HauntedFutures

A slight update to our CFP! Were please to announce that this year’s conference will have limited hybrid capacity! See our CFP for details!

@thevoidfox @TheVoidFoxy Ah @thevoidfox! Typo! We’re so sorry! We didn’t record panels but we really do insist that you join us next year and thank you again for sharing your work with us!

@HauntedFutures @TheVoidFoxy Hi hi! It's actually me. @TheVoidFoxy appears to be someone else ;) That said, thank you so much! Is there any record of the panels, the event at all? I'm aghast that I couldn't be there in physical form.

We were delighted to share the wonderful work of @TheVoidFoxy as part of this year’s conference. Foxy’s film (also titled Haunted Futures!) prompted some really fascinating discussions about digital space and synchronicities!!

Thank you so much for joining us Jac, your research is so fascinating and your paper was brilliant, we could have talked to you all day!!

Our final panel of Haunted Futures 2025 is our first ever fully online panel, very appropriate for our Haunted Technologies theme! We have papers from Ana Clara Alves, Rhys Handley, Aqsa Eram and Bronte Shiltz.

it was my absolute pleasure to talk about one of my favorite films @HauntedFutures and to use the phrase “Barbie snuffhouse” in my first ever conference presentation 🩸

@VioletShrieks We were so delighted you could join us Violet, an incredible paper and wonderfully articulated!!

Our first panel today saw papers from Jac Lewis and Alaz Okudan — followed by a fascinating discussion about AI, solipsism and Mark Fisher memes!

Finally for today, a beautiful (lycanthropic!) addition to Haunted Futures, from Lissie Carlisle, who brought us all copies of her amazing zine!

Our next panel looks at cinema and spectrality, very appropriate for Haunted Futures @uccfilmstudies! We have papers from @maxbledstein, Weija Zeng and Karen Smith.

Our next panel examine AI, gender, video games and the gothic! With papers from John Kavanagh, Federica Palazzi, Paula Garcia-Rodriguez and Violet Burns.

We’re now delighted to screen our colleague Lenneart Soberon’s film Dragon Teeth which won the prize for best short documentary at Galway Film Fleadh this summer!

Things took a distinctly liminal turn for our second panel, we had papers from Siobhán Scarlett O’Reilly, Thomas Conner and @uccfilmstudies’s own Kane Geary O’ Keeffe

A very exciting start to day 2 of Haunted Futures! Our first panel saw papers from Angela Byrne, Alfie Howard, David Ketelby and Lenneart Soberon!

For our final academic panel of today we welcome Marie-Pierre Buquier, Hanke Kelber and Claudia Ferrando Paulo!

After a lovely lunch, we are back with papers from Sam Dubois, and longtime friends of Haunted Futures Eleanor May Thorpe and Victoria Santamaria Ibor!!

After an amazing first session we are moving onto our first ever hybrid panel! This panel features presentations from Marta Snoch, Aditi Joshi and Russell Williams!

Haunted Futures 2015 is here! Our first panel looks at themes of fossil fuels, pollution, decay and occlusion — with papers from Damien O’ Connell, Maz Jardon, Beth Doyle and Nina Milonet!

I'm looking forward to making new connections @HauntedFutures (at the Department of Film and Screen Media, University College Cork) over the next few days.

Very excited and honoured to be included in the upcoming @HauntedFutures conference in Cork! I'll discuss the crisis of an increasingly hegemonic post-internet far right, and the relevance of hauntology for re-thinking antifascism

Dear HF 2025 delegates! The programme has been sent, the sandwiches have been ordered and we’re gearing up to welcome you to Cork between November 12th and 14th!
