Studies in French Cinema
(ISSN 1471-5880) is a refereed journal published
three times per year by Intellect
Press. It is published to provide academics
and students with a consistent quality of scholarly
investigation across the full breadth of the subject,
including a focus on largely underdeveloped areas
of French Cinema studies and research. The Editors
welcome articles on any aspect of French Cinema,
but especially in the following three areas:
|
Film history
Research featuring new approaches
to canonised areas; interviews with film practitioners;
research into audiences; explorations into previously
ignored or under-represented cinematic eras.
Film genre and film trends
Genre is a key area for investigation
and there is still a lot of work to be done. Any avenue
of investigation will be welcome but authors should
bear in mind that genres need to be discussed within
their socio-political, historical and theoretical contexts.
Film trends are equally crucial to an understanding
of a culture – when cinema manifests a specific
preoccupation then it is clearly responding to the socio-political
and cultural context in which it finds itself. SFC seeks
articles that analyse trends in cinema using theoretical
models from cultural studies and including, where appropriate,
case studies.
Film
technique and cinematic theory
Research is needed to redress the current
scarcity of work on how film technology impacts on the
final product, including camera operation, colour technology,
film stock, lighting, make-up, costume, decor and new
technologies; space will also be made in this section
for the publication of new debates in film theory.
The
journal can be read online by Extenza subscribers.
