The Film Studies Program has organized a major conference annually since the inauguration of its graduate program. These conferences link our discipline to others on campus both to increase funding and participation and to explore topics that respond best to interdisciplinary examination. Keynote speakers and participants have come from around North America and from across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Graduate students have frequently served as discussants on panels and as assistants in logistics.
