The conference will be the first major gathering of scholars researching the \u2018shadow\u2019 histories of film and television.<\/p>\n<p>The conference builds on the burgeoning academic interest in unmade film and television \u2013 so-called \u2018shadow histories\u2019 \u2013 and the cultural logic of failure. Co-organiser Dr James Fenwick is currently co-editing a collection on this topic, <em>Shadow Cinema: Industrial and Production Contexts<\/em>, for publication with Bloomsbury.<\/p>\n<p>The conference invites not only traditional academic papers and case studies of individual unmade films, but also papers that consider how we can even understand the notion of the \u2018unmade\u2019 and of the cultural artefacts that now remain of these \u2018lost\u2019 projects in archives around the world. A key aspect of unmade studies is the way we can interpret and utilise archival material in new, even creative ways, such as staged performances of scripts.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, while a lot of scholarly interest has centred on the unrealised films and TV programmes of significant directors and writers, we also recognise that research is needed into wider issues around \u2018unproduction studies\u2019, such as career breaks, cultures of script development, development hell, and the industrial logic of failure.<\/p>\n<p>We invite submission of conference proposals of 250 words, along with a 100-word biography, that address any aspect of unmade cinema and television.
