Focus and Scope

Film-Philosophy is an international, fully open access and peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the engagement between film studies and philosophy.

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.

All articles in Film-Philosophy are double-blind peer-reviewed.

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 is a useful resource for information on publications and conference in the field. Our Facebook group has over 7000 members.

We host an annual conference related to the work of the journal.

Since 2016, Film-Philosophy is published by Edinburgh University Press and remains fully Open Access, with no charge to authors or readers:

Peer Review Process

We operate a system of double-blind peer review. 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Book reviews, festival reports and interviews are not peer-reviewed.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 in one annual volume but articles appear on a rolling basis throughout each year.

 

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

The journal does not charge authors or readers.

Film-Philosophy is now published by Edinburgh University Press at:
