Working with Theresa L. Geller and her students at Grinnell College on their issue of Film Matters (2.4) on the theme of genre was such a positive experience, that we are looking forward to doing it again (three more times)!
John C. Tibbetts and his students at the University of Kansas will be producing issue 3.4 — due out later this year. Their theme is fan culture.
Donna Peberdy and her students from Southampton Solent University will be our first guest editors for volume year 4 (2013), with their issue 4.2 on the theme of stars and performance.
Finally, Christopher Sieving and his University of Georgia students will be working on issue 4.4 — our last of 2013 — for us, along the theme of film in the sixties. Sieving has mentored several of our past Film Matters authors (“Globalization and the Modern Vampire” by Lauren Berg; and “Ritual of the Sadists: The Subversive Horror Cinema of José Mojica Marins” by Will Stephenson) so we are pleased to be working with the University of Georgia again!
Ultimately, we are very excited to be able to share this unique publishing experience with undergraduate students and their instructors worldwide, and believe it results in a more diverse and vibrant Film Matters. Thanks, as ever, for your support and interest — and we hope to work with you soon.
