Co-Sponsorship In-person November Annual Meeting 2025

Religion, Affect, and Emotion Unit and Religion, Film, and Visual Culture Unit

Call for Proposals

POV in Film and Religion: What is the craft of artistic creation? How do technical creative choices reflect or affect religious sensibilities and identities? We seek proposals that explore how the interpretive aesthetics of artists—such as cinematography, point of view, framing, editing, angles, exhibition, etc.—shape viewers' emotional and affective reception of them.
