Films emerging from this cultural region rarely find their way to international festivals or cinemas, only
Thailand having begun to establish a worldwide reputation as a film nation. The Ludwigsburg Film Conference
2010 therefore primarily brings productions from Southeast Asia to screen by focusing its debate on the topos of
the city...We welcome submissions with thematic, aesthetic, socio-cultural, narrative, spatial, architectural,
and economic perspectives on megacities in (Southeast) Asian film that, ideally, connect various perspectives.
The conference focuses on Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and
Vietnam. Submissions from researchers working on other Asian countries are also encouraged, particularly if they
address cinematic exchange processes within Asia. Suggestions for film presentations are welcome. The conference
languages are German and English.
"The Ludwigsburg Film Conference invites established as well as young researchers. Paper presentations should
not exceed 25 minutes. Travel and accommodation expenses can partly be reimbursed. Conference participants
