Domitor is happy to circulate the CFP for the 2022 Domitor student essay award competition. The Domitor Student Essay Award is an annual competition designed to stimulate interest in the field of early cinema studies, to involve young scholars and archivists in the activities of our organization, and to reduce the gap between established and emerging generations of scholars and archivists of early cinema. It is crucial for the future of early cinema studies that young historians, theorists, and archivists present their work and enter into discussion with current scholars and scholarship.

The winner of the award will be announced by January 2023. The award consists of a monetary prize (US$500) and assistance in obtaining publication of the winning essay in a scholarly film history journal. Submissions for the 2022 award are due no later than November 18, 2022. The CFP and more information are available on Domitor's award page. Please help us share this opportunity with your students !

Domitor est heureux de faire circuler l’appel à candidature pour le prix de l'essai étudiant Domitor 2022. Le Prix de l’essai étudiant Domitor est un concours annuel visant à stimuler la recherche sur le cinéma des premiers temps, de même qu’à inciter les jeunes chercheurs et archivistes à prendre part aux activités de notre association et ainsi réduire le fossé qui sépare les générations déjà établies des générations nouvelles. Il est primordial pour l’avenir de la recherche sur le cinéma des premiers temps que les jeunes historiens, théoriciens et archivistes présentent leurs travaux et entament un dialogue avec les spécialistes de la discipline.

Le lauréat sera annoncé en janvier 2023. Le prix consistera en une bourse de 500 USD et le soutien de Domitor avec la publication de l’essai gagnant dans une revue scientifique d’histoire du cinéma. La date limite du dépôt des candidatures a été fixée au 18 novembre 2022. L’appel à candidatures et plus d’informations sur le prix de l’essai étudiant Domitor peuvent être trouvées sur la page ‘Prix’ du site internet de Domitor. Merci de nous aider à faire circuler cette opportunité à vos étudiants ! ... See MoreSee Less

Rob Byrne, our dear colleague from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, has alerted us about the reconfiguration plans currently threatening the Castro Theater, the very home of the SFSFF and an important San Francisco landmark. We are sharing his call for help with you today, in the hope that you will be able to sign the petition, join their listserv, and help spread the word.

We published his call on the Domitor website:
