XI. Kinema Club Conference in Vienna, 25.-27.11.2011

[Roland Domenig]

Dear list,

it took longer than expected to put together the program of the Kinema Club Conference in Vienna, but now the program is complete. For the abstracts please visit the conference homepage: http://kenkyuu.jpn.univie.ac.at/index.php?id=334 (will be online by Monday evening).
There you also find a list of hotels and pensions in the vicinity of the conference site if you plan to attend the conference. Some students have volunteered to put up attending students privately. If you want to crash at someones place, let me know soon. Please be aware that the number of available places is limited - I can try to find a private accommodation, but I can't guarantee anything.
To register for the conference please send a mail to: roland.domenig at univie.ac.at
The registration fee (professors and shakaijin 30 Euros, students 15 Euros) covers the Kick-off visit to the Third Man Museum, the Diner reception on Friday evening and the excursion to the Breitenseer Lichtspiele theatre.
I hope I see as many of you as possible,

Roland Domenig
