The conference will explore contemporary horror beyond the mainstream, with a particular emphasis on papers that broadly align to three key strands:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Independent:<\/b>\u00a0papers that focus on genre media produced outside of the mainstream<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Inclusive:<\/b>\u00a0papers that consider how horror speaks to and for marginalised communities<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>International:\u00a0<\/b>papers that aim to study global and non-anglophone horror<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Moving away from the theme of last year\u2019s event, which largely turned its attention to the significance of popular franchises, remakes and sequels,\u00a0<em>Fear 2000: Horror Uncaged <\/em>will shed light on the understudied and under-appreciated in contemporary horror. Inspired by the recent success of such horror films as <i>Deadstream\u00a0<\/i>(2022),\u00a0<i>Hatching\u00a0<\/i>(2022),\u00a0<i>Huesera\u00a0<\/i>(2022),\u00a0<i>Incantation\u00a0<\/i>(2022),\u00a0<i>Piggy\u00a0<\/i>(2022), <i>Skinamarink\u00a0<\/i>(2022),\u00a0<i>Titane\u00a0<\/i>(2021) and\u00a0<i>We\u2019re All Going to the World\u2019s Fair\u00a0<\/i>(2021), the conference will aim to deepen our understanding of the social, cultural, political, industrial and aesthetic significance of contemporary horror that is: produced, distributed or exhibited independently; is inclusive in its authorship and\/or representation; or is produced by understudied national cinemas and particularly in non-anglophone nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our first keynote speaker for this event will be Shellie McMurdo (University of Hertfordshire), author of\u00a0<i>Blood on the Lens: Trauma and Anxiety in American Found Footage Horror Cinema\u00a0<\/i>(2022), who will discuss the links between the found footage format and the conference themes. Further keynote lectures, special events and guests will be announced via our website and social media channels in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To ensure a full and dedicated experience for those unable to attend in person, this four-day conference will take place\u00a0online from 21-22 July\u00a0and\u00a0in person from\u00a028-29 July.
