Description

Film History publishes original research on the international history of cinema and related media. Our areas of interest are the production, distribution, exhibition, and reception of films designed for commercial theaters as well as the full range of nontheatrical, noncommercial uses of motion pictures; the role of cinema as a contested and shifting cultural phenomenon; the technological, economic, political, and legal aspects of film history; the circulation of film within and across national borders; and the relations between film and other visual media and forms of commercial entertainment.  We also encourage scholarship on digital methods and film historiography as well as work in film philosophy that addresses questions of history and historiography.
