Stories of Migration
From: Forced Migration List <fmlist@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Crossings: Stories of Migration – Call for Papers, Film Essays, Short Films
Deadline for Submissions (Round One): Friday August 4th
Crossings: Stories of Migration (June-September 2017) is an ICA-led UK-wide
film and events programme supported by the BFI using National Lottery funding,
in partnership with the Goethe-Institut and the School of Film & Television,
Falmouth University.
We live in an age of migration. Driven by political and military conflicts, the
pressures and possibilities of increasingly globalised economies, climate
change and the desire for a better life, more people than ever move and live
across borders. These are diverse trajectories; each journey has its own story
and each story its own journey, traversing different landscapes and carrying
with it its own past.
Through a programme of screenings and events, Crossings explores the stories of
modern-day migration and reflects on cinema’s potential to interrogate the
damaging ways in which migration is often framed. Including a variety of
documentary and fiction features, the programme engages with transnational
crossings from the last five decades through different forms of aesthetically
innovative storytelling.
As part of the Crossings project, the ICA intends to curate scholarly and
creative responses to the issues raised by the season, which will be hosted on
their dedicated website https://www.crossings2017.co. uk/
The website is intended to function as an ongoing repository for a range of
essays, short films, film essays, reviews, and scholarly endeavour which will
live on past the screening season itself.
Please note: Crossings will run throughout the summer, and as such, we are as
interested in responses to the screenings as we are in pre-existing or
‘anticipatory’ work; therefore, a further call for submissions will be made in
early Autumn.
We welcome any proposals, and wish to take a flexible and imaginative approach
to format and length, but academic and creative work from undergraduate and
postgraduate students and ECRs are particularly welcome.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Transnational communication
Migration and diasporic community
Borders and transgressions
The physical and metaphorical journey of migration
Migration, power and agency
The political contexts of migration
Repression and ‘Othering’
The reproduction or breaching of stereotypes around migration
Please send a brief (500-1000 word) abstract with short bio to
laura.canning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx including the term “Crossings” in your subject
heading. Deadline for initial submissions: Friday August 4th 2017.
Crossings brings together leading commentators, critics and contributors from
across various cultural and political contexts to create a rigorous yet diverse
platform for discussion to explore migration from both global and local
perspectives. Engaging with ethical and political questions raised by
representing these narratives on screen, the season aims to open space for
dialogue at a time when this is more urgent than ever. For further details on
the schedule of films and venues, please see https://www.crossings2017.co. uk/
