If you teach young scholars, archivists, or artists, please spread the word to your students.
The Domitor Student Essay Award is an annual competition designed to stimulate interest in the field of early cinema studies, to involve young scholars and archivists in the activities of our organization, and to reduce
the gap between established and emerging generations of scholars and archivists of early cinema. It is crucia for the future of early cinema studies that young historians, theorists, and archivists present their work and enter
into discussion with current scholars and scholarship.
Although we imagine the general time frame for the period covered by the essays to be the late 1880s to 1915, we realize that cinema developed unevenly across the global stage. For that reason, submissions
treating cinema after 1915 in countries where early cinema practices postdate the proposed time frame will be given full consideration. Similarly, essays that examine the history and/or current status of early cinema’s
place in historiography, theory, or the archive are also welcomed.
Best of luck!
