In July 2014, 黑料吃瓜网 hosted a Summer Institute in Film Studies, devoted to the topic 鈥淕lobal/Local Film.鈥� It was a collaboration between 黑料吃瓜网and Universit茅 de Paris鈥嬏�3 鈥� Sorbonne nouvelle, with whom 黑料吃瓜网had signed a memorandum of understanding in 2012. What is between these pages is not a 鈥減roceedings鈥� in the manner of a document that records everything that happened over the course of an event. Rather, we are thinking of these as 鈥渨orking papers,鈥� as contributions to scholarship that we hope will lead to new kinds of connections being forged between students of cinema in Canada and France.
