      • FoodFood has often served as a focalpoint of culture and community in film. Families warmly meet around the dinner table while lovers indulge in opulent feasts. Home cooked meals can evoke comfort, tradition, and sociality but its very absence can point to its commodification and politicization. The richness of food and drink on film asks us to think more closely about its primacy. It asks us to question how lives are shaped by its ubiquity, otherwise taken for granted.
      • Coming of AgeComing of Age stories focus on characters’ seminal shifts and changes. These narratives take place within transitional periods where further realisation of self isn’t necessarily restricted to age. Definitions of maturity vary depending on the nature of change, but we can expect to explore the awkwardness, confusion, and discomfort that is inherent in seeking (or being thrust into) growth.

      • Into the Digital AgeAs we go Into the Digital Age this edition, we will be focusing on the coexistence of humanity and digital technology. Is this relationship conflict oriented, harmonious, or somewhere between the two? This coexistence can be analyzed through historical evolution, science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI), the impacts of neoliberalism, utopias, dystopias, current realities, and imagined futures.
