Thrilled to share that I’ve signed a book contract for my monograph to appear with Camden House in their Screen Cultures: German Film and the Visual series! Disclaimer - this is what AI thinks the cover will look like. I’ve got to finish it before I can find out how close it is to the reality!

Call for Papers: Rethinking Weimar Cinema (University of Oxford, 17 - 19 June 2026)

Keynote Speakers:
Dr Paul Dobryden (University of Virginia)
Dr Sara F. Hall (University of Illinois Chicago)
Dr Qinna Shen (Bryn Mawr College)

Film Screenings: TBC, in collaboration with the Ultimate Picture Palace and Weimar 100

Organizers: Dr Lawrence Alexander (Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford) and Dr Molly Harrabin (University of St. Andrews/University of Warwick).

Deadline for submitting proposals: 31 October 2025

The centennial years of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) have seen a rise in academic engagement with and public interest in this period of German film history. As one of the most dynamic and experimental periods in global cinema, Weimar film has long been recognized for its aesthetic innovations, sociopolitical commentary, and influence on subsequent film movements. Yet these anniversary commemorations have not only reaffirmed the significance of this era, they have also opened the door for new questions, perspectives, and critical paradigms. This conference seeks to build on this momentum by revisiting Weimar cinema through fresh critical lenses and innovative methodologies, inviting participants to reconsider its cultural, political, and aesthetic significance in light of new archival discoveries, theoretical frameworks, and interdisciplinary approaches. The conference will take stock of our current understanding of Weimar film to map where this field may be heading as well as offering new genealogies of those images, figures, and texts that have defined it thus far.

In addition to traditional conference papers, we welcome contributions from archivists, practice-based researchers, and works of videographic criticism. Please submit proposals of up to 300 words to lawrence.alexander@rsa.ox.ac.uk and mlh21@st-andrews.ac.uk by 31st October 2025. Notices of acceptance will be sent out in December.

A limited number of bursaries are available to contribute to travel and accommodation costs for postgraduate and early-career speakers.

This event is hosted by the Weimar Film Network and funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) as part of a three-year Promoting German Studies networking grant awarded to the German Screen Studies Network, co-directed by Dr Paul Flaig and Dr Dora Osborne.

We may have been a little quiet recently, but that’s because one of our co-editors has been successful defending her thesis!

I really enjoyed presenting on MENSCHEN AM SONNTAG / PEOPLE ON SUNDAY at the British Film Institute Reuben Library last night, and celebrating the publication of my BFI Film Classics volume on the film. Thank you *very* much to everyone who came, and to those who bought copies of the book! 1/2
