Canadian Journal of Film and Media Studies Revue canadienne d'études cinématographiques et médiatiques

A project of University of Toronto Press (see other related projects).

About

The Canadian Journal of Film and Media Studies (CJFMS) is Canada's leading academic peer-reviewed film and media studies journal. We have published bi-annually since launching in 1990.

CJFMS publishes scholarly articles on film, television, and other audio-visual media. Subjects may be either Canadian or any other national or transnational cinema. We also publish reviews and review-essays of recent books in film and media studies.

Other occasional features of CJFMS are “Ciné-Documents” (rare and archival materials relevant to the study of moving images), and “Ciné-Forum,” in which we publish short articles on any topic of interest to film and media students and scholars. Possible topics include debates on current contributions to film theory, history, criticism, and pedagogy; information about archives, special collections, and other sources for research; translations; interviews; discussions of recent DVD or streaming media releases that have particular relevance to archival, critical, or pedagogical aspects of film studies.

Peer Review: This publication uses peer review for some or all submissions. Check for details.
