AIC 2020 ABSTRACTS – NEW DEADLINE
AIC 2020 MEETING
New abstract submission deadline: 5 April 2020, 5pm (GMT)
Dear AIC Members
Please see the below important messages from the AIC2020 organising team regarding the updated abstract submissions information:
=====
In the context of Covid-19 sanitary situation, to assess the feasibility of AIC2020 on the 6-9th October in Avignon it is indispensable to determine the number of delegates.
For that matter, this third call for abstract will be the final call, and for budget cancellation purposes, the DEADLINE for abstract submission is now set on:
5th April at 5:00pm (GMT)
Since this deadline is the definitive deadline and cannot be extended, the abstract format is now between 150 to 500 words so short abstracts can be submitted.
All abstracts can be modified until 15th April.
We apologise for sending a definitive call with a slightly earlier deadline. This decision has been carefully considered in view of the exceptional situation that can compromised AIC2020 in its actual format. In the unfortunate event that the meeting cannot be organised in Palais des Papes, an alternative format will be considered so submitted communications can be presented and published.
We hope that many of you will send a contribution so AIC2020 can succeed with flying colours!
=====
Yours sincerely,
Vien Cheung
AIC President
Iiris 2019 awarded to cinematographer and colour grader Pentti Keskimäki
The Finnish Colour Association’s Iiris Prize 2019 was awarded on 21st March to cinematographer and colour grader Pentti Keskimäki. The ever greater role of the colour grader as a creative author of the visual appearance of a film remains without due recognition. At the same time Pentti Keskimäki has worked unflinchingly and productively for over two decades towards raising the visual quality of Finnish films closer to an international level. As an important pioneer in his own field in Finland, Keskimäki has researched various techniques in colour grading. He has collaborated with cinematographers and other film professionals in order to draw attention to the potential of colour grading as part of the creative process of film making. Keskimäki’s professional portfolio includes over 80 film productions in which he has been involved as a cinematographer, colour grader or in other duties. In addition, he has collaborated closely in carrying out various tests and educational events, has actively guided both young and experienced film makers and has forged an impressive career of his own as a colour grader.
Pentti Keskimäki and SVY:s President Saara Pyykkö
The Iiris certificate was handed over to Pentti Keskimäki at the Colour, colour – seminar on Saturday 6th April in the National Audiovisual Institute’s cinema, Kino Regina, which is situated in the new Oodi Library building in central Helsinki. The seminar was organised by the National Audiovisual Institute and the Film and Scenography department of Aalto University. The seminar’s themes were the significance of colour and the development of colour techniques in cinema. After the seminar there was a screening of two rare colour films: The Great Sacrifice (Opfergang), directed by by Veit Harlan (Germany, 1944) and Swan Lake by Apollinari Dudko (USSR, 1968).
The Iiris Prize
AIC international Colour Association has proposed that the Spring Equinox (21st March) should be celebrated as International Colour Day. The idea is to celebrate colour, to draw attention to it as a phenomenon uniting mankind and to highlight events and achievements associated with colour.
The Finnish Colour Association’s Iiris Prize is awarded annually on 21st March to a person or persons whose work or deed has created an outstanding colour experience or has noticeably improved the aesthetic appreciation, functionality or safety of people’s daily lives or environment. The work can involve fine art, design, architecture or environmental design or for example colour technologies such as photography, colorimetry or the printing process.

AIC Midterm Meeting 2019, Color and Landscape
14-17 October 2019, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Call for papers
You are invited to participate and submit abstracts related to “Color and Landscape”. The theme covers different aspects of the landscape, including visions, constructions and configurations. The concept of landscape has a double existence: the observer and what is observed. It can be thought of as having natural and social configurations; a product of actions and interactions of nature and humans; a perception by a social group and individuals. The landscape has an objective and subjective character; it is a social and cultural construction, a visual reality and a mental image, a transformation from the idea of terrestrial surface to that of identity in a society. Color and landscape can be described, written, perceived, drawn, painted, remembered, lived, walked, traveled, thought of, colored, represented, prefigured, created, designed, inhabited, symbolized, transformed … from literary, physical, pictorial, cultural, patrimonial, archaeological, anthropological, psychological, historical, philosophical, aesthetic, sociological, geographical, topographic, or epistemological points of view, among others.
