</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">The Film and History Conference provides an opportunity for international scholars, archivists, and filmmakers to present their thoughts on recent debates and events in the fields of film history, history and film, national and transnational cinemas, film theory, film practice, and the social and cultural significance of cinema.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> <BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">The central theme of the 2010 conference is <I>Cinema, Modernity and Modernism</I>. Over the past two decades, some of the most exciting research into film and cinema history has examined how the medium and the institution helped to define and mediate the experience of modernity and modernization. This perspective has revealed the previously overlooked extent to which film informed and shaped modernist aesthetics. The topic is therefore relevant to the study of literary and artistic modernism more broadly. <BR>
