Co-sponsored by the University of Alberta and University of Lethbridge
The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image (SCSMI) invites proposals for presentations at its annual conference to be held June 4 to June 7, 2025, at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. SCSMI is an interdisciplinary organization of scholars interested in cognitive, philosophical, aesthetic, historical, psychological, neuroscientific, and evolutionary approaches to the analysis of film and other moving image media.
Types of Proposals
Presenters must present original work that they have not presented elsewhere in one of the following four formats:
- Long Paper Presentation
A 50-minute session divided between a 25-minute presentation and a 25-minute Q&A. - Short Paper Presentation
A 25-minute session divided between a presentation of 15 minutes or less with the residual time used for discussion. - Poster Presentation or Demonstration
Any form of research display or demonstration. - Author-Meets-Critics Panel
A pre-constituted panel focusing on outstanding publications of interest to the Society. Anyone can propose an AMC panel on another’s work, but the author of the work must not be the proposer of the panel. Only works published between March 2024 and September 2025 will be considered for such panels.
Full descriptions of the types of presentations may be found on the submission website.
Presenter Information
Presenters must be current members of the Society. Nonmembers may submit a proposal but, if accepted, they must join SCSMI by Saturday, March 15, 2025 or acceptance will be withdrawn.
Presenters should plan to physically attend the conference. However, a limited number of online presentation slots will be made available on a needs basis, and can be requested as part of your presentation proposal. All presentations (not including special events) will also be accessible online.
Presenters unable to attend for financial reasons are encouraged to apply for a Travel Award. SCSMI will sponsor four travel awards for presenters in the amount of $1000 apiece. Travel award procedures and criteria are listed on the submission portal.
