Binghamton University’s Department of German and Russian will host the annual Conference of the European Cinema Research Forum July 9-12, at the Appalachian Collegiate Center in Mountainview Community. Participants will look at films and directors, movements and aesthetics that might be considered “Art House” and consider whether they work with or against European mainstream cinema. Topics will include European cinemas and its engagement with border crossings between European and other cinemas; representations of migrant identities; representations of intersections of (trans)gender, sexuality and race in European cinemas; and new cinemas in Europe and European filmmaking praxis, production and funding vehicles.
