*Film & Media Festivals SIG – Call for Papers for Pre-Constituted Panels,
SCMS 2024 (March 14– March 17)*

We look forward to reconnecting in person with film festival scholars,
festival practitioners, and friends during the upcoming SCMS conference,
which will be held in Boston, Massachusetts at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.
You can find the general call for papers on the conference page:
https://scms-conference.secure-platform.com/a/

The SIG would like to facilitate and streamline festival research papers by
coordinating panels from individual submissions, which later need to be
submitted to SCMS as pre-constituted panels. To join a pre-constituted
panel sponsored by the SIG, submit a paper title no longer than 120
characters, an abstract no longer than 2500 characters, 3-5 bibliographic
sources, and an author bio no longer than 500 characters. Please keep in
mind that individual presentations at SCMS last a maximum of 20 minutes.

The suggested panel/workshop titles/themes are for your consideration. If
you wish, feel free to suggest another! We are providing this service to
help coordinate the papers of the SIG members so that a maximum number have
the best chance of being selected to participate in the conference; this
has proven to be a very successful tactic.

Suggested panel and workshop themes:*

   - Film festival organizing practices
   - Festivals and awards
   - Theorizing film festivals
   - Research methods in festival studies
   - Digital festival practices
   - Festivals as forums for diversity
   - Networks, distribution, and audiences
   - Film exhibition at festivals
   - Film history, canons and film festivals

How to submit?
Please submit your proposal by July 30, 2023 using the form available at:

Deadline: July 30, 2023

*The titles for each panel/workshop will have to be refined once we have
received your proposals and they have been sorted according to some
compelling theme. Only the designated panel chair may submit the final
panel/workshop proposal for all its members.
