Studies in Documentary Film

Studies in Documentary Film is the first refereed scholarly journal  
devoted to the history, theory, criticism and practice of documentary  
film. In recent years we have witnessed an increased visibility for  
documentary film through conferences, the success of general  
theatrical release of documentary films and the re-emergence of  
scholarship in documentary film studies. This journal will provide a  
home for the considered approach to international documentary film  
history, theory, criticism and practice serving a vibrant and growing  
international community of documentary film scholars. Studies in  
Documentary Film is committed to serving this community through the  
publication of articles from interdisciplinary, international and  
cross-cultural perspectives. It invites articles, interviews, reviews  
and reports covering a range of topics and styles pertinent to  
documentary film. The journal has engaged a high profile  
international Editorial Board to oversee contributions and journal  
directions.

The journal invites contributions, in English, from researchers  
throughout the world seeking to broaden the field of documentary film  
scholarship.

Some of the topics proposed include:
New approaches to documentary history
New developments in documentary theory
New technologies in documentary film
International trends in documentary film practice
Formal innovation in documentary film modes
Intersections of documentary practice and theory
Critical accounts of national documentary movements (particularly  
largely ignored cinemas)
Documentary auteurs
Political documentary
Critical writing on new documentary films


Major Papers (5000-9000 words) should include original work of a  
research or developmental nature and/or proposed new methods that are  
clearly and thoroughly presented and argued.

Shorter items (1,000 to 2,500 words) include
Reports on Documentary Film Festivals
Reports on Documentary Film Conferences
Book Reviews (in consultation with the Book Reviews Editor)
