Subject: African Lit (&Film!) Conference at Stony Brook
 
 
 
 
        I am writing to inform you all of a Call for Papers on relevant film
topics for the upcoming African Literature Association Conference being hosted
by Stony Brook this year. I am on the committee, which is Chaired by Anthony
Hurley in French Studies. The conference will run from March 27 to 31 1996, and
its theme is "Migrating Words and Worlds: Pan-Africanism Updated." Writers Kamu
Brathwaite, Shimmer Chinodya, Sonia Sanchez are doing key notes, and we are
still hoping to bring Chinua Achebe. For the main film event, I am working with
Manthia Diawara to bring the Mali film director and his brand new film (soon
showing at the New York Film Festivel) GUIMBA THE TYRANT. Diawara will also
show his new documentaries about Jean Rouch and Sembene. We will have other
film showings daily at the conference site.
        Please submit proposals for film panels or send in individual paper
proposals which the committee can form into panels as appropriate. All
questions and completed forms should be sent to Prof M.D. Ledgerwood, Dept of
French and Italian, University at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, N.Y. 11794-3359.
Phone 516-632-6914; FAX 516-632-9612; email [log in to unmask]

Papers form to you to fill out by October 1st, please.

American cinema, etc. Ideological, genre, feminist, historical, cultural
