The Revelation Perth International Film Festival is calling for papers for its 2018 Academic Conference.
Students, academics, independent researchers, filmmakers and film fans from across the world are invited to submit papers and proposals for the Revelation Film Festival Academic Conference to be held as a part of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival (which runs from July 5-18 2018).
Returning for its seventh year, the conference is uniquely positioned as the only academic conference affiliated with a film festival in Australia. The conference offers an opportunity for academics, filmmakers and audiences alike to come together and explore the possibilities of cinema.
Over previous years we've seen papers on all manner of topics, and have had attendees coming from Europe, USA and across Australia.
All registered attendees receive tickets to festival screenings, meals and other benefits.
There are no limits on topics, but we are especially interested in papers that explore modern independent film, world cinema, documentary movies, new and emergent genres, neglected cinema histories, and alternative perspectives on any aspect of film and film theory. This year we are also looking for papers on sound and music in film.
Abstracts (no more than 200 words please) and proposals for panels (no more than 300 words) should be submitted to jack@jacktext.net by the end of April 2018. The conference will run on Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 July as part of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival, in Perth, Australia. Revelation is proudly supported
