Dear Colleague,

Please find below a call for papers for a special issue, to be edited by Professor Geoffrey Nowell-Smith:

Convergence: The Journal of Research into New Media Technologies

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on Digital Cinema: What¹s the Difference?

For Volume 9 Number 4 (Winter 2003) Convergence is planning a special issue on:

Digital Cinema: What¹s the Difference?

- Is digital cinema in fact cinema or is it a kind of HDTV adapted for exhibition in movie-theatres? - Or is it just cinema as before but using digital support in place of celluloid and with added special effects? - Or is it a complete revolution in cinema, cutting the last links between cinema and the photograph as imprints of reality? - Or is it a means by which reality can be brought closer to the film spectator thanks to flexible and easily used technology?

Contributions are invited on any aspect of digital cinema ­ technology, economics, cultural or aesthetic implications ­ or on any phase of the process from production though post-production to distribution and exhibition.

Submission deadline for this issue is: 30 April 2003

Proposals for articles or completed papers should be sent to Professor Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, Department of Media Arts, University of Luton, 75 Castle Street, Luton, LU1 3AJ, United Kingdom, E-mail: Geoffrey Nowell-Smith @luton.ac.uk
