This Year’s Theme: Films For and About Children and Young Adults
Proposals for conference-length papers related to our theme, “Films For and About Children and Young Adults” are invited for our 2011 Embarras Valley Film Festival. Although we will be screening films connected with film makers and personnel from the Central Illinois area, we encourage a variety of perspectives on children’s and young adult films. The following outlines the possible films we will screen during our festival:
Hachi: A Dog’s Tale (2009)
Song of the South (1946)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Cinderella (1950)
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (2010)
Martian Child (2007)
Paper topics may include readings of films for children and young adults, film adaptations, children’s or young adult literature and film, or children’s or young adult literature of or about Central Illinois.
Please send an abstract of approximately 150 words by October 1, 2011 to the following address or email:
