[ecrea] new issue: The International Journal of Film and Media Arts Volume: 1, Number: 1 (2016) — animated documentary

The International Journal of Film and Media Arts Volume: 1, Number: 1 
(2016) http://revistas.ulusofona.pt/index.php/ijfma/issue/current is now 
available online.


This issue is dedicated to animated documentary, a theme of present-day 
relevance that gained more visibility after the release of feature films 
such as "Waltz with Bashir" (2008) by Ari Folman and "Persepolis" (2007) 
by Marjane Satrapi and publications by Judith Kriger (Animated Realism, 
Focal Press, 2012) and Annabelle Honess Roe (Animated Documentary, 
Palgrave, 2013). With papers by national and international authorities 
on the subject and case studies on animated documentary as a pedagogical 
tool for film schools, IJFMA vol 1, no 1 constitutes a milestone on the 
reflection on animated documentary as a crucial practice of contemporary 
cinema.


This issue also includes a Dossier on Agnès Varda, with the addresses 
given at the ceremony of the honoris causa doctorate degree recently 
awarded to Agnès Varda by Universidade Lusófona do Porto.
