its ]{lang="EN-US"}[sixth annual postgraduate conference.]{lang="EN-US"}

[Cinema and television have always been media that operate on the
boundaries of social, technological and artistic change. In light of
recent socio-political events, it seems a pertinent time to consider and
interrogate the concept in relation to film and television. This
postgraduate conference encourages submissions that will examine
emergent trends within cinema and television on the theme of boundaries
-- from diverse historical periods, production contexts and research
methodologies -- to encourage discussion on the term's uses within
cinema and television discourses. ]{lang="EN-US"}

[The conference will aim to interrogate boundaries both within the texts
themselves (such as genre, form, and geography) and also their
production contexts (e.g. transnational co-productions or technological
innovation). ]{lang="EN-US"}

[The Cinema and Television History Research Centre houses a number of
major film archives on-site. The day will also include a programme of
archival training workshops []{#x__GoBack target="_blank"}focusing on
key research methodologies within film and television scholarship.
