國際青年學者論壇是北京國際電影節•第27屆大學生電影節國際學術周的重要環節，也是國際青年電影研究及媒介研究學者分享學術成果、交流學術思想的平臺。本屆國際青年學者論壇將於2020年4月13日在北京師範大學展開。論壇以「電影研究新視界」為主題，下設四個分論壇，響應北京國際電影節•第27屆大學生電影節「新時代·新主流·新形象」主題，誠邀國內外青年學者對電影藝術新發展、新現象、新形式進行深度探討。
在數位技術、媒介載體和文化系統快速更迭的時代，電影，無論作為藝術形式還是媒介文本，正在經歷創作形態、傳播方式、消費結構等方面的轉變。近年來，有關電影新現象的討論在學界與業界屢屢爭鳴，對電影本體論的再思考重新成為電影研究領域的重要問題。在當下，我們以何種定義進入電影、又通過何種路徑思考電影？這往往是青年學者們在關注前沿問題、探討新生現象時所面臨的困惑。「電影研究新視界」鼓勵青年學者探討電影前沿問題，提出新銳觀點，以新問舊、以舊喚新，重顧經典理論、拓展研究視角與方法，在當代電影主體與邊界、媒介的考古與推新、電影文本的生產與消費等方面，提出新鮮的學術論點和思考。
隨著中國內地電影市場的發展，中國電影在藝術形態、類型敘事等方面都經歷了顯著而重要的變化。近年來，無論是弘揚主流價值觀的商業大片，還是關注社會現象的現實主義題材作品，都達到了較高的創作水準，取得不俗的市場成績。在學界，「新主流電影」等概念的提出，也意味著中國電影的現實主義特色與藝術表達、工業化生產之間出現的衝突與合流已經成為電影批評和理論界關注的熱點問題。在此，我們歡迎青年學者對相關現象與理論概念進行探討，就中國電影在類型拓展、主流敘事等方面的變化和發展提出自己的見解與觀點。
電影創作中的新血液、新形象，一直是推動中國電影產業發展、加速中國電影轉型的重要力量。一方面，青年與新生代導演往往敢於開拓不同以往的類型敘事與藝術風格，在影片創作、製作與發行的各個環節都發展出新的處理策略與方式。另一方面，新生代演員與他們所演繹的銀幕形象受到觀眾喜愛，甚至進一步導致傳統的文本與受眾關係的轉變。在新的電影創作條件與媒介環境中、在媒介與文化融合的背景下，關注新生代導演與銀幕形象，是青年學者貢獻新鮮視角、跳出傳統領域、建構當下中國電影批評邏輯與理論體系的關鍵。
電影自身是媒介的一種，也是跨媒介文本框架中愈發重要的一環。電影技術的快速發展不斷為電影與媒介研究帶來新的問題：當下電影的介質究竟是什麼？媒介形態如何塑造電影，電影又如何表達媒介材質？如何理解電影媒介的環境賦使 (affordance)？我們歡迎青年學者從跨媒介敘事，媒介生態，媒介考古，受眾研究等角度，探討當今電影藝術所處的媒介生態與媒介表達特色，對電影與媒介的新議題進行理論化闡釋。
電影技術的革新與新媒體窗口的高速發展似乎正在重塑「電影」作為媒介與藝術的定義。在業界，對於「網飛」等平臺放映電影的爭論甚囂塵上，有關超級英雄影片和cinema之爭的討論也絡繹不絕。這些討論將電影藝術的主體性與理論邊界再一次帶回到電影研究的核心領域中。我們將再次回到巴贊與電影學的核心問題——「電影是什麼」，重新對電影本體進行思考。我們歡迎青年學者回顧宏大理論、後電影理論與電影哲學，從理論角度建構當今電影藝術的主體與邊界。
在以上議題外，我們也歡迎青年學者圍繞近年來中國電影發展中的其他景觀、現象及前沿問題展開思考與研究。我們充分鼓勵青年學者在傳統理論框架外提出新銳理論架構、發表前沿觀點，為電影批評與理論領域注入新鮮活力。

Date of conference:
April 13, 2020
Location: Jingshi School Building (京師學堂), Beijing Normal University
Deadline for proposal:
March 10, 2020
Deadline for full paper:
April 7, 2020
The International Young Scholars Conference is a significant section of the Beijing International Film Festival • The 27th College Student Film Festival. The conference aims to provide academic platform for international young scholars with research interests in film and media studies.
The theme of the 2020 International Young Scholars Conference will be 「New Perspectives in Cinema Studies,」 which responds to the new developments, new patterns and new phenomena in both fields of film studies and film industry worldwide.Four panels are proposed to cover relevant and significant topics. We encourage young scholars and graduate students worldwide to submit manuscripts addressing exciting and cutting-edged topics around the new trends of cinema studies.
The Return of Chinese Realist Cinema: Expending Genre and the Mainstream Storytelling
Along with the growth of domestic film industry, the rapidly developing Chinese movie production is currently at significant transition. Observable changes and new phenomena appear in terms of the cinematic forms, genre and storytelling. In the recent years, increasing numbers of commercial Chinese movies characterized by both realist characteristics and mainstream representation performed well in the market, and received attention from both the industry and academia. We thus encourage the young scholars to elaborate around the relevant phenomena as well as existing theoretical concepts including 「the new mainstream movie」 and 「the industrial cinematic aesthetics.」 We look forward to seeing fresh ideas around new developments of Chinese movie in the past 5-10 years.
New Images in Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Young Auteurs and New Images on Screen
Young auteurs always play crucial roles in the development of regional film production. Firstly, as early adopters of new media and technologies, new generation of filmmakers are challenging traditional film creation and production patterns in many ways. Meanwhile, the popularity of young actors and actresses is in turn reshaping the author-reader relationship in film spectatorship. In the era of media and cultural convergence, we encourage the young scholars to mention younger auteurs, actors/ actresses and their cinematic works, and to theoretically construct or revise the framework of criticism of contemporary Chinese cinema.
Cinema and Media: Technique, Ecology and Spectatorship
Cinema is always a significant part of the transmedia and intertextual production. The rapidly developing digital technologies have brought new questions in the fields of film and media studies: What is the medium of cinema? What are the textures of cinematic media? How is cinema shaped by its medium? How to interpret the affordance (if any) of cinema? We encourage the young scholars to elaborate around the above questions in terms of (but not limited to) transmedia storytelling, media ecology, media archaeology and spectatorship.
Rethinking the Ontology of Cinema: Subject and Boundary
The evolution of cinematic technologies and new media platforms are challenging the definition of 「cinema.」 The debates around Netflix and movie theatres continue. Scorsese’s critics of Super Hero movies and cinema also received much attention. Ultimately, these empirical debates lead to a significant theoretical argument, which was inspired earlier by Bazin but worth asking again: 「What is cinema?」. We thus encourage the young scholars to rethink the ontology of cinema, and to bring out new thoughts by reviewing classic frameworks of grant theories, postfilm theories and cinema philosophy. We hope to see fresh ideas around the definition, subject and boundary of contemporary cinema.
Optional Topic
Other than above topics, we also welcome other cutting-edges elaborations around new phenomena and topics of Chinese cinema. Please briefly indicate and introduce your proposal in the application form.
Date of Conference: April 13, 2020
