CFP:  Film and Contemporary Art / Stan Douglas
Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference 2006
Vancouver, March 2-5, 2006

Since the 1960s--and more dramatically within the past decade--contemporary
artists have been working in with the moving image, and  film and video works
have increasingly found audiences within art galleries and museums. How do we
want to theorize the increasingly dynamic field of contemporary time-based art
within film and media studies? What is the relationship of these works-–and the
discipline of film and media studies-–to contemporary art history, and vice
versa?  What are the kinds of aesthetic, social, cultural, and political issues
we want to address within contemporary film art, and through what kinds of
critical rhetoric can these questions be most successfully framed? How might
contemporary film art invite us to reevaluate film theorical models originally
developed for the deconstruction of mainstream commercial media?

Submissions dealing with the films of internationally-known, Vancouver-based
artist Stan Douglas would be especially appreciated.
