Background
 
This interdisciplinary conference is the third of a series which started in 2003, on design and cinema. The first meeting, Design in Wonderland (2003) was a national conference, followed by an international one with the theme of Form Follows Film (2005). The selected and rewritten works of both were later published as a book with a supplementary DVD, named after the second meeting, by Cambridge Scholars Press of London, in 2006. The book emphasized those representative forms that interlace the fields of design and cinema.

Design Cinema Conference

This third meeting, themed as Design-en-scène, is organized with the intention that scholars and practitioners will come together for interrogating the role and kinds of designed environments and their production that expand our experiences. This unavoidably covers a broad range of issues extending from material at one end to potential at the other, from actual to virtual, real to hyper-real, imagined to digitally created, all experienced at once by individuals as parallel existences. We expect to see what comes out from this fertile and hybrid world of parallel existence, in terms of potentials originating from design-cinema relations, with reference to theories, tools, practices.

Conference Structure
At the heart of the conference will be paper presentations by researchers of concrete and documentable research results. Applied, theoretical, results-oriented and speculative papers from both academia and industry will all be considered for inclusion. Contributions will be accepted in the following categories: Research Papers describing contributions and the latest results of scientific work. Industrial Papers should signal industrial needs for design and cinema approaches/ techniques, experiences from their implementation and use, experiences from training of professionals, best practice, qualitative case studies, etc. Philosophy or Speculations papers provide a category for papers where the author has a free hand to evolve new ideas without a claim for scientific validation. However, the paper should be rigorously related to state-of-the-art literature and clearly indicate the novelty of the ideas. Invited keynote speakers' contributions will help paint a clearer picture of the common ground from which the conference will take off.
