DWFTH 7 took place on 18-20th June 2025 at the University of Lincoln, UK.
The key theme of this year’s conference was ‘Entangled Media: Past and Present’ in and across women’s work in film, television and related media. The theme encouraged exploration of the often complex processes by which film and television are made, distributed, seen and received across borders, be they geographical, cultural, ideological or otherwise defined.
The conference aimed to explore various approaches to analysing women’s work in the global mediascape. It encouraged the examination of overlooked voices, figures, pioneers, organizations and collaborations and the contributions women have made to transnational and transmedia production, circulation and consumption and their various entanglements. Our definition of ‘women’ is inclusive.
Following the success of the 6th conference at Sussex last year, this three-day event was again in person and welcomed a variety of international scholars, practitioners and groups and promises meetings, gatherings and conversations within and outside the panels. The conference was organised by Hannah Andrews, Jeongmee Kim, Diane Charlesworth and Frances Morgan from the School of Film, Media and Journalism.
