholars Wheeler Winston Dixon 
(author of Visions of the Apocalypse, Disaster and Memory, and Lost in the Fifties: Recovering Phantom Hollywood) and Sidney Perkowitz (author of Hollywood Science: Movies, Science, & the End of the World).

 For additional information on any of the areas, please consult our website: (www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory), and click on the "Areas and Contact Information" link
