Transnational, Transcultural,
Transmedial: European Cinema Today
An International Graduate Film Studies Conference
University College Cork, Ireland
14th - 15th of May 2010
Keynote Speaker: Professor Tim Bergfelder, University of Southampton
The concept of
European cinema has undergone a seismic shift in recent years as scholars
attempt to locate it within the context of ever-changing sociological, geographical
and political paradigms. Furthermore, the evolution (and arguable
democratisation) of the filmic medium through developments in new media and
technology, coupled with a residual dissolution of old orders/modes of
production, demands that an array of transnational, transcultural and
transmedial factors be taken into account in any debate on the topic.
Predicated upon the basis that cinematic space in Europe has become “a key
territory in which change could be imagined” (Rosalind Galt), this conference
seeks to address European cinema as it advances into the second decade of this
century.
