Scope
Studies in Eastern European Cinema provides the world-wide community of Eastern European film and media scholars with a platform for debate. The journal covers screen cultures of Albania, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine, just as well as cinemas of Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Yugoslavia as now non-existent states with historic cinematic tradition. It encourages authors to cover production, consumption and textual characteristics of films and other forms of the moving image and locate the material in national, as well as transnational perspectives, reflecting the convergence of various trends in world cinema, such as festivalization and the emergence of new distribution platforms that simultaneously re-establish and transcend geopolitical and cultural borders.
The journal editors are keen to publish articles on all types of moving image, both arthouse and popular films, television programmes and music videos, films produced for theatrical release, as well as amateur films and those for educational, industrial and advertising purposes.
Studies in Eastern European Cinema is edited by a board of experienced, internationally recognised experts in the field. The journal publishes 3 issues per year. Each year one or two special issues are published, devoted to phenomena which are under-researched in the existing literature. We are open to suggestions for specific themes from potential guest editors.
