The 2015 Annual Conference was themed as ‘Beyond the Frame’ and invited participants to consider the following topics when submitted paper proposals:

• Animation beyond the frame (e.g. animation and live performance, projection mapping, animation installation)
• Animation: frames of reference (e.g. rethinking/reclaiming animation histories, practice-research, asking (again) what is animation?
• Animation in other art forms & industries (e.g. theatre, music, science, architecture)
• Immersive, interactive, experiential animation (e.g. gaming, transmedia, stereoscopy, augmented & virtual reality
• Critical and theoretical approaches to animation histories or national movements/identities
• Animation and documentary
• Animation production (e.g. industrial contexts, auteurial production, the importance of the frame)
• Animation pedagogy (e.g. theory and practice in curricula, traditional and online learning)
• Beyond the event (e.g. archiving animation, local/national/international preservation initiatives, the scholarly community – SAS/SCMS-AMSIG)
