SCREEN-L readers may want to consult the following URL (the News & 

Comment page of the 'MacGuffin' website: 

http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~muffin/news-home_c.html) for three recent 

announcements, more or less Hitchcock-related.  They occur at the head 

of the News section, about a quarter of the way down the page.  They 

concern: (1) a CFP on behalf of the Northeast Modern Languages 

Association (NeMLA) Conference to be held in Buffalo, New York, April 

10-13, 2008.  The topic is "The Image of the Prostitute in Film and 

Popular Culture".  ((This particular announcement was sent to me by my 

friend Dr Ted Price with a request that I disseminate it widely.)  (2) A 

call for contributions, including book and DVD reviews, to a new 

journal, 'Science Fiction Film and Television', which is biannual and 

peer-reviewed, and published by Liverpool University Press.   (3) A 

forthcoming major Hitchcock exhibition  (September 28 - December 9), 

called "Casting a Shadow: Creating the Alfred Hitchcock Film", to be 

held at the Northwestern University's Block Museum of Art in Evanston, 

Illinois - and later, in 2008, at the AMPAS in Beverly Hills, California.



I take this opportunity to mention that on the same webpage, near the 

top, are recent "Editor's Week" entries by yours truly on a variety of 

Hitchcock topics.  (One of them, on Hitchcock's cameo in PSYCHO, took 

'inspiration, I think, from correspondence to SCREEN-L a couple of 

months ago.)  Films referred to include: CHAMPAGNE, FOREIGN 

CORRESPONDENT, EASY VIRTUE, PSYCHO, Murnau's SUNRISE, THE BIRDS, and THE 

SKIN GAME.



Thanks - Ken Mogg (Ed., 'The MacGuffin')
