<a href="https://screeningmelbourne.wordpress.com/"><i><span style="color:#0563C1">Screening Melbourne</span></i><span style="color:#0563C1"> Symposium</span></a> in February 2017, the
<a href="https://melbournescreenstudies.wordpress.com/"><span style="color:#0563C1">Melbourne Screen Studies Group</span></a> now seeks to solicit new abstracts for the
<b><i>Sound-Tracking Melbourne</i></b><i> <b>Symposium</b></i><b> </b>that will take place on

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">While it is recognized that screen media form the connective tissue of Melbourne’s artistic and cultural life, the importance of sound to the way the moving image is brought to life, is
relatively less well acknowledged. The <i>Sound-Tracking Melbourne Symposium </i>
not only intends<i> </i>to give due critical and creative weight to the interlocking dimensions of sound design found in Melbourne screen culture, but to address the lack of sustained scholarship on the ways in which the city and its environs are imagined and
brought to life on screen through particular ‘tracking’ soundscapes, from music videos to audiovisual art installations, and from film and TV to games and documentary.
<i>Sound-Tracking Melbourne </i>is both a recognition of the importance of sound to moving image culture and an intervention – asking delegates to hear and see sound in newly important ways.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">
The symposium</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> will do this through delegate presentations, panel discussions, industry events, and performance-screenings.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
