CONFERENCE WELCOME
A very warm welcome to the European Screens Conference at the
Department of Theatre, Film and Television, University of York, UK. We are
delighted to be able to showcase over 40 research papers by academics
from across Europe and beyond, covering the latest work on cultural
diversity, transnational audiences, co-productions, historical drama,
national representation, small national cinemas, and trends in European
production, distribution, exhibition and consumption.
This conference marks the end of the HERA-funded Mediating Cultural
Encounters through European Screens (MeCETES) project. This threeyear project, involving a team of 18 researchers and support staff
from the University of York (UK), University of Copenhagen (Denmark)
and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium), has sought to develop a better
understanding, firstly, of the production, funding, distribution and policy
contexts which enable European films and television drama series to
travel within Europe, and secondly, how European audiences engage
with screen fictions from or about other European nations. The MeCETES
team will be presenting their research findings in two special plenary
panels, followed by a keynote presentation by the project leader, Andrew
Higson, on the role which film and TV drama play in constructing a sense of
belonging to and identifying with Europe.
Developing a meaningful dialogue between industry and academia
has been a key element of the MeCETES project. With the guidance and
assistance of our Academic Advisory Board and Industry Partners, we
have organised a series of academic-industry conferences, including
“Making European Film and Television Drama” at the Ostend Film Festival in
September 2014, “A New European Film and Television Culture: Trends and
Challenges” at the Danish Film Institute in September 2015, and “UK Film
Distribution: What’s Changing?” at the Regent Street Cinema, London, in
June 2016.
The European Screens Conference continues our commitment to
engaging with industry professionals and policymakers with debates on
“The future of public service broadcasting” and “Enabling the circulation
of European film”. We have also invited leading academic researchers
in the field of European film and media studies to contribute to a series of
special plenary panels on “Transnational adventures: European screens,
European identities”, “Well-travelled European drama” and “The state of
European cinema”, combining both industry and academic expertise.
Three months ago, the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European
Union. While the exact terms and timing of the split remain unclear,
Brexit will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences for the film
and television industries in both the UK and in the rest of Europe. It is
therefore appropriate that our conference closes with a debate on the
consequences of Brexit involving key industry players, including Amanda
Nevill (British Film Institute), Tim Bevan (Working Title Films) and Mike
Downey (European Film Academy).
Whatever future deal the UK eventually secures with the EU, we are
determined to ensure that UK academia maintains its vital cultural,
intellectual and academic links with scholars in the rest of Europe. There
has never been a more important time for European film and media
scholars to come together in the spirit of European collaboration,
co-operation and cultural exchange, and in particular for UK-based
academics to maintain and strengthen links with friends and colleagues in
the rest of Europe. We hope the European Screens Conference goes some
way to achieving that important aim.

Internet
Free access is available at all venues via Eduroam, if you have your own
account. In addition, at the University of York, access is provided via the
network “CityConnectWiFi”, which can be accessed via Facebook, Twitter
or LinkedIn, or through registering a new account.
Social media
We encourage you to share your thoughts about the conference via
social media. For Twitter or Facebook, use the #EuroScreens hashtag. You
can follow the MeCETES project on Twitter (@mecetes1) and Facebook
(www.facebook.com/mecetes). Also check out the MeCETES website
for further information about the project and blogs on European film,
television drama and audiovisual policy: www.mecetes.co.uk
Entry formalities
The British people recently voted in a referendum to leave the EU.
However, for the time being, the UK remains a full member of the EU and
rights and obligations for travelling to the UK continue to apply. EU/EEA
citizens travelling to the UK need a passport or national ID card. Non-EU/
EEA citizens may need a Standard Visitor visa to visit the UK. Info: https://
www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa
York
York is a contemporary, charming, and iconic city, known for its rich history
and heritage. With a population of 200,000, it’s big enough to feel lively,
but small enough to be friendly, and easy to cycle and walk around. With
its ancient walls, spectacular Gothic cathedral, historically-preserved
shopping streets and numerous restaurants, cafes and pubs, you shouldn’t
miss the opportunity to look around the city centre while you’re here. Info:
http://www.visityork.org/
Currency
The currency of the UK is the Pound (£). It is possible to use credit cards to
cover day-to-day expenses, although you may be charged additional
fees. It is recommended, however, to make a cash withdrawal as smaller
shops and public transport normally will not accept credit cards or
electronic payment.
Climate
York has a temperate climate with warm summers and relatively mild
winters. The average temperature for September is 18.0ºC during the
daytime and 9.5ºC at night. September is generally one of the driest
months of the year, but we would still advise you to bring an umbrella or
rain coat just in case!
Emergency / Non-Emergency contacts
Call 999 (Ambulance, Fire & Police) – in an emergency. You should only
dial 999 in the case of a serious emergency. Call 101 for general enquires
or to report an incident that does not require attention. Use the NHS
111 service if you need urgent medical help/advice but it’s not a lifethreatening situation.
Insurance
The organisers do not accept responsibility for individual medical, travel or
personal insurance. All participants are strongly advised to take out their
own personal insurance before travelling to the conference.
Power sockets
The voltage in Britain is 220/240 AC, 50 Hz. Electrical plugs have three
rectangular pins and take fuses of 3, 5 and 13 amps. Visitors from abroad
will need an adaptor for appliances that have been brought from home,
such as portable computers, hairdryers and phone chargers.

ABOUT THE MeCETES PROJECT:
‘Mediating Cultural Encounters through European Screens’ (MeCETES)
is a three-year collaborative research project between the University
of York, University of Copenhagen and Vrije Universiteit Brussels with
funding from Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA). It is
founded on the premise that in modern societies cultural encounters
are frequently mediated encounters. Our understanding of other
European nations, cultures and identities is therefore partly achieved
through encountering representations of Europeans from other nations
on screen. But which European films and television drama actually
travel well within Europe? How do they represent other European
nations, cultures and identities? And how do audiences engage
with such screen fictions? To answer such questions, the MeCETES
project team has examined the funding, production, distribution,
dissemination, reception and policy circumstances that enable
European film and television dramas to be made and to circulate, as
well as analysed detailed national case studies for the period 20052015. For more information, visit our website:
