CFP: CineAction Issue #93  The City and Film



Film and urban theorists have noted the relationship between the  

development of the modern metropolis and the rise of the cinema, which  

remains a central component of modern urban culture.  This issue will  

explore the continuing connection between the two and how it’s  

expressed and continues to be relevant.  The cinema has shaped ideas  

about reality and in turn, has influenced how certain cities are  

perceived producing a dynamic relationship between the real, social  

world and culture.



Submissions can include the reading of a film dealing with a specific  

city such as New York or Paris or the city and genre films, the city  

as utopia or the city as nightmare.  The films can be from the  

mainstream, independent or documentary film.
