Film Matters 14.2 is out now!
Intellect is pleased to announce that Film Matters 14.2 is out now!
Welcome to the latest Film Matters, which, for this issue, is a joint effort with our partner institution, Chapman University. As always, one of our main aims for the journal is to offer editorial berths to higher education institutions around the world. Power sharing like this, we believe, is an opportunity not only to foreground the global spread, and reach, of film studies, but also to let all kinds of media learning centers explore their own signature ideas, and communal research projects, and outreach initiatives, within these pages.
