 >>> Message from the 2003 UFVA Conference Host, Karla Berry
Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to invite you to the 2003 University Film and Video
Association Conference July 22-26 at the University of South Carolina. Our
theme of "Preservation and Convergence" will guide our planning of special
events and sessions including topics such as film preservation, New Media
technologies, traditional Hollywood entertainment, international
collaborations, and southern media arts. The conference co-chairs will
assemble daily schedules from your panel and screening proposals.
Registration packets are in the mail. All registration and application
forms are available now on the UFVA web site (
<http://www.ufva.org/conference.php).>http://www.ufva.org/conference.php ).

If you have attended UFVA conferences before, you will be familiar with the
schedule. Each day, Wednesday through Saturday, there will be four sessions
of panels and screenings. Sessions begin at 8:30 and 10:30 in the morning
and at 1:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon, with mid-morning and mid-afternoon
coffee breaks. There will be four or more events to choose from during each
session. Please use the enclosed forms to propose a paper, panel, or
screening and mail it to the address listed on the form. Co-chairs will
assemble panel and screenings schedules.

You must be an active member of UFVA to attend and participate in the
conference. Please note the following steps necessary for attendance and
participation:
1. Complete a membership application or your membership renewal form and
mail with payment to the UFVA Membership office.
2. Complete the appropriate proposal form and submit to the co-chair listed
on the form.
3. Complete the Registration Form and return with payment to the host
institution.

The Paper/Panel Application form is for proposing either an individual
paper or a complete panel. We invite submissions on any topic relating to
the history, criticism, production, or pedagogy of film, video, and new
media. Individual papers will be selected and then scheduled according to
subject matter. Panel proposals should include a list of panel members and
their institutional affiliations.

The Formal Screening/Respondent Application is for members who would like
to submit their work for critique and discussion. Preference is given to
completed work, but works-in-progress may be selected for the sake of
providing critical feedback from other members. You are also encouraged to
volunteer to serve as a formal respondent to the submitted works. You do
not have to screen work to respond to work. Complete the Juried Screening
and Judging Application if you would like to have your work included in the
juried competition. Only the winners of this category will be screened. The
Media Writing/Respondent Application is for writers who want to have their
scripts read and discussed in a seminar setting. Special instructions are
on the form.

The New Media/Respondent Application is for presenting and/or responding to
computer-based works such as CD ROM's, web pages, interactive media, or
media installations. This year we plan to exhibit the new media works in
the McMaster Gallery. We can provide some Macintosh kiosks for viewing and
presentation. Please contact me as soon as possible to inquire about
specific equipment or space needs.

As in the past, there will be special events planned throughout the
conference week. On Wednesday Eastman Kodak, a longtime UFVA supporter,
will host a reception followed by a special presentation. Join us for a
southern picnic in the gardens of a historic home on Thursday evening. I
encourage you to attend the Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday
afternoon. This is the one time each year when the membership meets in
formal session, with the Board of Directors, to discuss and vote on issues
of concern to the organization. No other events will be scheduled during
this time. The Saturday evening banquet is the final event of the conference.

I know that it can be hot in South Carolina in July, but all buildings are
air-conditioned. Both on-campus and hotel lodging is conveniently located
near McMaster College where the conference events will take place. All of
the dorm rooms are suites with only two rooms per bath. The Clarion
Townhouse Hotel is just across the street from McMaster College and
provides a free airport shuttle for those staying at the hotel. The
Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) is served by most major airlines. I
suggest you also check fares for Charlotte, NC (CLT) and
Greenville/Spartanburg, SC (GSP) airports. Each of these airports is about
90 miles from Columbia.

The Department of Art looks forward to welcoming you to Columbia, South
Carolina this summer. More information about the conference will be
available soon on the UFVA web site. We will also send reminders of
registration and reservation deadlines via email. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email ([log in to unmask]).
