The 14th AIM Annual Meeting and International Conference will be held in Faro on 28-30 May 2025. Exceptionally, it is being organised in collaboration with NECS - European Network for Cinema and Media Studies, whose next annual conference is taking place in Lisbon, in June 2025. We welcome our colleagues from NECS! Whether in Faro or Lisbon, it will be a pleasure to help bring these two networks closer together!
AIM invites the submission of proposals for papers and pre-constituted panels, in Portuguese, Spanish, or English, focusing on the moving image as a scientific area, including the study and history of cinema, television, video and digital media.
Proposals must contain the following elements: (1) name, contact and institutional affiliation; (2) link to the author’s biographical note (e.g. institutional website, ORCID); (3) title of the paper; (4) short abstract not exceeding 1000 characters (including spaces, i.e. around 150 words); (5) long abstract not exceeding 3000 characters (including spaces, i.e. around 500 words); (6) up to five bibliographical references; (7) up to six keywords. Incomplete proposals will not be considered.
Proposals may be submitted as individual papers or pre-constituted panels. These can be associated (or not) with AIM’s Work Groups (WGs). Before assigning your individual paper to a WG (option available in the submission form), please check the information available on our website, here. Pre-constituted panels may include discussants, whose names must be listed in the form.
Proposals may be submitted by AIM members (who are exempt from conference registration fees) and by non-members (who must pay a registration fee of €60 upon acceptance of their proposal). To become a member of AIM, please follow the instructions here. Please note that membership application is subject to a review process that may take up to 10 days.

The long abstracts of the papers presented at the conference will be published in our Conference Abstract Proceedings, an open access digital edition with ISBN that will be available for download on the AIM website. Long abstracts ought to include the following: (1) a brief but clear introduction of the object of study, (2) the research objectives, (3) the hypothesis/thesis or argument, (4) a note on the methodology, (5) the (preliminary) results or conclusions.
