[Filmfestivalresearch] NECS 2014 cfp, pre-constituted panel "Festival Origins"?

Wed Dec 4 23:18:00 CET 2013

Dear all:

This burgeoning panel already sounds great. In general, I will be very interested to read more on film festival origins and history and to collaborate with those who are working on this subject. Hopefuly someone will eventually propose a paper on two notable anniversaries in 2014: Oberhausen at 60 and Sundance at 30.

Good luck!

HI Jeffrey, Kirsten and all -

I would like to add a suggestion for a potential paper on this panel that I believe would complement nicely the other two.  I propose a paper on the origins of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, which began in 1960 as "Week of Greek Cinema",  later re-named as "Thessaloniki Film Festival" (while still focused on the national output), and finally expanded into an international festival in 1996. Its origins in the attempts to establish recognition for the national film industry at a time of affluence and abundance of Greek films can be insightfully contrasted with its current and more contested role as a showcase for the national production. Please let me know if you would be interested in such a paper.

All best,

Lydia

Hi Jeffrey and All,

I would be very interested in contributing to a pre-constituted panel on
"Festival Origins" for the NECS conference.

My own work has been looking at the Melbourne International Film Festival
and its development in 1952 out of the film society movement in Australia -
an origin that created a very different type of festival to the events
emerging elsewhere in the world at that time. Please let me know if you
think a paper on this topic might fit  into the panel you are proposing.

All the best,

Kirsten
