A HoMER Network Conference
Hosted by the Circuits of Cinema Project
Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada
22 to 24 June 2017 (Thursday to Saturday)
Pre-Conference 21 June 2017: Mapping Movies “data-sharing” workshop

We are planning to host 115 presentations by 124 authors or co-authors of research on movie and other media distribution, from all eras and places.

DOWNLOAD the Preliminary Programme (5 Feb 2017)

Circuits of Cinema will be a forum for presentations of historicized or comparative research on movie distribution and media infrastructures of cultural exchange. Presenters should foreground the mechanics and conditions that allow cinema to happen, and should scrutinize the planning and negotiations too often hidden in back offices and filing cabinets. Presenters at Circuits of Cinema will collectively provide a spectrum of critical analysis on aspects of media distribution ranging from classical Hollywood’s global circulation, to histories of local and regional film circuits, to conditions in today’s networked media spaces.

Panels are organized into three sub-themes:

  • A Panels | Chains of Command: Patterns behind Hollywood’s Standard Practices
  • B Panels | Transformative Distribution: Inter-Cultural, Diasporic and Transnational Circuits
  • C Panels | Distributing Alternatives: Circuits to the Social, Aesthetic and Economic Margins

ALSO:New Terrain Keynote Panels | Leading Research by Emerging & Senior Scholars   

Updated Information will be posted at www.psmoore.ca/circuits-of-cinema and here.
