Concept Note:  Films transcend national language. The language of cinema, language-like character of cinema and the treatment of language in cinema need special attention and investigation. With the recent development of interest in the semiology of cinema, it is imperative to decipher all the three modes of sign,  indexical, iconic and symbolic, in order to get to the mission of total, all-inclusive or comprehensive aesthetic pleasure that cinema aims at and to study the decoding process of the aesthetic mandate of a film by the audience. Keeping all these in views, this conference seeks to explore, sort and bind the hitherto unattended links in the area. An interface of academicians and film/ theatre personalities, reviewers or critics to discuss different aspects is also stipulated. 

Subthemes other than the listed can also be included and a separate panel can be arranged if a group of 5 delegates is formed/ registered.
