**Colour in Context Symposium, University of Bristol. Friday 23^rd^
March 2018.**

**Key note speaker: Professor Lynda Nead, Birkbeck.**

**Call for Papers:** Colour -- its specific hues, meanings and
perception -- are a contentious issue in the study of film.  From the
history of its technologies and the production of a 'natural colour'
image to its association with all that is artificial and unreal, the
interpretation of colour has been closely linked to its cultural, social
and historical contexts. *Colour in Context* is a one-day
interdisciplinary symposium and offers a space in which to discuss the
diverse ways in which filmmakers and artists have used colour (and the
strategy of its absence) as a technique of cinematic expression as well
as those who have made a subversive use of colour that is intended to
disrupt cinematic forms of representation in a range of cultural, social
or historical contexts.

We welcome papers on the specificities of colour and its contradictions
in a range of cultural, social or historical contexts. Topics for
consideration include, but are not limited to:

- Colour in the context of a specific theory or work of a theorist/
 philosopher.
- Colour and its contradictions, a context in which colour deviates from
 the expected.
- Cultural and historical contexts of colour in cinema.
- The use of colour/ lighting in exhibition and gallery spaces.
- Colour technologies and design: Gasparcolor, Dufaycolour, classic
 Technicolor to digital media.
- Questions of colour in film archives and their conservation projects.
- Colour and genre: science fiction, non-fiction, melodrama, travel
 films, musicals and /or horror.
- Colour context and perception.
- Colour and textual analysis: in a genre and in the context of *this*
 text.

To submit an abstract, please send the following details -- name,
affiliation, abstract (200 words) and short biographical notes -- to Dr
Liz Watkins <e.i.watkins@leeds.ac.uk> no later than the **deadline:
15^th^ January 2018.**
