    CFP: The Brooklyn Film (11/15/20)

    Contributions are sought for The Brooklyn Film, a volume of critical essays
    to be published by McFarland in 2001. The proposed text will examine the role
    of Brooklyn throughout film history, from the Vitagraph studio in the silent
    era to Sal Stabile's recent Gravesend. Essayists may examine a particular
    film, films, actor, or director that represents the rich "Brooklyn
    experience": neighborhoods, characters, events, ethnic groups, sports. The
    films can be fictional, historical or documentary. The unpublished
    submissions will explore the cinematic (mis)representation of New York's most
    celebrated borough from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives.

    Editors John Manbeck (Brooklyn Borough Historian) and Robert Singer (CUNY
    film historian) are accepting e-mail abstracts (not to exceed one and a half
    pages) until 11/15/2000. If the proposal has been accepted, the essayist will
    be invited to submit the completed text (MLA parenthetical style, with
    endnotes) by 2/28/2001. The essay must be no longer than 25 pages. Essayists
    will be notified if the completed text has been accepted for publication. The
    editors will provide relevant publishing/copyright information. All requests
    for information may be sent by e-mail to Prof. Singer at
    <Bklynfilmsinger@aol.com>
