Revelation Academic Conference
Part of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival (7-17 July, 2016)
Perth, Western Australia
Students, academics, independent researchers, filmmakers and film fans are invited to submit papers and proposals for the Revelation Academic Conference to be held as a part of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival (7-17 July 2016).
Returning for its fifth year, the conference is uniquely positioned as the only academic forum affiliated with a film festival in Australia, offering 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 mini-passes for the festival.
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 seeking papers on games and gaming, these may include papers on game culture, narrative in games, game design, alternative games, acting for games, and so on.
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 2016.
