"2007 Cinema" Panel at PCA/ACA Boston 2021
2007 has been heralded as one of the best in film history. Numerous exceptional films were released, and some actors and directors reached career pinnacles with their 2007 work (the Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, Daniel Day-Lewis, George Clooney). I am soliciting 250-word abstracts on any topic related to films from that year, whether as single-film studies, comparative analyses, or studies in cinematic trends. Your presentation can involve films from other years, as long as the 2007 film plays a central role in the argument. I am especially interested in essays on any of the following films:
American Gangster
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Away from Her
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
The Counterfeiters
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
I’m Not There
Juno
Persepolis
Ratatouille
The Savages
Taxi to the Dark Side
Please submit your abstracts through the national conference website, but notify me of your interest in this panel.
