Film Matters has special Call for Papers for issue 2.4! Click here to download.

Film Matters invites contributions from any undergraduate student currently enrolled at an institution of higher learning worldwide and working towards a bachelor’s degree in any field. Recent graduates are also eligible, providing they submit to a call the deadline for which occurs within six months from their graduation date. Any original piece of written scholarship involving film criticism, history, or theory will be considered for publication. Submissions should be written in English and be 2500 to 4000 words in length, with 3000 words being the ideal target. After a prescreening, submissions will undergo a peer review process, typical of scholarly journals. Referee comments will be returned to those authors who progress beyond the prescreening process. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to work closely with the Film Matters editorial board to revise their pieces prior to publication. Please include a cover sheet, which gives the author's name, title of essay, institutional affiliation, and contact information (particularly email address); all other identifying information should be removed from the body of the text, in order to aid the blind peer review process.

Please email submissions as Microsoft Word email attachments to Liza Palmer at palmerl@uncw.edu.
