As the
inaugural event for SCMS Partners, the University of Notre Dame will partner
with the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) and Kings College London (KCL) to present the summer symposium, “London, Cinema and Media Gateway,” July
18-20, 2019.
This
symposium will bring together scholars for three days of discussion about London’s
rich history and complex future in relation to cinema and media studies. The
symposium explores the meaning and import of London in film and media studies
as a production center for film and TV production, as location, and as
representation. It considers London’s role as a hub for distribution and global
media flows, and also for film theory and criticism. We seek papers that
address the broad span of London’s history, from early film forward, as well as
the changing landscape and meaning of London in the context of Brexit.
Possible
topics to be explored include:
- London in Film and TV
- London as Location
- London as Production Center
- London and Global Media Flows
- London and Film Theory
- London and Cultural Studies
- London Festivals and Exhibition
- London and Television Production
- London, Film and City Branding
- London and Media Consumption
