Special Dossier for Film Matters 10.3 (2019)
This call is to solicit essays for a Film Matters dossier on movies based on actual events. Ideally papers should explore the intersection between fictional aesthetics and the documentary form, media interactivity, questions of (in)accuracy, scholarly versus marketable understandings of the past, and the relationship between the screen and contemporary sociopolitical events.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Military History
- Sports History
- Music History
- Biopics
- Political Crises
- Conspiracies
- Mass Murders
- Financial Crashes
- Race Relations
Undergraduate authors, please submit your work to Fabrizio Cilento (cilentofabrizio AT gmail.com) by March 31, 2019.
