Fictional films and documentaries frequently celebrate victories of justice and triumphs over adversity in functioning democratic institutions (e.g. Twelve Angry Men), while others explore more fractious moral and ethical dilemmas related to the concept. For instance, can there ever be a moral justification for acting above the law – even committing a serious crime for a “higher purpose”? One might reference Woody Allan’s countless adaptations of Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. Is a work of fiction or media reporting culpable if it falsifies for a “good cause?” Does justice have a “dark side,” or is this the outcome of it being manipulated? Questions like these have been with us throughout the ages. Do they exist as boundaries for reflection rather than questions to be answered? Some modern TV series look into justice issues from a legal point of view, but also probe the psychology of many types of people on both sides of the law. What do these contribute to the better understanding of the complexities of human nature and human emotion exposed in them? We expect this open and enduring theme to excite a number of stimulating research paths, and look forward to their outcomes. We look forward to seeing you at FilmAsia2016! Submissions are organised into the following thematic streams: -Film Direction and Production -Film Criticism and Theory -Film and Literature: Artistic Correspondence -Biography -Film History -Documentary History -Archive-Based Studies -Films and Digital Distribution (use of the internet and video sharing) -Anime and Digital Film Production -Films, Festivals, and Fans (audience/fan responses to film) ***FilmAsia2016 Conference Chairs and Featured Speakers Professor Gary Swanson Conference Co-Chair and Featured Speaker CEO D’image Studios Former Hansen Endowed Chair in Journalism and Distinguished Journalist-in-Residence, The University of Northern Colorado, USA Dr. James Rowlins Conference Co-Chair Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Professor Richard Roth MediAsia2016 Featured Speaker Senior Associate Dean Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University Dr. Paul Spicer Conference Co-Chair and Featured Speaker Hiroshima Jougakuin University, Japan ***About IAFOR and its events IAFOR welcomes thousands of academics to our conferences each year, which range in size from around 100 to in excess of 500 attendees.
