MUSIC & THE MOVING IMAGE CONFERENCE XIV
Conference at NYU Steinhardt: Friday May 31st – Sunday June 2nd
The annual conference Music and the Moving Image encourages submissions from scholars and practitioners that explore the relationship between the entire universe of moving images (film, television, video games, iPhone, computer, and live performances) and that of music and sound through paper presentations. We encourage submissions from multidisciplinary teams that have been pooling their knowledge to solve problems or come up with a new perspective regarding music and moving images. The Keynote Speaker is TBA.
Abstracts or synopses of papers (250 words) should be submitted by no later than December 15, 2018.
The program committee includes Frank Lehman of Tufts (author of Hollywood Harmony: Musical Wonder and the Sound of Cinema, Oxford Univ. Press), Jessica Getman of University of Michigan (“A Series on the Edge: Social Tension in Star Trek’s Title Cue.” Society for American Music 9:3. Cambridge University Press), Joakim Tillman of Stockholm University (co-editor of Contemporary Film Music: Investigating Cinema Narratives and Composition, Palgrave Macmillan), and co-editors of Music and the Moving Image, Gillian B.

Professor, Director & Chair, Ron Sadoff (The Moon and the Son / Co-editor of Routledge Companion to Screen Music and Sound). This year’s conference will run for three days, from Friday May 31st – Sunday, June 2nd, with sessions until Sunday evening.
