[Reader-list] Call for Papers: Water and Cinema

[Bangalore Film Society ,]

Voices from the Waters

Call for Papers



The brewing storm of Pather Panchali, love, drizzle, umbrellas and sidewalks
of Shri 420, the constant downpour of the industrial future in 'Blade
Runner'… the liquid grace of water has always fine tuned the iconic scenes
of cinema. Cinema owes this blue elixir heightened emotions and delicate
charm. As this magical resource increasingly becomes scarce, as the drought
sets in, as it is tagged with a price, Deep Focus Film Quarterly proposes to
dedicate the April 2008 edition to the cause and celebration of that
precious bounty, WATER.



We invite well-researched articles on the theme of water in cinema. These
may include articles on short and full length feature films and
documentaries based in the context of water issues- water scarcity, dams,
droughts, floods, global climate change, deforestation, conservation and
water as culture and life, interviews with filmmaker-activists working in
the field of water and articles tracing the relationship of water and cinema
over the ages. Articles having a word-count of between 2000 to 4000 should
be neatly typed with double spacing and should reach us by 28th February
2008. It is very important to include film stills to illustrate your
article.



Please mail in your articles at deep.focus at rediffmail.com,
bangalorefilmsociety at gmail.com
