Focus and Scope

Film-Philosophy considers articles on any subject relating to film and philosophy. Film-Philosophy is interested in the ways in which films develop and contribute to philosophical discussion. We particularly welcome articles that set up an active engagement between film studies and philosophy, thereby sustaining a thoughtful reevaluation of key aspects of each discipline.

Founded in November 1996, Film-Philosophy is an international academic journal dedicated to philosophically reviewing film studies, philosophical aesthetics and world cinema. With over 1200 members worldwide, the email list encourages discussion of related topics. The journal is published three times per year and articles are peer-reviewed.

Peer Review Process

We operate a system of double-blind peer review. Every article submission accepted for consideration will be considered by two reviewers. We try and get a decision back to authors within 12 weeks of submission.

Book reviews, festival reports and interviews are not peer-reviewed.

We ask our peer reviewers to respond critically but constructively to submissions. These are the questions that reviewers consider when evaluating submissions:

  • Does the submission make an original contribution to the field, or does it cover well known material?
  • Is the submission up to date, relevant and contextualised? Does it take into account recent, relevant research?
  • Does the submission have a clear focus and structure?
  • Is there a clear argument written in a clear style? Does the author resort to jargon or confusing language?

 

Publication Frequency

Film-Philosophy is published twice per year.

 

Open Access Policy
