    The Film Colloquium At The University of Washington is proud to announce its
    Second Annual Interdisciplinary Film Conference and Short Film Festival

    EMERGING FORMS: Media, Narrative and Technique in the Twenty-First Century

    November 7-9, 2001

    The world of media is one of continuous change. Currently, new production
    formats, such as Digital Video, and reception formats, such as DVD, are
    altering the way films are made and viewed. New cinematic spaces are not
    only mapped by new technologies, but also by developments within multiple
    areas of the globe. This conference explores the ways in which new forms,
    evolutions of traditional forms, and expansions within an international
    arena alter the cinematic landscape. Conference events include presentations
    of academic papers, a short film festival, a presentation by a filmmaker,
    and a lecture by a keynote speaker. Subject to funding and interest, we
    will attempt to publish select conference proceedings. For regularly updated
    information about the conference please visit our web site:
