CALL FOR PAPERS
Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image 2025 Conference

Wednesday, June 4 to Saturday, June 7 2025
Edmonton, Canada - University of Alberta
Co-sponsored by the University of Alberta and University of Lethbridge

The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image (SCSMI) invites proposals for presentations at its annual conference to be held June 4 to June 7, 2025, at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. SCSMI is an interdisciplinary organization of scholars interested in cognitive, philosophical, aesthetic, historical, psychological, neuroscientific, and evolutionary approaches to the analysis of film and other moving image media. Presentations should facilitate the Society’s mission: to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue between moving image theorists, historians, critics, and philosophers, and scientifically-oriented researchers working on moving image media.

The conference will be held at the University of Alberta’s Humanities Centre
