Call for Chapter Proposals – ReFocus: The Films of Antoinetta Angelidi
Edited by Sotiris Petridis and Penny Bouska
Antoinetta Angelidi is a Greek film director and visual artist. Her work is
unique and has had a significant impact on experimental cinema. She has
directed four full-length fiction films – Idées Fixes / Dies Irae
(1977), Topos (1985), The Hours: A Square Film (1995) and Thief or Reality (2001) – which have been screened at
international film festivals and contemporary art museums, while she has
also shot several short films and created visual installations. She is a
member of the European Film Academy (E.F.A.) and a founding member of the
Hellenic Film Academy (H.F.A.), of which she was the vice-president from
2009 to 2011. The inversion and juxtaposition of codes, as well as the
dream-mechanism and the uncanny, constitute her main creative strategies.
The complexity of cinematic heterogeneity and the narrative multiplicity of
different filmic elements characterize her work.
Although Antoinetta Angelidi is recognised as an important filmmaker and artist from Greece, there is lack of international academic texts and books regarding her work. Even if there are some books about Angelidi, all of them are in Greek, making it very difficult for international scholars to learn about and research her work. Moreover, these books have a biographical tone, and so there is no sustained academic monograph or edited collection that covers the entirety of her work. This edited collection will fill this gap in the academic community. The proposed edited collection intends to put together a comprehensive and fresh study of her work. Contributions may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
Please send your 300-word proposal and short bio to both editors of the volume, Sotiris Petridis and Penny Bouska, at the latest by 01 October 2019. Acceptances will be sent out in late October 2019. Final chapters will be expected to be around 7,000 words, in English, and referenced in Chicago endnote style. We are expecting final chapters on 01 March 2020. Our volume will be published by the University of Edinburgh Press in the ReFocus series on international directors. Series editors are Robert Singer, Gary D. Rhodes and Stefanie Van de Peer.
