Talking "shot on video" horror at SCMS

It's that time of year again!

Next week sees me deliver a paper at the annual Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference as part of a panel on Transnational Identity and Exploitation Cinema. My paper is concerned with the birthing of the "shot on video" horror film and represents early forays into a future book-length project.

The panel, organised by Ryan Rashotte, looks great, and I'm really happy to be part of it:
​

• Johnny Walker, Northumbria University: “Transnational Splatter Cinema and the Birth of the ‘Shot-on-Video’ Horror Film”
• Erin Wiegand, Northumbria University: “Mondo Americano: Tracing American and Italian Exploitation Traditions in the Mondo Films of Lee Frost and Bob Cresse”
• Ryan Rashotte, Lakeland University Japan: “Assimilating the Nude in Canuxploitation’s The Naked Flame”
• Iain Robert Smith, King’s College London: “The Whiteness of Cult”
