Dear colleagues and friends,

As announced at the HoMER General Meeting in Potsdam, July 2016, Lies Van de Vijver and myself (Maria Velez-Serna) are passing on the baton as coordinators of the HoMER Network. It has been a real privilege and pleasure to work with this extraordinary community, and we thank you all for the opportunity and for your support.

We are also very pleased to welcome two new coordinators, as elected by the membership:

Dr. Clara Pafort-Overduin (Utrecht), a HoMER founding member with extensive scholarship on film exhibition and distribution in the Netherlands: http://www.uu.nl/staff/CPafortOverduin/0

Dr. Daniela Treveri Gennari (Oxford Brookes), a leading researcher on historical cinema audiences and part of the DICIS (Digital Cinema Studies) project:  http://arts.brookes.ac.uk/staff/danielatreverigennari.html

Over to Clara and Daniela – with much gratitude and best wishes!
