Overview

The German Screen Studies SIG emerges out of the German Screen Studies Network, an independent international network founded in 2011 as a platform for research and public engagement activities relating to German-language screen media. The BAFTSS group acts as the GSSN’s principal UK research forum, providing a focus at the BAFTSS conference and related events for national and international scholarship on German-language screen media.​
​

Following each BAFTSS annual conference, BAFTSS German Screen Studies SIG presentations and papers will be proposed for publication in guest-edited issues of selected academic journals.
