CFP: New Directions?

[Susan Morrison]

This is a ' call for papers' for issue #64 of CineAction, an international
film journal published 3 times a year in Toronto, Canada. The theme of
this issue is 'New Directions?' the intent being to open up for discussion
questions of trends and directions in contemporary international cinema.
Are we, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, witnessing any sort
of transformation in filmmaking, production, distribution, reception? Have
the parameters changed because of a recent move towards transnationalism
or multi-nationalism in film production? Has American cinema 'won'? Is
there still the possibility  (or desirability) of a distinctly national
cinema? At the same time, individual films and/or filmmakers may also be
investigated for ways in which they challenge the conventions of the
medium. 

Papers should be submitted in hard copy only, mailed directly to Susan
Morrison, the editor of this issue. Once accepted for publication, the
paper will then be emailed as a file attachment.
The deadline for submission is May 15, 2004.  It would be appreciated if a
brief proposal be submitted by Jan. 30 as an indication of intention to
submit.
A style guide will be emailed on request.
Please address all queries and submissions to the issue?s editor:
