The programme with abstracts for the SFC conference 2006 is now available at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/crif/sfc/conference.htm.

Transvergence and Francophone cinema
Wednesday 19 April 2006
Institut Français (Petite Salle), 17 Queensberry Place,
South Kensington, London SW7 2DT. Tel: 020 7073 1350

We are grateful for the continued and very generous support of the Institut Français

In seeking a term that could better embrace the cross-fertilisation practice that is cinema as a far-flung industrial practice and praxis, rather than use transnational or cross-fertilisation, we would like to propose the term coined by Marcos Novak, 'transvergence'. The aim of the conference is then to open up the concept of Francophone cinema to this term and concept. How we bring this about will be the very nature of our debates at the annual conference.

Papers will be pre-circulated. Each panel will begin with the Chair positioning the context for the papers (5-10 mins). Then the two speakers will have 10-15 mins to present their arguments as a series of open issues to be debated. The remaining 45 mins will be devoted to round-table discussion and debate, during which we hope that most of those attending will be able to participate.

If you would like to attend and receive pre-circulated papers, please send a cheque to Susan Hayward, Studies in French Cinema, Department of Film Studies, Queen's Building, University of Exeter, Exeter EX4 4QH. If you have any enquries, please contact: [log in to unmask] [Tel: 00 44 (0)1392 264 342]. Fees are £10 for SFC members, £15 for non-members, and £5 for student or unwaged. The fee does NOT include refreshments or lunch. Delegates are welcome to use the café of the Institut or the restaurants/bars in the surrounding area for refreshments/lunch. There are many hotels in South Kensington for delegates staying overnight.
