Dear authors,
I would also like to welcome you to IAMCR 2023! I am sure we will have a lively discussion, both here and face to face in Lyon!
I would also like to take the opportunity to invite you to VIC CineClub, which I am curating. This is a virtual space for interaction, where all members of IAMCR sections and working groups are invited to share their comments on selected pieces of high-quality world cinema. Currently, in homage to France as host country of IAMCR, we are discussing 5 outstanding French films from past and present: “Breathless” (1960), “Muriel” (1963), “Swimming Pool” (2003), “Rust and Bone” (2012) and “Titane” (2021). Do you want to give us your feedback on one of these films? Just send me an e-mail with your comments and become part of our experience!
We are looking forward to reading and hearing from you!
Thomas Wiedemann, vice-chair of VIC (thomas.wiedemann@ifkw.lmu.de)

Dear everyone, welcome!

I am excited to read all of your contributions, exchange ideas and share knowledge with each other on the engaging subject matter of this session!

Atalya De Cock, Chair of this session (atalya.decock@ugent.be)

Dear authors,

Since our theme is 'Media Memory, Identity & Historical Imagination', I wondered how everyone's paper relates to this theme?

My paper engages with cinematic nostalgia and how it manifests itself in mainstream films today. Not solely in Hollywood cinema (in the form of legacy sequels and reboots such as Top Gun Maverick and Jurassic World) but also in more regional film industries such as the one I come from namely Flanders (the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium) in similar forms.

Sincerely,

Atalya

DEAR AUTHORS! I defy you to explain why your submission is part of this session! You have to analyze the title and verify if it is appropriate for your submission and how you can fit your submission inside the title! It is a challenge! Have a nice Sunday answering my question!
