Presented by Curtin University.

Taking place at the very start of the century’s third decade, the 2020 Revelation Academic Conference - 21st Century Screen Media: Ruptures and Continuities will be held in conjunction with two highly significant events: the 23rd Revelation International Film Festival and the 2nd XR-WA. Seeking to create a space of reflection and discussion about philosophical, cultural and technological continuities and discontinuities within screen culture and industry, the conference organisers would like to invite national and international proposals from scholars, researchers, creative practitioners, postgraduate students, cultural workers and cinephiles for 20-min papers, 5-min provocations and 5-min (or less) screen works.

Provocations and screen works will be presented alongside academic papers and/or in special screenings, displays and performances. The conference organisers welcome approaches from across the humanities and social sciences, as well as engagements with screen media and culture in areas of design, built environment, science and technology.

Registration includes:

• Light lunch
• Morning and afternoon tea
• Access to screenings
• Access to XR:WA Delegate Lounge
• Access to XR:WA Keynotes
