CFP: Migrant and Diasporic Cinema in Contemporary Europe
An International Conference hosted by Film Studies and the Institute for 
Historical and Cultural Research, Oxford Brookes University and held at 
Lincoln College, Oxford, 6 – 8 July 2006

With European cinemas becoming increasingly determined by multi-cultural and 
multi-ethnic presences and themes, critical paradigms which examine these 
cinemas in terms of their national specificity do not adequately address the 
shift from the national to the transnational which has occurred in all areas of 
European cinema during the past twenty-five years. This conference seeks to 
explore how migrant and diasporic filmmakers have redefined our understanding 
of European cinema. By adopting a comparative perspective in our search for the 
commonalities and specificities between migrant and diasporic cinemas across 
different European countries, we endeavour to transcend the borders and 
limitations of an analytical framework that privileges the concept of discrete 
national cinemas.


Confirmed keynote speakers include:
Professor Hamid Naficy, Rice University, Texas
Professor Dina Iordanova, University of St. Andrews
Professor Robert Burns, University of Warwick
Pawel Pawlikowski, independent filmmaker (Last Resort, My Summer of Love)

The conference is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. It is 
the first of a series of events organised by a Research Network which 
contributes to the AHRC Diasporas, Migration and Identities Programme.
