PANEL DESCRIPTION:   F I L M    S T U D I E S
I am looking for papers in a selective but open-ended fashion, where applicants can choose from several topics, time periods, directors, actors and languages, so long as they have an explicit argument to make. Proposals on Global Cinema (Indigenous or First Nations Cinema, French, Vietnamese, German, African, Latin American) are more than welcome, as well as papers dealing with form and content, and the use of music and editing in the Hollywood narrative. Your paper may concern film movements such as Neorealism, New Queer Cinema, European or Asian New Wave cinema, Dogma 95, German Expressionism, Mumble Core, Blaxploitation, Italian Futurism, American Indiewood and Garbage Mouth Cinema. Also welcome: arguments dealing with genre films such as noir, samurai, horror,romantic comedy, BroMance cinema, science fiction, the war film, fantasy, as well as documentaries, cult movies, children's films, silent films, caped crusaders, anime, comedies and
 Japanese pinku movies. Directors of interest and concern could just as well deal with films by Agnès Varda, Shohei Imamura, QT (is back!), Terry Gilliam, PIXAR, Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Hal Ashby, Wong Kar Wai, Sophia Coppola, Catherine Breillat, Paul Thomas Anderson, Alfred Hitchcock, Miranda July, Ousmane Sembène, Fellini and more.  I am open to any kind of discipline and approach to cinema, and additionally, I am open to grouped proposals as well.  If you know someone of more interest, please feel free to forward this to any other interested parties.
For those of interest in my Film Studies panel (or in other humanities-based disciplines such as Asian Literature, Autobiography, Critical Theory, Chaucer and so on), please submit proposals online by MAY 4TH at http://www.pamla.org/2010
I look forward to hearing from you.
