1. New Chief General Editors from 2020

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that the new Chief General Editors of the journal from 2020 will be Ginette Vincendeau (King’s College London) and Mary Harrod (Warwick). I will be working with them over the next two years to ensure a smooth transition as well as working with them and colleagues from Lyon 2 to organise the 20th Anniversary conference of the journal.

*********************************************
2. Request for review articles

We are introducing a new review articles rubric for the journal. These will be published on an occasional rather than regular basis, as and when space becomes available in our annual page budget. We currently have 5 pages available for volume 18 no 4 (October 2018), equating to approximately 2000 words. If you would like to contribute a review article on recent publications in French cinema of either 1000-words all-inclusive or 2000 words all-inclusive, please contact Phil Powrie directly. You may find the bibliography of recent books in French cinema useful: http://baftss.org/special-interest-groups/french-francophone-cinema/resources-for-french-francophone-cinema/

We are particularly interested in books published in 2017. There are approx. 20 auteur studies, 10 on postcolonial literature and 4 books on sound. We would welcome review articles on these themes, but also welcome any suggestions that seem appropriate to colleagues.

Please note the deadlines:
- Suggestions for contributions 30 April 2018
- Submission of final copy 31 July 2018

4. Conference Cinéma-monde: Film, Borders, Translation (Stirling 24 – 26 May 2018)

The term ‘cinéma-monde’ has been coined and developed in recent years to respond to a shift in both the Francophone film industry (emergence of new production ‘hubs’ with a truly global reach, e.g. Montreal) and the way in which Francophone film is studied. This conference brings together filmmakers, along with scholars from North America, Scotland and elsewhere in the UK, to debate these issues via engagement with key faultlines around: the transnational; borders, movement and migration; inequalities and the world system; and language.

We are grateful for financial support from the Institute of Modern Languages Research (Regional Conference Grant), Edinburgh University Press, I.B.Tauris, the Quebec Government Delegation in London, and the Division of Literature & Languages, University of Stirling.

Registration:
Overall conference fee: £32 (£16 unwaged). This includes admission to screenings and all conference sessions; teas, coffees and lunches on 25th and 26th; and the reception on the evening of the 25th.
Single-day attendance is £16 (£8 unwaged), except for the film on the evening of the 24th, where you need to contact the MacRobert Centre box office directly to buy tickets: http://macrobertartscentre.org/

For the conference dinner on the evening of 25 May, please add £35 (this includes wine).
