IMDB Qualified

Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) Wall of Fame is an international film festival in Lisbon, Portugal that helps filmmakers screen unique moving images often overlooked in the economic issues & tabloid politics of fame.

As the world’s first celebrity expert to be on tabloids, CMCS will offer honour, exposure, and connect film artists as role models in celebrity culture and offer an annual Samita Nandy Productions Award to the CMCS Wall of Fame prize winner & Hollywood’s Stage 32 webinar to 1st runner-up winner.

Submissions must be made on https://filmfreeway.com/WallofFameFestival

Screening Locations:

  • Chasing Rabbits – Lisbon
  • Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies online platforms

Awards: 

All applicants will receive an annual CMCS media workshop & access to a Happy Hour Mixer!
– All finalists will receive a CMCS Wall of Fame festival live public screening, nomination laurel, and will be featured on our CMCS Wall of Fame IG
– Best film award winner will receive a CMCS Wall of Fame festival laurel, and listed in IMDB Awards
– 1st CMCS Wall of Fame runner-up award-winner will also be listed in IMDB Awards & our social media as well as eligibility for a second screening

CMCS Membership & Library

CMCS membership is free and open to academics, media professionals, creative practitioners, students, and all community members on our listserv:  https://us3.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8d968a451671b45aa780b5674&id=c0075e3a74

Library:

In 2012, CMCS research network was founded by scholars published in the field of celebrity studies. It started with bibliographic references and archived reading material and films that academics, journalists, artists, and aficionados could explore to develop research and creative productions in critical/cultural studies of fame. The purpose of this reading list is to empower and engage scholars and public intellectuals in thoughts, productions, and publications on popular media and celebrity culture. While most books, articles, and audio-visual material are available in digital formats, other material can be accessed at libraries and bookstores. In the last 5 years, we have received and shared shipped books and journals at seminars and conferences and look forward to suggesting new reading material. Please feel free recommend bibliographic details that students and journalists may find valuable at any time. In the future, the centre aims to create a library space where readers and creative producers can further connect. Currently, we archive research in our Celebrity Chat video series that was started by Jackie Raphael and David P. Marshall.  CMCS Director: Samita Nandy
