CCGES is pleased to be a co-presenter of the conference “European Visions – Small Cinemas in Transition” which is being presented by the Department of Film at the University of Western Ontario on June 29-30, 2010. This international conference will address issues which small European cinemas have encountered as a result of European unification and worldwide economic and cultural globalization. During the conference, the presenters will explore how the general concept of “small cinemas” relates to questions of geographical territory, the nation- state and post-national phenomena.

Plenary speakers are renowned scholars in the field, including Mette Hjort, author of The Cinema of Small Nations, and Randall Halle, author of Toward a Transnational Aesthetic: German Film after Germany.
