I'm in the process of working with the Society for Cinema Studies and the University Film and Video Association to see if either of these academic societies would like to co-sponsor SCREEN-L. I figure a listserv would be ideal for distributing announcements of conferences, job openings, journal calls for papers and the like. Even papers themselves could be distributed if we set up a file server to accompany the SCREEN-L listserv. Could the SCS and/or UFVA members on SCREEN-L drop me a note at the address below (please don't use REPLY, unless you want the entire list to know of your membership), so that I could get a sense of how many of these folks are already aware of SCREEN-L. Thanks. And if anyone would like to help set up liasons with SCS and UFVA, please notify me. SCS has already set up an ad hoc committee to look into the idea. ---------- America is the greatest of opportunities and the worst of influences. --George Santayana-- ---------- | | Bitnet : JBUTLER@UA1VM | | Jeremy G.
