<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">An output of the British Academy project titled
<i>Transnational Horror, Folklore, and Cultural Politics</i> [</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><a href="https://folkhorrorproject.uk">https://folkhorrorproject.uk</a></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">],
this paper proposes an alternative methodology to the study of transnational horror film, that attends to the curatorial affordances of film studies and its engagement with the canon (and the canonising practices). Following an analysis of recent curatorial
attempts to frame the “folk horror revival” in transnational settings, this study focuses on the themed selection of film screenings,
<i>Mined Zone: Folk Horror</i>, which the author curated for the International Istanbul Film Festival (8-19 April 2022).
<span style="background:white">The screening programme aimed to introduce Istanbul’s festival audiences to geographically diverse representations of folklore-through-horror in world cinema. Critically reflecting on the curatorial possibilities and limitations
of (i) de-westernising film criticism and horror spectatorship, and (ii) facilitating cross-cultural mobility of non-Anglophone horror cinemas through an anti-canonising approach to horror-as-genre, this paper will provide a critical account of transnationalism
to understand the contemporary revival of folk horror and its reception in international festival settings.
