AWARDS – books and articles

by

Dear members,

As decided at last year’s AGM in Milan, the network will award books and articles in the field of screenwriting research with an annual prize.

We have already received some interesting nominations, but there is still time to nominate books and articles. We would like to encourage more nominations for articles”. Self-nomination is allowed; the essay could be published in the Journal of Screenwriting or in any other scholarly journal

The article or book should be published between September 2018 and June 2019.

Deadline for nominations is

June 15th.

More information on the details can be found on our website:

https://screenwritingresearch.com/2018/10/24/srn-awards-2019/

Please encourage authors and publishers to contact us. Nominations should be send to

[email protected]

Looking forward to present the first awards at our annual conference at Porto in September

Kind regards

Claus Tieber

Secretary, SRN

 

Call for Conferences: Deadline extended

by
Dear Members,
We thank those of you who have already declared their interest in
organizing the annual SRN conferences from 2021 until 2023. We recognize
that some need a little bit more time to submit a proposal and/or get
the approval of their university. Thus we have extended the deadline for
this call until May 27th.
This might also give others who haven’t already a chance to make a bid.
We are looking forward to your submissions.
Kind regards
Claus Tieber
Secretary SRN

approved

  1. Next Conferences:

Information about the SRN Call for Conferences (CSB)

CSB received three mails from international facilities (Singapur, UK, Ottawa), but these are commercial institutions. In her response she made clear that we are looking for non-commercial organizers, located in universities, film schools etc.

  1. Porto Conference

Registration is not open yet. The organizers need to communicate information when it actually opens.

  1. Newsletter

March edition is ready, thanks to CM and MMcV.

The EC discussed the statistics of our newsletter and how we can get information about it. Instead of sending the whole newsletter out as attached pdf, we could just send a list of the topic with links to the whole newsletter on our website. This way we could get detailed statistics. The newsletter itself doesn’t need to be changed at all for this technical improvement.

We also have no numbers and stats of our website.

  1. Awards

The first nomination for an article came in and was forwarded to the members of the jury.

  1. Other business

JF reports from his very successful workshop about screenwriting research.

He will write a short report for our next newsletter. JF also created a SRN banner, which could be used at other occasions.

CT reports that a German language network for screenwriting research will be founded in November. A CfP for the first workshop will be published in our newsletter.

Next meeting: Wednesday 24 April 2019, 21.30 Vienna Time

End of meeting: 22:30 Vienna time
