We invite proposals for presentations on any subject related to film, media and philosophy for the Film-Philosophy Conference 2020 to be held at OCAD University and the TIFF-Bell Lightbox in Toronto. There is no overall theme or specialized topics for the conference. We will instead use a “track” system that provides a number of broad headings to which a presenter may wish to attach their submission. There is, of course, an Open track if you feel that your paper does not fit within any of the other tracks. The tracks for 2020 are (in alphabetic order):
• Affect and Emotion
• Aesthetics
• The Animal and the Non-Human
• Canadian Cinema
• Documentary and Essay Films
• Ecology
• Emergent Film-Philosophies
• Ethics
• Existentialism
• Expanded Cinema, Film Installation,
Video Art
• Film and Critical Race Theory
• Film-Philosophy Canon
• Film-Philosophy Pedagogy
• Gender and Feminism
• Indigeneity and Fourth Cinema
• New Materialism and Object-Oriented
Ontology
• New Media and Technologies
• Open
• Phenomenology
• Political Film-Philosophy
• Queer approaches to Film-Philosophy • Realism
• Religion, Secularism, Postsecularism • Workshops
We are only accepting individual proposals for presentations of 20 minutes.
We do not accept group proposals, except for Workshops. We are open to workshops that have alternative and innovative formats that provoke discussion and debate. If you have any ideas for a workshop – in format or content – please contact one of the conference directors before submitting an official abstract via the website.
We invite 300-word abstract proposals to be submitted by 31 January 2020. All abstracts will be considered by at least two members of the conference committee and decisions will be announced in March 2020.
