Call for Papers - World Film Locations: Buenos Aires Editors: Dr. Michael Pigott, Dr. Santiago Oyarzabal [email protected], [email protected] ______The World Film Locations series will explore and reveal the relationship between the city and cinema by using a predominantly visual approach inspired by The Big Picture magazine’s ‘On Location’ feature. Alongside short bite-sized texts about carefully chosen film scenes, each book will be illustrated throughout with evocative movie stills and be complimented by short but insightful essays about themes, ideas and key historical periods relating to each individual city. 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 are the issues that have prompted the World Film Locations book series and which we are excited to explore further, looking at questions such as: • How is cinema helping to shape our view of the city? • What is the role of the city in film? • How can we engage with and better understand different cultures through the medium of film? ______We have been commissioned by Intellect Books to edit the Buenos Aires volume of their new World Film Locations series, and we are currently seeking contributors. The first round of books in the series has being released now, and Intellect are putting a strong marketing push behind them. The Buenos Aires volume will be published in Summer 2014. Information about the other volumes in the series so far can be found here: http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/books/view-Series,id=27/

The Buenos Aires volume will consist of up to 50 film entries, and 7 short 'Spotlight Essays'. Each film entry will be given a two-page spread featuring multiple stills from a chosen scene and a 250 word description that emphasizes the role of the location in the film. The spotlight essays (1000 words) will focus on pertinent themes or issues in relation to Buenos Aires on screen. Draft list of films for the volume (films already assigned are struck through)
