CFP: Australian Cinema (7/14/06; collection)
Call for Papers:
Compulsory Screening: Australian Cinema and the Question of Borders
The Westerly Centre at the University of Western Australia invites
abstracts for an edited collection of essays addressing Australian
cinematic experience in the light recent debates concerning
immigration, border security, refugees and the detention of asylum
seekers. We are interested in how these events have helped
precipitate a new understanding of nation and how this in turn might
have affected cinematic expression, changed the kind of films that
are produced, or made earlier films ring with new resonances.
