Aims and Scope

 

The primary purposes of SFS include the following:

  • to provide a resource that enables short film appreciation and study for instructors, scholars, critics, students and filmmakers;
  • each issue includes a focus on a theme, director or other topic of relevance to short film and media studies;
  • each issue showcases a selected short film, with a shot-by-shot breakdown and interview with the filmmaker; and
  • SFS also observes an open Call for Papers to encourage submissions from scholars, critics and practitioners that reflect their own research interests.

 

Its principal focus is on short fiction films, with additional attention to non-fiction, commercial/non-commercial and other narrative shorts, as well as to short form filmmakers, genres, festivals and curation. The aim of SFS is to reflect the inclusivity of short form media and filmmakers, and the variety of scholarly and critical approaches that are relevant to the form.
