<span style="font-kerning:none">As a conclusion to the (slightly delayed) <a href="http://besidesthescreen.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-kerning:none;color:#ac8a2b">Besides the Screen</span></a> 10th Anniversary programme of events,
the 2021 conference builds upon the network’s previous work examining the continuing transformations of audiovisual practice,<b> </b>to investigate the reconfigurations of screen industries, cultures, spaces and places through examining sites of production,
infrastructures of circulation, film festivals, film tourism, and city branding. In short, the way place/space intersects with the multiple sites of production, circulation, promotion and consumption surrounding screen (incl. Film/TV, games, interactive arts)
industries and cultures. The conference will explore the more established scholarship related to these topics (film festivals, city branding, transnational co-production, film/TV tourism) as well as expanding the conversation to represent the newly established
or emerging topics (e-sports, virtual concerts). </span></p>

<span style="font-kerning:none">The conference will be a hybrid (physical/virtual) event hosted by the School of International Communications at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (CN), in partnership with King’s College, London (UK) and Queen’s
University (CA). As ever with BtSN events, the theme of the conference is deliberately expansive to bring together interdisciplinary perspectives and we welcome scholars emerging and established to submit proposals for papers, video essays, and short films<b> </b>dealing
