-- This is a ' call for papers' for issue #64 of CineAction, an international film journal published 3 times a year in Toronto, Canada. The theme of this issue is 'New Directions?' the intent being to open up for discussion questions of trends and directions in contemporary international cinema. Are we, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, witnessing any sort of transformation in filmmaking, production, distribution, reception? Have the parameters changed because of a recent move towards transnationalism or multi-nationalism in film production? Has American cinema 'won'? Is there still the possibility (or desirability) of a distinctly national cinema? At the same time, individual films and/or filmmakers may also be investigated for ways in which they challenge the conventions of the medium. Papers should be submitted in hard copy only, mailed directly to Susan Morrison, the editor of this issue. Once accepted for publication, the paper will then be emailed as a file attachment. The deadline for submission is May 15, 2004. It would be appreciated if a brief proposal be submitted by Jan. 30 as an indication of intention to submit. A style guide will be emailed on request. Please address all queries and submissions to the issue's editor: Susan Morrison 314 Spadina Road Toronto On Canada M5R 2V6 email: [log in to unmask] ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
