Submission Guidelines and Instructions: Extended abstracts should be 500-750 words, with standard font and margins. Deadline: The deadline for receipt of abstracts is April 15, 2025. Any submission received after midnight Pacific time on this date will not be considered. Final papers, no longer than 15 pages, double spaced, must be provided by July 30, 2025 in order to be distributed to all participants in advance of the symposium. This is crucial to the format and success of the symposium, where authors will be provided only 10-12 minutes to summarize, emphasize, or further develop the contents of the full essay. This condensed presentation time, combined with all participants reading each accepted paper and viewing relevant films in advance, is intended to allow substantial time for questions and discussion following each presentation. Please send all submissions as either a Word or PDF attachment to: ispifconference@gmail.com
