Join us this year as a returning or first-time participant in the scenic Southwestern city of Albuquerque! Our area is concerned with the impact of motion pictures on our society and how films represent and interpret history. Presentations can, for example, feature analyses of individual films and/or TV programs from historical perspectives, surveys of documents related to the production of films, or analyses of history and culture as explored through film. Genres could include historical films attempting to define history, propaganda films, documentaries, docudramas, newsreels and broadcast media, war films, music videos and concert films, reality shows, avant-garde, cinema verite, actualities, and direct cinema. Listed below are some suggestions for possible presentations and/or panels, but topics not included here are also welcome: · Historical eras and coverage of historical events · Popular culture · Politics and government · Gender · Ethnicity, race, and class · Sports and leisure · Science and technology · Religion and spirituality · Pedagogy · Film schools and theory If you wish to form your own panel within the Film & History area, we would be glad to facilitate your needs. Roundtable sessions and international participation are also encouraged. ---- Learn to speak like a film/TV professor! Listen to the ScreenLex podcast: http://www.screenlex.org
