CONFERENCE
PROGRAM
 Land Acknowledgement
The land now known as Denver originally belonged to the Arapaho tribe, as laid out in the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie.
When gold was discovered in the late 1850s, white settlers arrived in the area in large numbers and began asserting
their right to the land, leading to the Treaty of Fort Wise in 1861 and cessation of land by some tribal leaders. In 1864,
the Sand Creek Massacre resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Arapaho and Cheyenne people, and soon after these
nations were relocated out of Colorado.

Other indigenous nations native to Colorado include the Apache, Comanche, Shoshone, and Ute. The latter includes the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, federally recognized tribes that have their current headquarters
in Ignacio, Colorado and Towaoc, Colorado, respectively. These groups have historically lived in the southern and
western portions of the state.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Denver was one of nine federal relocation sites, part of an effort to promote assimilation by
moving American Indian peoples from reservations to urban centers across the United States. As a result, approximately
7,000 people identifying as American Indian/Alaska Native reside in Denver today, making up just over one percent of
the city’s population. Denver’s indigenous history is highlighted at the Denver March Powwow, a three-day event held
each March since 1984. The event features over 1600 dancers from various tribes in the United States and Canada.

While in Denver, visit the History Colorado Center, Native American Trading Company, and Denver Art Museum to learn
more about the Denver area’s historical and current indigenous populations.

What is a Land Acknowledgment?

A Land Acknowledgment is a formal statement that recognizes and respects Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards
of this land and the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories.

Why do we recognize the land?

To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on, and a way
of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important
to understand the longstanding history that has brought us to reside on the land, and to seek to understand our place
within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense, or outside historical context: colonialism is
an ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that
acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.

http://www.lspirg.org/knowtheland

SCMS asks all panel chairs to please read this statement aloud at the beginning of
every session:
SCMS acknowledges, with respect, that the land we are on today is the traditional and ancestral homelands of
the Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations and peoples. We recognize the Indigenous peoples as original stewards of
this land. We also wish to acknowledge all other Indigenous Tribes and Nations who call Colorado home. It is
because of their sacrifices and hardships that we are able to be here to learn and share knowledge to advance
educational equity.

 Letter from the President
Greetings and welcome to the 61st annual Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference! This year marks our
return to the beautiful city of Denver, where we last met in 2002. Since that time, both the Society and the city have
undergone a number of changes. Over the last two decades, Denver’s population has increased exponentially, making
it one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the United States. Likewise, SCMS has experienced remarkable growth
and change as well. When we last met in Denver, for example, we were still the Society for Cinema Studies with a
membership made up of mostly film and television scholars. At that time, the conference was a four-day affair (starting
on Thursday afternoon and ending after one morning session on Sunday), with an average of 8 panels or workshops
per session, screenings, a few special events, and an opening plenary.
Like Denver, which has had to adjust to the social, political, and economic demands of rapid population growth, the
SCMS Board continues to address our changing demographics. This year’s conference spans over five days, with an
average of 21 panels, workshops, roundtables, and seminars scheduled each day. While this growth is noteworthy for a
number of reasons, both positive and negative, what is truly of note is the breadth of the interests our members bring
to this year’s conference. During the 2002 conference, the plenary topic was “Cinema Studies in a ‘New Media’ Age” and
focused on the changing definition of cinema in a new media environment. A brief glance at this year’s program with
its diversity of topics—digital technologies such as Virtual Reality, gaming, and streaming services, sound theories,
old and new television, and (even) cinema—indicates that, in fact, we’ve reached that “New Media” age as a Society.
Our growth has also led to the Board seeking new ways to address the needs of a diverse membership, and I wish
to thank the members of the Anti-Racism, Equity, and Diversity Task Force, the Global Task Force, and the newly-
established Precarious Labor Organization for helping the Society to think of new ways to address an academic
environment that is, on the one hand, increasingly reliant on contingent labor, while on the other hand, continuing
to hold back talented scholars and teachers from a broad swath of underrepresented groups. We know as a Society
that we still have a lot of ground to cover, but I look forward to working with such dedicated committee members on
innovative ways for supporting our membership. As well, I’d like to thank our generous donors, whose contributions
to our fundraising efforts have enabled an expansion of the grants awarded for conference travel. Such donations,
whether sustaining or one-time, add to the rich mixture of scholars and scholarship we hope defines your experience
at the conference.
One final, massive thanks goes to this year’s program committee, awards committee members, host committee
members, and the SCMS staff. As program chair, Miranda Banks led a dedicated and talented group of reviewers
through the proposal and scheduling process. Awards committee volunteers worked tirelessly to produce one of the
most scholarly diverse groups of winners in the Society’s history. Likewise, the host committee has arranged a variety
of special events. And our office staff members, Mona Springfield, Margot Tievant, and Erfana Enam, labored long hours
behind the scenes to make our conference a welcoming experience. You’ll find them at the registration desk during the
conference. I encourage you to stop by and say hello.

Paula J. Massood
President

Letter from Program Chair
Dear 2020 SCMS Conference Attendees,
On behalf of the 2020 SCMS Conference Committee, welcome to Denver!
Each of you has made a commitment to SCMS not just by coming to the conference this year but in your work for the
association throughout the year: by proposing panels, roundtables, seminars, papers, and workshops; by serving on
caucuses, committess, task forces, and scholarly interest groups; and by engaging with other members through formal
and informal mentorship or through groups on social media or listservs. While the conference is the highlight of the
year, your connection to SCMS is vital year-round.
I’d like express gratitude and thanks to the Program Committee: Murat Akser, Gilberto Blasini, Michelle Cho, Nilo Couret,
Michael Curtin, Liz Evans, Kristen Fuhs, Racquel Gates, Bärbel Göbel-Stolz, Gangita Gopal, Shelleen Greene, Hunter
Hargraves, Claire Henry, Tina Kendall, Bill Kirkpatrick, Andree Lafontaine, Elana Levine, Alfred Martin, Paula J. Massood,
Elizabeth Nathanson, Joshua B. Nelson, Gary Needham, Josef Nguyen, Priscilla Peña Ovalle, Samhita Sunya, Kirsten
Moana Thompson, Neil Verma, Pamela Robertson Wojick, and Justin Wyatt. I turned to my colleague, Mikki Kressbach
who I turned to for support with last minute organizing and titling open call panels. I’d like to thank Loyola Marymount
University School of Film and Television. I picked up the mantle of SCMS Conference Chair the same month that I
became Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Thank you to everyone at SCMS and at LMU who supported me through
these dual learning curves.
This year we received 848 open call paper proposals, 288 panel proposals, 12 workshop proposals, 24 roundtable
proposals, and 30 seminar proposals. The most surprising trend was the increased number of open call papers. The
Program Committee’s charge has been thoughtfully constructed and modified over the years by a series of dedicated
Program Chairs. Building off the thoughtful and creative suggestions of the Antiracism, Equity, and Diversity Task
Force and the Global Task Force, I updated the judging guidelines. The intervention was twofold: to do a deeper dive
into the language describing the ranking numbers to ensure fairness and consistency, and to offer more guidance to
judges about the formation of panels to encourage equity and diversity. What this has led to is the opportunity for our
hard-working program committee to create thoughtful exchanges between scholars and exciting opportunities for
intellectual engagement and community building between panelists and attendees.
The SCMS home office has worked hard this year. We are so lucky to have Paula Massood as our president. Her
leadership, clarity of vision, mentorship, and guidance has been invaluable. The Board of Directors and all of the Officers
stepped in with speed and grace whenever help was needed. Leslie LeMond, equal parts wisdom and wit, is a national
treasure. Many thanks to Mona Springfield who came to the Conference Program Coordinator position with kindness
and grace. Conference scheduler, TJ West, went through multiple drafts of the program with me to make sure that days
coalesced together and flowed. Del LeMond, the master of our program’s layout, finessed the conference program into
its final shape—and designed the gorgeous cover. Thanks, as well, to Margot and Erfana for their generosity in every
respect in addressing my questions and offering support. And more than once, Molly Youngblood stepped in with her
expertise to save the day.
It was a pleasure to serve as Chair of the Program Committee with such a talented team of scholars and home office
staff and I’m grateful to all of them for their hard work.
Finally, a thank you to everyone presenting at the conference this weekend. It was a joy to read your proposals. I look
forward to hearing your talks, going to your evening events, and being a part of the conversations our membership will
have in the coming days. I hope you all have a wonderful conference.
Sincerely,
Miranda Banks

Conference FAQs
How Are Panels Structured?
Panels typically feature 3–4 speakers giving a 20-minute paper. The chair may or may not be one of the speakers.
Presenters may need to limit presentations to less than 20 minutes, especially if the panel also includes a formal
respondent, or to accommodate more time for Q&A with the audience.

How Do Workshops Differ From Panels?

Workshops are interactive discussions led by one or two facilitators, who may speak for 5–10 minutes at the start.
They are intended to be dialogic, interactive, and productive workspaces. Topics typically focus on pedagogy, research
strategies, and methodologies but may also explore major intellectual issues or trends in the discipline. Workshops
may include additional speakers but should emphasize participation by all session attendees involved together in
sharing best practices, working on a text together, role-playing an interview, demonstrating a technique, or any other
productive interaction.

How Do Roundtables Differ From Panels?

Roundtables have 4–6 programmed participants, including the chair. Participants do not read papers but make very
brief opening remarks, of no more than five minutes each. Following these statements, roundtables open up discussion
among the panelists, followed by open discussion with the audience.

What Are Seminars?

Seminars are sessions in which nobody presents. Participants will have submitted short papers in advance, so
everyone can read each other’s papers before the conference. The seminars therefore function as a colloquium. In
the seminar, leaders should ensure that all eight participants speak but should not go around the room and solicit
summaries of each essay. 15
 Policy on Virtual Participation in Conferences
The SCMS annual conference requires physical attendance by all presenters. Although the Society is encouraged
by recent innovations in teleconferencing technology and appreciates the many contingencies that may prevent
attendance, this policy is based on the following concerns: 1) the annual conference places a premium on face-to-
face interaction and conference-wide participation; 2) at most conference hotels technology costs are prohibitive
and performance is unpredictable; 3) virtual linkages and technology mishaps tend to undermine the overall flow of
conversation and interaction; 4) a stable connection often consumes excessive bandwidth and therefore comes at
the expense of other conference events; and 5) the Society offers other options for virtual participation and exchange
through its website and social media venues.

2020 Audio Visual Policy

The following equipment will be standard in all panel/roundtable/workshop rooms at the conference:

• an LCD/multimedia data projector (with audio)

• HDMI Cable—if your laptop does not have a HDMI port, you will need to borrow/purchase an HDMI connector/
adapter (dongle) that allows your laptop to connect to the projector
• Mini Audio Jack
• Power strip
• Wireless internet access—log in using wireless network: Sheraton-Meeting Room, access code: SCMS2020
(further instructions see below)

Because the cost of equipping rooms with computers is prohibitively expensive, we must ask you to bring your own
laptop if you plan to use projection. In addition to your own laptop, please be sure to bring your power cord and
any proprietary cords required for your computer. Wireless internet access will be provided in the panel/workshop
rooms and conference space. We will not be offering computers, DVD players, overhead projectors, slide projectors, CD
players and/or additional audio components. If you have questions about AV or the Society’s audiovisual policy, please
contact our Director of Conferences & Events.

Sheraton Internet Access Code

Access Code: SCMS2020
How to connect in the Sheraton Meeting Rooms:
Turn on and enable your Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) adapter on your computer/device.
Search and select the wireless network (SSID) for “Sheraton-Meeting Room”. Your wireless
adapter should show “Connected”.
Launch your Internet browser, go to a public Internet page (i.e. google.com) and you
should be redirected to the guest login page.
Enter the Access Code SCMS2020 in the appropriate field on the login page.
Accept the Terms (if applicable) and click the Connect Now button to login.
You should be redirected to your home page and are now connected to the Internet.
16
Best Practices
Panels and workshops with multiple presentations using projection are encouraged to coordinate before their session
time to have all presentations on a single computer or flash drive. Designate one person’s laptop for use during the
session; load all presentations onto the laptop before the session; and test the presentation to make sure they will work
with the software on the designated laptop.

We cannot accommodate changes or requests for AV equipment onsite. SCMS is not responsible for the safety and
security of attendee computers. Thank you for your cooperation.

Assistance with AV during the Conference

If your room’s equipment is malfunctioning or you are having difficulty, please contact a PSAV technician—303-961-8593.
You may call or text. State you would like a PSAV technician to come to the room and tell them the issue you are
experiencing. You may also call if you need a PSAV technician to come speak with you if you have extensive questions
to ask before your presentation.

and SCMS Fieldnotes Collaboration
fieldnotes
The Fieldnotes Committee (Chair Chris Holmlund, Raphael Raphael and Michael Zryd) is
delighted to announce a new collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences and its Oral History Projects (OHP) Department. With this donation to the Academy,
OHP along with the Academy Film Archive as the archival repository, will steward the
Fieldnotes collection and provide cataloging and preservation support. This collaboration
represents a new era for the interview project, started in 2014 by Haidee Wasson to conduct,
circulate, and archive interviews with forerunners in film and media studies.
The following scholars are scheduled to be interviewed during the 2020 SCMS Conference
in Denver: Anna Everett, Jan-Christopher Horak, Barb Klinger, Chon Noriega, Philip Rosen,
Jacqueline Stewart, Maureen Turim, and Janet Walker.
Richard Abel, Wendy Chun, Mette Hjort (forthcoming on the Fieldnotes webpage), Akira Lippit, Gina Marchetti,
Laura Marks, Lisa Nakamura, Bill Nichols, Jan Ollson (forthcoming), Ellen Seiter, Clyde Taylor (forthcoming),
Graeme Turner, Brian Winston, and Charles Wolfe (forthcoming) were interviewed during 2019.

Sustainability
The Sheraton Denver Downtown is a proud recipient of a “4 Green Keys” rating, the second highest achievable from
Green Key Global’s Green Key Eco-Rating Program, a graduated rating system designed to recognize hotels, motels,
and resorts committed to improving their environmental and fiscal performance. In addition, the city of Denver has
paved the way in sustainable design. Named the No. 1 “green meeting” city in the United States by Greenbiz.com.

For more about SCMS and sustainability, please visit https://www.cmstudies.org/page/going_green

Once you have arrived at the conference, please consider these greening options:

• Make a Green Choice Program—Thanks to this hotel initiative, you can enjoy a $5 voucher at participating food
and beverage outlets or get 500 Starpoints awarded at check-out for each night you decline housekeeping
(except day of departure). To participate in the Make a Green Choice program, please tell the hotel at check-in or
look for the door hanger in your guest room.
• Linen Services—Cancel daily hotel linen service whenever possible.
• Cleaning Products—Use your own toiletry products (shampoo, soap, etc).
• SCMS Soap Drive—SCMS will collect opened and unopened hotel soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and
other toiletry items, used or unused, that people in need might find useful. Please take your donations to the
Registration area and look for the soap drive bin.
• Recycling—Utilize paperless check-in, check-out, and billing procedures. Use the many recycling cans around
the hotel. Reduce your electricity and water use in rooms.
• Name Badges and Conference Programs—Look for the bins in Registration area to recycle your name badge
and conference program.
• Electric Vehicle Charging Station—To find a nearby place to plug in an electric car (EV), use PlugShare’s
(plugshare.com) database of over 50,000 charging station .

Wellness
Nursing room—You are welcome to nurse wherever you feel comfortable feeding your child. If you are looking for
a more private space, you can use the SCMS Nursing Room (Client Office 2, Concourse Level, Plaza Building). A
refrigerator will be available.

Quiet room—During the conference, persons who desire a quiet place to prepare for a presentation may visit the SCMS
Quiet Room (Client Office 1, Concourse Level, Plaza Building).

Fitness Center—Located on the 5th Floor (Tower Building), the Sheraton fitness center features complimentary 24/7
guest access. The exercise room is equipped with state-of-the-art Life Fitness Signature Series equipment.

 Effects of High Altitude
Denver is 5,280 feet above sea level, and we want to make sure all participants prepare to acclimate to the higher
elevation to best enjoy this remarkable city and experience. (https://www.denver.org)

Arrive Early—If possible, we encourage you to arrive in Denver 12–24 hours before your first conference activity. Being
at altitude for a number of hours before exerting yourself will allow your body to acclimate and you will feel better
during the busy conference.

Drink Water—Drinking plenty of water is the number one way to help your body adjust easily to Denver’s higher
altitude. The low humidity in Colorado keeps the air dry, like the desert, so you need twice as much water here as you
would drink at home. In fact, prepare your body by hydrating before your trip to Denver, as well as during your visit.

Monitor Your Alcohol Intake—In Denver’s rarified air, golf balls go ten percent farther and so do cocktails. Alcoholic
drinks pack more of a wallop than at sea level. It is recommended that you go easy on the alcohol in the mountains and
in Denver, as its effects will feel stronger here.

Eat Foods High in Potassium—Foods such as broccoli, bananas, avocado, cantaloupe, celery, greens, bran, chocolate,
granola, dates, dried fruit, potatoes and tomatoes will help you replenish electrolytes by balancing salt intake.

Watch Your Physical Activity—The effects of exercise are more intense here. If you normally run 10 miles a day at
home, you might try 6 miles in Denver.

Pack for Sun—With less water vapor in the air at this altitude, the sky really is bluer in Colorado. But there’s also 25
percent less protection from the sun, so sunscreen is a must. Denver receives over 300 days of sunshine each year
(more than San Diego or Miami). Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and lip balm.

Dress in Layers—Two days before your trip to Denver, check the weather and use this information to pack appropriately.
Because Denver is closer to the sun, it can feel much warmer than the actual temperature during the daytime, but then
become very chilly after sundown. It is best to layer your clothing. Bring a rain poncho for potentially-brief pop-up
afternoon storms.

Nominations for Distinguished Pedagogy &

Distinguished Career Achievement Awards
All SCMS members—graduate students, part‑ and full‑time faculty, and independent scholars—are warmly
encouraged to nominate scholars they consider deserving of the Distinguished Career Achievement and
Distinguished Pedagogy awards. A short nominating statement, submitted via an online form, is required by
August 1 in each case. For further information, including additional criteria required for each award, please visit
the Awards section of the SCMS website: cmstudies.org.

26
Accessibility
The Society for Cinema & Media Studies is committed to providing access and accommodation in its services, programs,
activities, education, and employment for individuals with disabilities.

The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is also committed to making their facilities, amenities, and services accessible
to guests with disabilities. That commitment entails removing barriers and making reasonable modifications to their
policies, practices, or procedures so as to give people with disabilities the same opportunities as other guests in the
ways they access and benefit from the property’s products and services.

All areas of the facility are wheelchair accessible. Electronic doors are located at the main lobby entrance. The main
lobby has a marble floor, and there are no restrictive steps to enter the hotel. Restrooms in lobbies and on meeting
room floors are ADA accessible, wheelchair accessible, and have tactile signage. Elevators connect all levels of the
property, and each elevator has Braille numerals beside each control button. Valet parking and on site accessible self-
parking is available. The hotel has an accessible fitness center, swimming pool and business center.

Guest Rooms—Mobility-accessible doors feature at least 32 inches of clear door width. There are 12 accessible rooms
with king beds; five of these have roll-in bathrooms. There is an accessible route from the public entrance to accessible
guest rooms. Accessible rooms also offer the following: adjustable height hand-held shower wand, bathroom vanity
at an appropriate height, grab bars in the bathroom, toilet seat at wheelchair height, doors with lever handles, a
lowered deadbolt, lowered electrical outlets, lowered night guards and peepholes on guest room doors, and no
transfer showers are available. Hearing-accessible features include a visual fire alarm, portable communications kits
containing visual alarms and notification devices, and TTY. TVs have closed captioning.

Meeting Rooms—All rooms and floors of the hotel are accessible.

Restaurants—There are restaurants on the street level and they are accessible.

Conference Events—All conference events at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel are fully accessible by elevator.

On-Site Accessibility Issues—If you are an attendee who has access needs, or you would like more information about
the hotel’s special services relating to a specific disability, please speak with a Guest Services Representative in the
Lobby (either at hotel registration or the concierge desk) or contact Asuvini Vengadasalam, Senior Event Manager, at
303-626-2590 or [email protected].

Should you encounter an accessibility issue at SCMS 2020, please notify the hotel’s front desk so they can assist you
immediately. You may also report the problem by e-mail at [email protected].

For information regarding Accessible Transportation, Scooter Rentals, Service Animal policies, and other Accessibility
information, please look on the SCMS website under the Conference Tab > SCMS Policies > Accessibility.

27
 Inclusion
Pronouns—As part of SCMS’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, we will provide pronoun stickers at Registration
for your name badge. Meeting registrants were also given the opportunity to choose to identify their pronouns in
advance and have them printed directly on their badges. Stickers will be available for pickup at Registration and can
easily be worn as a show of solidarity and a means of making our annual conference a friendly and safe environment
for all.

All-Gender Restrooms—SCMS is committed to making the conference accessible and welcoming to our entire
community. Gender-neutral restrooms are an important part of making the annual conference more inclusive. All-
person, all-access restrooms are available at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel on the Concourse Level, Plaza
Building (close to Plaza Ballrooms D & E) as well as on the Majestic Level, Tower Building. All-Gender Restrooms will be
clearly marked with signs outside of the restroom entrances and are also designated on the maps on page 20 & 23. To
find other safe restrooms in Denver, visit Refuge <refugerestrooms.org>.

Fragrance Free Conference Environment—In the interest of supporting our colleagues with sensitivity to alcohol
and scent, we ask that attendees refrain from or limit their use of perfumes or fragrances. Perfumes and fragrances
(including scented lotions) can negatively affect people with multiple chemical sensitive syndrome (MCS), asthma,
and/or autoimmune disorders. For every 100 people in America, there is an average of 10 with asthma, 20 with an
autoimmune disorder and/or 12.5 with MCS.

Dependent Care Subsidies—This year, SCMS established a Dependent Care Fund to offset the cost of conference-
based dependent care expenses to graduate students and contingent faculty. These need-based subsidies provided
assistance of up to $400 for the costs of dependent care at home or at the conference site. A committee established by
the Board reviewed applications and allocated funds prior to the conference.

Family Friendly Conference—SCMS 2020 is family friendly and will include “children’s registration”—there will be a
kids’ table in the Plaza Foyer, Concourse Level, Plaza Building with art and craft supplies as well as some quiet toys
(books, puzzles and so on). We will have blank badges for kids to make and decorate. The conference registration desk
will also have a small “party favor” bag for children in attendance.

In addition, Denver is an excellent destination for families. Local parks, the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature
& Science, the Downtown Aquarium, the Denver Trolley, and the Denver Firefighters Museum are just a few of the
activities for kids to enjoy. The world-class Denver Art Museum—free for those 18 and younger every day and free to
all visitors the first Saturday of each month—is a great place to introduce kids to the wide and wonderful world of art.
Every gallery on every floor of this expansive museum has something fun for families.

Posted to the SCMS website is a list of useful information for families, including the location of nearby parks, grocery
stores, pharmacies, and urgent care or emergency rooms. You can find it under the Conference tab > Denver Travel
Information > Childcare.

Finally, remember that you can connect with other parents with children via our childcare forum (http://bit.ly/37Ng7Yz).
Through this forum, families can get to know each other and create connections that may be helpful for setting up
conference play dates and shared childcare.

SCMS Anti-Harassment Statement
As an association, the Society for Cinema and Media Studies is strongly committed to building and supporting a robust
scholarly and educational community built on the tenets of diversity, equity, and the free and civil exchange of ideas
with fundamental respect for the rights, dignity, and value of all persons (See SCMS Position Statement November 21,
2016). The values of respect, equity, and nondiscrimination should inform conduct whether in speech or act; whether
in formal, informal or social settings; whether in-person or remotely.

At our national conference and throughout the year, SCMS is committed to providing an environment where all
members, participants, and volunteers are treated with equal consideration in a harassment-free space. Certain
behavior is specifically prohibited and will not be tolerated in person, in writing, or remotely, including: harassment or
intimidation based on race, religion, language, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability,
appearance, or other protected group status; sexual harassment or intimidation, including verbal harassment,
unwelcome sexual attention, stalking (physical or virtual), sexual coercion, or unsolicited physical contact; the use
of power or professional status to threaten, coerce, or harass someone, whether verbally or physically; or threatening
behavior, whether verbal or physical. During the annual conference as well as any SCMS sponsored events, participants
(whether members, presenters, staff, students, attendees, guests, vendors, contractors, exhibitors, volunteers, or media
representatives) are expected to observe these rules and behaviors in all conference venues, meetings, special events,
tours, receptions, hotel spaces, as well as online venues and social events on or off site involving members. Within the
context of SCMS policy and the professional practices of scholarship, critical examination of beliefs and viewpoints
does not, by itself, constitute hostile conduct or harassment. Similarly, the use of imagery or language in the context of
a professional discussion might not constitute hostile conduct or harassment.

If you have experienced any unwelcome behavior or harassment, please contact any member of the Board of Directors,
a member of Hotel Security, and/or a local police officer. Please report any physical assault or threats to the local police
department.

Reporting an incident of harassment does not obligate the complainant to pursue any further action. Everyone will be
treated fairly and with dignity and respect throughout the investigation process due to the enormous consequences
an allegation of harassment can have for all parties involved. To the extent possible, the investigation will be handled
confidentially and sensitively. All allegations will be documented by a designated member of the Board of Directors or
SCMS Home Office and may, if warranted, be referred to local law enforcement. SCMS will handle matters that fall under
a violation of these policies individually, in a manner deemed fit by the Board of Directors.

CONFERENCE
SESSIONS
instructions
for Panel and Workshop Chairs
1. Presentations should not exceed 90 minutes total, to ensure discussion time.

• When one panelist goes over time, other panelists or workshop participants are deprived of a fair
opportunity to present their research/comments.

• Audience members are rightfully upset when there is no time to ask questions.

2. SCMS asks all panel chairs to please read this statement aloud at the beginning of each session:
SCMS acknowledges, with respect, that the land we are on today is the traditional and ancestral
homelands of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations and peoples. We recognize the Indigenous peoples as
original stewards of this land. We also wish to acknowledge all other Indigenous Tribes and Nations who
call Colorado home. It is because of their sacrifices and hardships that we are able to be here to learn
and share knowledge to advance educational equity.

3. Technology problems cut into panel times. Please have panelists check their technology (DVDs, laptops,
flash drives) in advance.

4. Please check that all visuals and audio are functional before your session begins.

5. All papers must be presented in person by the author. Skype or other teleconference presentations are
not allowed at SCMS conferences.

6. Chairs should give their panelists signals for 5 minutes left, 2 minutes left, and “please wrap up” at the
20-minute mark.

7. Chairs who are presenting papers should designate one of the panelists to time their paper when they
are presenting.

8. Please end your session promptly to allow time for travel between panels and set-up for the next
session.

Please Note
Presentation and meeting rooms at the Sheraton Denver are aligned with session numbers for the duration of the
conference. As different spaces are utilized each day, please excuse any skipped session numbers!

Screening the New Egypt
The Silent News and Fiction Films of Pioneer Mohamed Bayoumi
SCREENING AND DISCUSSION
room Windows■  SECOND LEVEL, TOWER BUILDING
Of the tens of Egyptian films that date to the silent era merely sixteen are known to have survived in part or in full,
of which fifteen were made by a single pioneer—Mohamed Bayoumi. Bayoumi’s surviving films are notable not
only for their preciousness as historical artifacts, but also for the times they document. Bayoumi made films, both
newsfilms and fiction, for a decade, beginning in 1923, year of the founding of the modern constitutional monarchy.
His newsfilms serve as a cinematic chronicle of significant developments in the new nation, while his fiction works
point to technical, narrative, generic and other signifiers of filmmaking practices in Egypt of the era. This special
event features eight of Bayoumi’s shorts and introduces a more inclusive and transnational understanding of the
silent era. Recently restored, these films are framed by the “lecture film” presentation of early cinema scholar
Mohannad Ghawanmeh.

Visions of Colorado
Brakhage and Beyond
D ISCUSSION AND SCREENING
location Counterpath Press  ■  7935 E. 14TH STREET, DENVER

The light in Colorado was one of the inspirations that led visionary artist Stan Brakhage to experiment over several
decades with film, from high in the mountains down to the plains. In turn, other filmmakers and friends entered
his conversation with light and vision. A selection of 16mm films, with a running time just under ninety minutes,
honor his ongoing presence in the state and on the state of experimental filmmaking. We open the screening with
two films by Brakhage that exemplify his visualization of life in the Rocky Mountains with his wife Jane and their
five children. We follow that with a newly preserved print of Barbara Hammer’s 1974 film Jane Brakhage, in which
Jane speaks about her connection to the mountains. We have included three films by Phil Solomon (one made in
collaboration with Stan Brakhage), who passed away in 2019. We have included a film by Jeanne Liotta, a New York
filmmaker who teaches at CU Boulder—this is her self-described “most Brakhagean” film. Mary Beth Reed, a student
of Stan’s who later worked with him step-printing his film Chinese Series, made Moose Mountain, which directly
conjures ideas of Colorado with maps. Brakhage hand-picked Jennifer Reeves’ work to showcase in New York in the
1990s, and we have included her film The Girl’s Nervy which is clearly inspired by his hand-painted films. We end
with Phil Solomon’s elegiac—and quite different digital film—Rehearsals for Retirement.

The Media, Science and Technology and Video Games Studies SIGs are sponsoring a visit to the Media Archaeology
Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder. The MAL is one of the few places in the United States dedicated to the
preservation of a range of “obsolete” and rare media technologies, from electrical “love” meters to vector-based
video game systems and beyond. Staff member libi rose striegl will lead a guided tour of the facility as well as offer
visitors a chance to explore its many computers, gaming systems, mediatic curiosities, and related library holdings
on their own. This event will be specifically curated for the SCMS audience, with rare hardware and relevant software
such as Ian Bogost’s Atari VCS “game poems” A Slow Year and bpNichol’s 1984 First Screening Apple IIe poetry set
up and ready for use. Striegl and 2019 MAL resident Andrew Lison (University at Buffalo, SUNY) will also discuss the
lab’s residency program offering scholars and artists the opportunity to engage in a longer, more focused period of
interaction with its holdings.

A Celebration of the Experimental Work
of Barbara Hammer
Screening and Discussion
room Windows ■ SECOND LEVEL, TOWER BUILDING
This screening will celebrate the work and life of lesbian experimental and documentary filmmaker Barbara Hammer
on the one-year anniversary of her passing away. With a filmmaking and teaching career that spanned 50 years,
the internationally recognized, lively, and prolific Hammer made over eighty films and videos mostly with lesbian
subject matter. She was quite simply the mother of lesbian-feminist experimental cinema in the 1970s, served as an
influential mentor to generations of queer and experimental filmmakers, and continued as an active filmmaker and
visual artist up until her death in March 2019. In the last decade of her life, Hammer was honored with numerous
retrospectives, including The Museum of Modern Art in 2010, The Tate Modern in London and Paris at Jeu de Paume in
2012, and the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013. Ensuring that her work is available to scholars of the future,
her notebooks, journals, manuscripts, correspondence, and photographs are now archived at the Beinecke Library
at Yale University and her extensive film work is distributed by Electronic Arts Intermix in New York City. Near the
end of her life, Hammer also established the Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant, an annual
grant awarded by NYC’s Queer|Art to self-identified lesbians for making visionary moving-image art. This screening
will celebrate a range of her work, marking the shifts in structure, style and content beginning with the playful 1974
lesbian-feminist film, Dyketactics, and ending with her profound 2008 film, A Horse is Not a Metaphor, a meditation
on her personal fight against stage 3 ovarian cancer. The screening will conclude with an open discussion of her
work moderated by Sarah Keller and Ron Gregg who have taught and written on Hammer’s work.

100 Year Anniversary
Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates
SCREENING AND Q&A
location Regal UA Pavilions  ■  500 16TH ST. #310, DENVER
Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates is one of the most significant but overlooked films in American film history.
As an independent, African-American filmmaker, Micheaux’s response to D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation presented
an alternative view of the dominant narrative of racial conditions in the United States and directly addressed the
absence of significant black characters on the nation’s screens. In honor of this pioneering work, SCMS will host
a 100th anniversary screening featuring a live musical accompaniment and followed by a brief discussion of the
significance of Micheaux’s work.
The film will be shown at the Regal Cinema UA Denver Pavilions, a five minute walk from the conference hotel.

SCREENING AND Q&A
location Sie FilmCenter  ■  2510 E. COLFAX AVENUE, DENVER
transit: 15 minutes from the conference hotel on the 15 bus line (Colfax/Broadway to Colfax/Josephine)
Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street, the 2020 winner for “Best LGBT Documentary of the Year” at the Dorian
Awards, is a new documentary by filmmakers Roman Chimienti and Tyler Jensen. The film examines the 1985 horror
film Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge and its star, Mark Patton. NOES2 was derided by fans during its
initial release for its queer subtext, which involved an S&M leather bar, a homoerotic shower scene, and Patton’s
turn as a male scream queen. Patton, a closeted homosexual at the time, found himself ostracized by Hollywood
and retreated from fame. 30 years later, Patton returns to tell his story about the homophobia and AIDSphobia he
encountered in 1980s Hollywood. Part film analysis, part memoir, and part fan documentary, Scream Queen! offers
a unique perspective on the horror genre, queer spectatorship, and stardom. Scream Queen! has been featured
in queer film festivals such as CinemaQ in Denver, Frameline in San Francisco, and OutFest in Los  Angeles. It
celebrated its official premiere in November at Fantastic Fest, the largest genre film festival in the country. https://

Townhall Meeting on Precarious Labor
room Plaza Ballroom F  ■  CONCOURSE LEVEL, PLAZA BUILDING
Academic labor is in crisis, a crisis that extends beyond the problems of the job market and the precarious working
conditions at universities and colleges. The structures of academia (journals, conferences, service to the field, etc.)
are all premised on a tenure system that no longer represents reality for an increasing majority of scholars. SCMS—
like every academic organization—must reexamine all of its practices with this in mind in order to ensure that it is
not complicit in systems of exploitation and that it is open to the full participation of all film and media scholars.
This special townhall meeting for all SCMS members is devoted to the questions of precarity as they relate to the
organization itself and the field of film and media studies as a whole. What can film and media scholars, SCMS and
its members do to address the global crisis in academic labor? Chaired by SCMS Board member Rebecca Gordon,
the townhall will feature a series of presentations and proposals by representatives of SCMS caucuses and SIGs,
along with the Graduate Student Organization and the Precarious Labor Organization. A discussion and debate on
each proposal will follow, allowing for questions, comments, and amendments. The aim is to produce concrete
proposals that can be presented to the PLO membership (via online forums), SCMS board, or general membership
for approval, support or further action.

Empathy Machines
Virtual Reality Storytelling
VIRTUAL REALIT Y SCREENING AND RECEPTION
location University of Colorado Denver Next Stage Gallery ■ 1025 13TH ST., DENVER

Denver is a vibrant and creative 21st century city. The Denver Host Committee has put together a virtual reality
exhibition to introduce the SCMS membership to the possibilities of VR for narrative storytelling. The title Empathy
Machines draws on a quote from Roger Ebert about film’s potential as a technology for us to escape our own body
and empathize with others. With that in mind, attendees will be able to experience seven different virtual reality
short films, representing a variety of modes of storytelling and audience engagement which include Fire Escape,
Out of Exile: Daniel’s Story, 6x9, and The Key. There will be sign-in sheets for attendees to curate their experience. The
event will take place at Next Stage Gallery in the beautiful Denver Performing Arts Complex, an iconically Denver
space which is only a 6-minute walk from the host hotel. Next door to the Next Stage Gallery is the Limelight Lounge,
where members can enjoy a cocktail while they wait for their VR experience.
Refreshments will be provided.

The Society for Cinema and Media Studies announces
its call for proposals for the 2021 conference.
