> The Possibility / Impossibility of a National Cinema
>
> Seminar Organizer: Ozgur Cicek, SUNY Binghamton
> Within the complexities of globalization and immense mobilization,  
> cinema, more than anything else moves across boundaries and travels  
> the world in international film festivals. At that point, national  
> cinematic codes (if there is a way to define a cinematic code as  
> national?) and cultural commodities, cross boundaries, reach  
> diasporas, interact with different codes of narration and create the  
> grounds for transnational cinema. However, this definition ignores  
> the question of the possibility or the impossibility of a national  
> cinema within specific borders, and under specific titles like  
> “British Cinema”, “German Cinema” or “Turkish Cinema”.  
> From this standpoint, this seminar will explore the current dynamics  
> in national cinemas. We will focus on the films of diasporic  
> filmmakers, subnational ethnic communities, co-productions and  
> discuss how these films complicate matters about the term “national  
> cinema.”
>
> Suggested paper topics include but are not limited to:
>
> National and transnational cinema
> Diasporic Film-making
> Cinema and ethnicity
> Transnational and international stardom
> Foreign language film-making
> Bilingual or multilingual film-making
> Co-productions – international productions
> Auteur cinema as national cinema
> Genre and mid-genre
> Copyright and distribution
