Film Matters is pleased to announce a new partnership! Starting with issue 2.2 (2011), we will regularly be publishing a column called “Mapping Contemporary Cinema,” managed by the students and staff of the film studies department at Queen Mary, University of London and based on a larger project they are organizing.
Mapping Contemporary Cinema is a website created by staff and students in the film studies department at Queen Mary, University of London. The website is devoted to the publication of intelligent in-depth accounts of individual contemporary films, as well as shorter editorials on a range of different themes. All the work is produced and developed by a student-run editorial board. At present our focus is on US and German cinema, though we do hope to extend this coverage in the near future. We are particularly keen to hear from people who teach contemporary cinema and who might be interested in learning more about the writing, editing and publishing process, and perhaps also offering their own students’ work for publication. The site has only just been launched and more content will be added over the summer.
