1. Quebec Cinema Conference 22-24 March 2007

See attachment.


***************************************************

2. Anglo-French cinematic relations since 1930. An international
conference hosted by the Department of Film Studies, Southampton
University, and supported by the AHRC. September 14 - 16 2007


Keynote Speakers: Pam Cook, Sarah Street, Robert Tombs and Ginette
Vincendeau.
 

Despite the close geographical, political and cultural links between
France and Britain, the dynamics of Anglo-French cinematic relations
remain critically understudied.  While numerous Anglophone studies have
been written on French film - and indeed Francophone studies on British
film - rarely do these works account for the dialectical interplay
between the two at the levels of production, distribution, exhibition
and reception.  In order to redress this balance, this conference is
aimed at an examination of the two-way flow of cinematic traffic between
France and Britain from 1930 to the present day, filling significant
gaps in our knowledge of British and French film and film personnel in
transit, and what this reveals about the respective cultures. The
conference will hopefully also have implications for the study of
Anglo-French relations more generally, and the study of European cinema
as a whole, as it moves away from the Hollywood / Europe axis which has
dominated studies of cross-cultural traffic, replacing it with an
engagement with inter-European exchange.  

The event will run in conjunction with a special exhibition, 'French
Cinema in Britain, 1930-present' and a series of screenings, to take
place at the Harbour Lights Cinema, Southampton. The conference will
also feature a panel of industry experts, discussing contemporary issues
in the distribution, exhibition and promotion of French cinema in the
UK.

Papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

Representations 
Production Contexts 
Distribution and Exhibition 
Institutional Discourses 
Promotion 
Stars and Auteurs 
Receptions and Perceptions 
Criticism and Theory 
 
Please send a proposal of 200 - 300 words for a paper of approx. 20
minutes, together with a brief biographical note by April 30th 2007 to
the conference organisers, Lucy Mazdon ([log in to unmask]) and
Catherine Wheatley ([log in to unmask]), Film Studies, Avenue
Campus, University of Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK.
