CFP pre-constituted panel(s) on film festivals

The NECS 2012 Conference (www.necs-initiative.org)

"Time Networks: Screen Media and Memory"

Lisbon, 21st-23th June 2012
hosted by the New University of Lisbon and the University of Coimbra

In preparation for the sixth annual NECS conference in Lisbon next  
year we
would like to invite scholars working on film festivals (especially  
members
of the Film Festival Research Network & Film Festival Research Work  
Group)
to submit paper proposals for one of more pre-constituted panels.

The panel(s) will be open to papers on all aspects of research  
relating to
film festivals, but we specifically invite papers on the conference  
theme of
'screens and memory'.

Panels may consist of 3 to 4 speakers with a maximum of 20 minutes  
speaking
time each. All presenters are obliged to provide a title, an abstract  
of max
150 words, 3-5 key bibliographical references, name, institutional
affiliation and a short bio of the presenter. We ask anyone interested  
in
participating in a film festival panel to send their completed  
proposal to
Marijke ([email protected]) by JANUARY 15, 2012 to  
allow time
for preparation of the overall panel(s) description(s) and submission  
before
the general submissions deadline on January 31, 2012.

In addition we are thinking about organizing a workshop on the  
relations and
collaborations between scholars and festival(s) (professionals),
provisionally entitled "Academics and Festivals: On the Flow of Labour,
Expertise and Influence Between". If you're interested in contributing  
to
such a workshop, please send an email to Marijke before DECEMBER 22,  
2011.

The conference language is English. Conference attendance is free, but  
NECS
membership is required to participate in the conference. For the terms  
of
NECS membership, please see the website. Participants will have to cover
their own travel and accommodation expenses. Detailed information on  
NECS
and the Lisbon Conference will be posted on www.necs-initiative.org.

Kind regards,
