We invite scholarly papers and/ or creative practice- based presentations to reflect the centrality of the planetary in film and
screen media, with consideration for the context of the environmental emergency.
The conference does not ignore the current context marked by a significant shift in global environmental discourses, particularly in relation to the re-election of Donald Trump in the United States. It considers this moment to posit film and screen media as discursive spaces for reclaiming the relevance of the planetary and environmental debates at a time when they are increasingly dismissed.
