The Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific regions are home to many Indigenous nations and immigrant cultures from all around the world. Studies in Australasian Cinema will maintain an emphasis on this diversity with a special interest in postcolonial politics and contexts. Studies in Australasian Cinema pays equal heed to articles addressing independent and/or 'local' films and discussions of global commercial films produced and/or screened in the region. Interest in independent cinema's challenge to mainstream views will run alongside recognition of the complexity and cultural potency of commercial popular film.

Major Papers (5000-7000 words) should include original work of a research and/or developmental nature and/or proposed new methods that are clearly and thoroughly presented and argued; in exceptional cases longer articles may be considered.
