A focus on historical or more contemporary issues might examine single films or filmmakers, regional aspects or cinematic movements, or theoretical questions. Aspects of Brecht's relevance to international cinema not yet the subject of extensive research are particularly encouraged. This session is dedicated to the memory of the important Brechtian director Daničle Huillet, 1936-2006. If you wish to present a 20-minute paper in this session, send a one-page abstract and a brief CV outlining your relevant background by 23 March to Barton Byg, UMass Amherst, [log in to unmask] Note: The MLA Conference will take place in Chicago from Dec. 27-30, 2007. To participate in the panel, you must be an MLA member by April 1, 2007, and pay the conference registration fee by Sept. 1, 2007. I urge non-MLA members to contact me early about these logistical requirements. ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
