Call for Proposals: The Third Annual Midwest Undergraduate Film Conference at the University of Notre Dame April 24-25, 2009 The Midwest Undergraduate Film Conference offers undergraduate students the opportunity to present papers representing their best work in film and media studies. Students will deliver papers on any aspect of film and media history, criticism, or theory. Papers will be given in twenty minute slots. Students who wish to participate in the conference must submit a title and abstract describing their paper (maximum 200 words). Students should also attach a brief (maximum 100 words) biographical statement stating their college or university, their major, their interest in film, and their academic goals. Proposals should include technical needs and contact information. Students must use appropriate submission forms, available online at <http://www.nd.edu/~ftt/submission.doc>ftt.nd.edu/submission.doc A panel comprised of Notre Dame faculty from the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre will select papers from among the proposals received. This is not an undergraduate film festival but an academic conference. Do not send student films. Student films may, of course, form part of a paper presentation but will not be screened outside the 20-minute time allocation.
