Screening Capital

Call for Papers
Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference 2005
London, March 31-April 3, 2005

of capital and the complexity of capitalist systems? Potential
topics include (but are not limited to) reality TV (The Apprentice),
guerilla TV (Paper Tiger), documentaries (Yes Men), avant-garde
film/video (Eisenstein’s Capital project) or feature films (Pi).
Papers focused on questions of representing global capital are
particularly welcome.
