EXTENDED DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS

What are the relationships between film and memorialisation? This
question underpins the nature of the conference with responses from
presenters and moving image screenings. This question may be reflected
through, yet not restricted to, themes of film and video, cinema and
public space, home movies, and archival film, or more philosophically
directed through issues of place and space, the built environment,
identity and self, history and past, loss and trauma, and absence and
memorial.

The conference invites film makers, artists, curators, writers, poets,
historians, philosophers, architects and other thinkers to explore the
ways in which film and memorialisation can be interlinked and from this,
what are the fundamental concerns with such a merger when placed in
context to the conference themes/sub-themes:

Film and Video: filmic mediums, filmic representations, remembering
film?Home Movies: family narratives, oral history, private films, filmic
diary,?Archival and Found Film: lost memories, forgotten places and
people, ?Architecture: house and home, structures of
significance?History and Past: heritage and narrative?Identity and Self:
awareness and interpretation, being.?Cinema and Public Space: filmic
placement, meeting places, impact of the image,historical intervention.
Absence and Memorial: honoured places and events, remembered pasts Place
and Space: remembered places, emotive locations?Loss and Trauma: feared
images, impactful narratives, events of significance?Mind and
Remembrance: subjectivity, interior spaces, philosophy of mind

Papers are invited for contributions to the 1st International Conference
on Film and Memorialisation in collaboration with the School of Design,
