On behalf of Concordia’s Faculty of Fine Arts, welcome to the 2018 Society for Animation Studies Conference. It’s an honour to host the SAS on its thirtieth anniversary. Concordia University opened a Department of Cinema in 1976 and today, the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema is the oldest film school in Canada and the largest university-based centre for the study of film animation, film production and film studies in the country. We are known internationally for innovative animation practices and continue to be strong producers of auteur animation in Montreal, birthplace the National Film Board, where the shadow of legendary Norman McLaren looms large. When I see our students’ animations at the Concordia Film Festival each year, the stunning breadth of what is possible within this medium always inspires me. The dynamism of this interdisciplinary art form is consistently renewed and refreshed here, benefitting immeasurably from the cross-pollination that occurs when performers, visual artists, filmmakers, and scholars study in close quarters. I believe the future of animation is in good hands in our Faculty and with the SAS. I hope your time at Concordia over the next few days will reinvigorate your passion for the study and practice of animation in all its myriad forms. Rebecca Duclos Dean Faculty of Fine Arts Concordia University 4 The Society for Animation Studies @30! Bienvenue! Welcome to the 2018 Society for Animation Studies Conference. This years’ conference, in beautiful Montreal, brings us to Canada and a place of great significance to animation (and myself*), the current home of the National Film Board of Canada, which has supported a vast array of pioneering animators in its almost 80 years of history. We are also enjoying the 30th year since the founding of the SAS in 1987 and this is our 30th conference! As befitting our own heritage and that of the city, the conference theme is ‘Then, Now, Next’ and reflects on our past, present and future. I extend my thanks to our hosts, Concordia University, and hope that they enjoy having the SAS in town! The program is full of diverse topics and themes and this year sees an increase in support for emerging scholars and hands on workshops in animation and sound. With a balance of papers, excellent keynotes and screenings, the conference promises to be a rich exploration of animation over the week. It is great to see so many new members on the delegate list and I hope that they, along with our established members, will continue to support the SAS through the coming years. Special thanks of course go to chairs Alison Reiko Loader, Marc Steinberg and their conference team, who have worked hard to put together a fantastic looking program in a stunning setting. I am looking forward to experiencing the location almost as much as the papers! I wish you all a wonderful conference. Best wishes, Dr Nichola Dobson University of Edinburgh, UK President of the Society for Animation Studies *My connection is both as a Scot and a McLaren historian – The NFB was established by John Grierson in 1939, and the animation department developed by Norman McLaren. Both were born in Stirling, Scotland – not far from where I was born! 5 A message from the SAS2018 team (l to r): Philipp, Jacqueline, Alison & Marc Dear 2018 SAS Conference Attendees, Participants, and Friends, On behalf of the entire organizing committee and the Society for Animation Studies organization, we warmly welcome you to Montreal! We are delighted to host this 30th year anniversary edition of the SAS conference, and take this opportunity to consider and celebrate the past, present, and future of animation studies. SAS@30: Then | Now | Next is an invitation for reflection, prognostication, and critical reflection about the state of union of animation production and animation studies, and a chance to chart new directions for the next 30 years. This is a journey we are on together, and we sincerely look forward to the incredible array of panels, presentations, screenings, roundtables, and other events over the coming days, as well as the conversations that will continue over the coming years. We would like take a moment to thank all of the people and the sponsors who have made this conference possible. We thank our incredible co-organizers, Jacqueline Ristola and Philipp Keidl, as well as everyone else who has helped out in the organization and execution of this conference. We have received much support from the Dean’s Office in the Fine Arts, and Dean Rebecca Duclos and Associate Dean Joanna Berzowska in particular. We also thank Concordia University, the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Concordia University Part-time Faculty Assocation (CUPFA), the Department of Design and Computation Arts, Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, the Sustainability Action Fund, the National Film Board of Canada, Technoculture, Arts and Gaming (TAG), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for helping to fund this event. Thanks finally to all of you for coming to this event, and for making it happen! We truly cannot wait for your presentations, screenings, films and conversations. May you have a wonderful conference!

  • Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs
    Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 85,810 Abstract Extreme art cinema, has, in recent film scholarship, become an important area of study. Many of the existing practices are motivated by a Franco-centric lens, which ultimately defines transgressive art cinema as a new phenomenon. The thesis argues that a study of extreme art cinema needs to consider filmic production both within and beyond France. It also argues that it requires an historical analysis, and I contest the notion that extreme art cinema is a recent mode of Film production. The study considers extreme art cinema as inhabiting a space between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms, noting the slippage between the two often polarised industries. The study has a focus on the paratext, with an analysis of DVD extras including ‘making ofs’ and documentary featurettes, interviews with directors, and cover sleeves. This will be used to examine audience engagement with the artefacts, and the films’ position within the film market. Through a detailed assessment of the visual symbols used throughout the films’ narrative images, the thesis observes the manner in which they engage with the taste structures and pictorial templates of art and exploitation cinema.

Macciomei: Co-optation of the American Dream Independent cinema has been an aspect of the American film industry since the inception of the art form itself. The aspects and perceptions of independent film have altered drastically over the years, but in general it can be used to describe American films produced and distributed outside of the Hollywood major studio system. But as American film history has revealed time and time again, independent studios always struggle to maintain their freedom from the Hollywood industrial complex. American independent cinema has been heavily integrated with major Hollywood studios who have attempted to tap into the niche markets present in filmgoers searching for theatrical experiences outside of the mainstream. From this, we can say that the American independent film industry has a long history of co-optation, acquisition, and the stifling of competition from the major film studios present in Hollywood, all of whom pose a threat to the autonomy that is sought after in these markets by filmmakers and film audiences.

L’approche choisie emprunte à la fois au champ littéraire et au champ cinématographique, et fait intervenir à la fois théoriciens, écrivains et cinéastes. À travers plusieurs regards croisés entre cinéastes et écrivains, ce mémoire décrit comment les thèmes du dépaysement, de la mémoire, de l’identité, du territoire et de la langue reviennent sans cesse dans les œuvres des auteurs migrants. Il interroge également la place des auteurs migrants au sein de la littérature et du cinéma nationaux, leur apport à l’imaginaire collectif, et plus largement leur place dans le discours social ambiant. À travers son œuvre, Mallet raconte sa propre expérience d’exilée en même temps qu’elle témoigne de ce qui s’est passé après le coup d’État au Chili en 1973, laissant des traces pour contrer l’histoire officielle.

  • Independent Experimental Film (Animation and Live-Action) Remains the Great Hardly-Addressed Problem of Film Preservation
    RESTORING EXPERIMENTAL FILMS by William Moritz (From Anthology Film Archives' "Film Preservation Honors" program, 1997) Independent experimental film (animation and live-action) remains the great hardly-addressed problem of film preservation. While million-dollar budgets digitally remaster commercial features, and telethon campaigns raise additional funds from public donations to restore "classic" features, and most of the film museums and archives spend their meager budgets on salvaging nitrates of early live-action and cartoon films, thousands of experimental films languish in desperate condition. To be honest, experimental film is little known to the general public, so a telethon might not engender the nostalgia gifts that pour in to the American Movie Classics channel. But at their best, experimental films constitute Art of the highest order, and, like the paintings and sculptures and prints and frescos of previous centuries, merit preservation, since they will be treasured continuingly and increasingly by scholars, connoisseurs, and thankful popular audiences of future generations - for the Botticellis and Rembrandts and Vermeers and Turners and Monets and Van Goghs of our era will be found among the experimental filmmakers. Experimental films pose many special problems that account for some of this neglect. Independent production often means that the "owner" of legal rights to the film may be in question, so the time and money spent on a restoration may be lost when a putative owner surfaces to claim the restored product. Because the style of an experimental film may be eccentric in the extreme, it can be hard to determine its original state: is this print complete? Have colors changed? was there a sound accompaniment? what was the speed or configuration of projection? etc.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our members, professional staff, and volunteers who have put enormous time and energy into making this conference a reality. This is my final conference as SCMS President, a position I have held for the past four years. Prior to my presidency, I served two years as President-Elect, and before that, three years as Treasurer. As I look forward to my new role as Past-President, I have begun to reflect on my near decade-long involvement with the administration of the Society. Needless to say, these years have been challenging, inspiring, and expansive. We have traveled to and met in numerous cities, including Atlanta, London, Minneapolis, Vancouver, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. We celebrated our 50th anniversary as a scholarly association. We planned but unfortunately were unable to hold our 2009 conference at Josai University in Tokyo. We mourned the untimely death of our colleague and President-Elect Anne Friedberg while honoring her distinguished contributions to our field. We planned, developed, and launched our new website and have undertaken an ambitious and wide-ranging strategic planning process so as to better position SCMS to serve its members and our discipline today and in the future. At one of our first strategic planning sessions, Justin Wyatt, our gifted and hardworking consultant, asked me to explain to the Board why I had become involved with the work of the Society in the first place.

The vast majority of films in the collection will have their premieres on Crave. “TIFF’s partnership with Bell Media and Crave, Canada’s own world-class streaming service, is good for business and furthers TIFF’s mission to showcase exceptional cinema to audiences across the country,” said Joana Vicente, TIFF’s Executive Director and Co-Head. “TIFF is thrilled to make this opportunity available to both the filmmakers and viewers.
