DESCRIPTION OF THE CONFERENCE

Call for Papers:

We invite participants to address the following issues:

• Images of the invisible: images of the imagination, images representing the indescribable, untouchable.
• Great films and artists of "invisible" cinema.
• Narrative and non-narrative strategies of representing the imaginary in film.
• Imaginary worlds in cinema. The iconography of the fantastic and its changes in the history of cinema.
• The relation between reality and fiction: the reality of the imaginary and the fictionalization of reality.
• The "activity" of the spectator or "interactivity"? The spectator of classical movies, the spectator of cinema, the player of computer games and the world of moving images. Analyses of new forms of "interactivity," relations to known models of imagination.

Invited keynote speaker: ANDRÁS BÁLINT KOVÁCS (Eötvös Loránd University Budapest).
