Call for Contributors - World Film Locations: Vancouver
Editor Rachel Walls seeks suitable
contributors for World Film Locations:
Vancouver, a forthcoming addition to the World Film Locations series from
Intellect Books. The city continues to play a central role in a multitude of
films, helping us to frame our understanding of place and of the world around
us. Whether as elaborate directorial loveletters or as time-specific cultural
settings, the city acts as a vital character in helping to tell a story. These
observations have inspired World Film Locations, a series which not only aims
to explore how the cinema is helping to shape our view of the city, but also to
examine the role of the city in film and how can we engage with various urban
cultures through the medium of cinema.
