Läänemeremaade filmiajalookonverents “Off the Radar: Moving Images, Exhibition and Distribution Practices”

Läänemeremaade filmiajalookonverentsile on nüüd võimalik esitada ettekannete ettepanekuid. Konverents toimub 4.-5. detsembril 2026 Leedus, Vilniuses. Konverents keskendub sel korral audiovisuaalsetele praktikatele, mis on filmiteaduses sageli jäänud n-ö radari alt välja: haridus- ja õppefilmid, ringvaated, amatöör-, teadus- ja tööstusfilmid, laiendatud ja segatud audiovisuaalsed vormid, filmide näitamise ja levitamise praktikad, kadunud või fragmentaarsed filmiajalood, feministliku ja queer-kino narratiivid ning transmeedialised kultuuriprotsessid.

The conference Off the Radar: Moving Images, Exhibition and Distribution Practices invites scholars, archivists, artists, curators, and researchers to explore overlooked, marginal, unstable, and hybrid audiovisual cultures. The conference, which has usually focused on the Baltic Sea region, is for the first time collaborating with the Visegrád countries and invites researchers to explore cinematic processes throughout the long twentieth century and into the present. Bringing together perspectives from cinema and media studies, media archaeology, visual culture, cultural history, archival studies, anthropology, and related disciplines, the conference seeks to rethink the history of cinema beyond canonical narratives, national frameworks, and established institutional histories.
