Aims & Scope

Film Matters is an exciting film magazine, celebrating the work of undergraduate film scholars. It is published three times a year, by students and for students, and each issue contains feature articles, as well as a healthy reviews section. In addition, with an undergraduate audience in mind, Film Matters will include occasional service-oriented pieces, such as profiles of film studies departments, articles that engage the undergraduate film studies community and prepare students for graduate study in this field, and resources and opportunities that undergraduate scholars can pursue. In an effort to give undergraduate scholars real-world, applied-learning experiences, all Film Matters feature submissions will undergo a peer-review process (typically managed by undergraduate film and media students).

We strive for inclusivity in all areas of our operations. Broadly speaking, we seek to empower undergraduates from diverse backgrounds (race, ethnicity, gender/gender identity/gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, and economic status are our primary concerns), engaging our mentors/editors from varied experiences of academia (community colleges, private colleges, public universities, tenure track, non-tenure track, adjunct, graduate student, etc.). If you want to write or edit for us, we want to work with you. We feel, however, during these changemaking times, that it is particularly important to state that Black Lives Matter. And trans rights are human rights.

The views and opinions of all posts, including reviews and interviews, are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent or reflect those of the editors, the editorial board, or the advisory board.

Film Matters is published by Intellect with support from the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
