[Filmfestivalresearch] Call for papers and pre-constituted panels on film festival research for NECS Izmir

[Valck, M. de (Marijke)]

Dear colleagues,

As in previous years, we would like to invite you to submit a paper proposal and/or a pre-constituted panel on film festival research for the NECS conference that will take place in Izmir (Turkey) 27-29 June, 2024. The conference's theme this year is "Emergencies. Media in an Unpredictable World". More info here: https://necs.org/conference. In addition to the focus on an annual theme, NECS offers scholars the opportunity to present their current research and functions as an annual gathering. The Film Festival Research workgroup is an active community that sponsors pre-constituted panels and organizes a work group meeting during the conference.

As the final deadline closes on *January, 31st,* I would like to invite all those who want to participate in a thematic panel on film festival research and are not yet part of a pre-constituted panel to submit their proposals to m.devalck at uu.nl<mailto:m.devalck at uu.nl> before January 26rd.

If you are not yet a NECS member, you can join the film festival research workgroup after signing up for NECS. If you already are a member, please, remember to update your membership before submission (check "my NECS" tab on the NECS website).

Please also get in touch with Marijke or Skadi if you like to organize a book launch or use the annual work group meeting to reach out to the members regarding an ongoing or future project or event.

We looking forward to re-connecting with you in Turkey.

Warm wishes,
Marijke and Skadi
