The 11th Silent British Film Festival

Nottingham Broadway, 3-6th April 2008

RATS, RUFFIANS AND RADICALS: THE GLOBALISATION OF CRIME AND THE SILENT BRITISH FILM

Will feature a special panel session on Women and Silent Britain. This panel, which is separate from the main festival theme, will offer an introduction to/update on the activities of two projects:

> The International Women Film Pioneers

> The recently-formed British Women's Film History project.

The panel will also include short presentations highlighting recent research and issues related to the study of women and silent cinema. The event is still in its early stages of planning but we are keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in being part of this session either by presenting a short
paper or by contributing to an open panel discussion. Possible topics could range from studies of individuals to practical research-related issues. We would also welcome any other suggestions.Please contact Clare Watson and Nathalie Morris (University of East Anglia) at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
