Writers

Photogénie is looking for criticism that delves into histories of representation, possible futures without discrimination, or liminal states where apparitions haunt the frame – literally and metaphorically. Deadline: 13 May 2022 Photogénie is a collaborative and fostering environment where a diverse group of writers come together to discuss and celebrate film. Photogénie encourages its young writers and editors to assume curatorial responsibility and strive for a high standard of quality in the published texts, written by themselves or outside writers. How are these ideas channeled into film aesthetics? What are the formal dimensions of absence? What is shown and what can be shown: is the off-screen space ever absent? Why does English language criticism insist on the value of presence over absence and how can flipping the scales rewrite film now, in the past, or for the future? The deadline to submit pitches is 13th May. We will let you know if your pitch has been accepted by the week beginning 16th May. Email all questions and submissions to: editorialboard@photogenie.be
