The conference aims to bring together an international mix of screen academics and practitioners to discuss the complexities, rewards, challenges and limitations of screen ‘beauty’ in 2025. From considerations of cinematic spectacle to scrolling on our phones, ‘beautiful screens’ of all kinds have a home at our conference. We are also committed to facilitating meaningful interactions between academics, educators and screen-industry creatives/professionals, realised through a combination of traditional academic panels, screenings, industry and educator roundtables, and mixer sessions in which those vantage points can be productively brought together. We invite proposals for academic papers, as well as short films, posters and other creative responses to the theme.
